Although this doesn't directly answer your question, you might be interested in a couple of the articles about studio lighting on this web site:

Go down to Jessops and take a look at their Portaflash flash heads. Its not solid enough for a professional but for occasional use they're fine. You could do with:

- a main flash + stand
- a fill-in + stand
- a background light + stand + barndoors
- a hair light + stand + snoot
- a brolly
- a circular reflector (like Lastolite)
