Lights are some of the most important tools photographers use in the creation of their final products. Here's a look at some of the most basic photography lighting equipment, as it relates to studio strobe lighting. Choose the right tools, and you'll get a better result, every time.

However, rather than take that chance, it's a better idea to find the equipment to help you do a really professional job.
Bare bulbs are just a strobe head with no reflector, allowing the light to go wherever it wants to. They're only really effective as a portrait background light in a small space. They can also be used inside light boxes. However, for pretty much every other use, you'll want a reflector or diffuser of some sort.
