Back in the eighties I carried a couple of White Lightnings all over the southeast. Great units. Walt I've never used flash for flat copy work but that doesn't mean it won't work. Of course, the easy way might be to set them up and use high watt bulbs for the modeling lights and no flash. Want to make sure what you see is what you get with this kind of endeavor.
