Look into the 'marriage' of the two systems too.
Hot lights have the disadvantage of being short
lived (if bright) or not bright. They ARE hot. Bad
for several motifs and for many attachments. Their
exact color temperature is tricky to manage (if
shooting film -- easier with digital). Their BIG
advantage is: You see what you get, lights vs.
shadows, ratios, colorations etc.
The marriage is to use 'weak' hot lights for
composition, and bright, color stable, daylight
balanced flash for final exposure. This is realized
in nearly any so called studio flash, as those
"Alien Bees" (mentioned at this list earlier --
but there are many others). They combine the best
from both worlds.
Portable, mains independent studio units are yet
another play ground ...
