I really really REALLY lust after some studio lights.

On ebay they sell complete "light kits".... let me find the link.

Do you think these are sufficient lights? A good deal? Enough for a beginner like me to play around with??

And what about the backgrounds?? Paper??

Any advice appreciated. Like I said - I would just like to be able to take posed shots indoors.... and right now I can't. I HATE FLASH.
