Budget lighting kits

[4DAIVI PAI2K5]

Any input? I'm NOT spending a bunch of money I mostly just looking for stuff to shoot some gun pics in my basement. Between 1-120 bucks is what I have sitting in my paypal account so that's what I'm willing to spend. 

 

Looked at these ones. 

1.

 

2,

 

Ebay price range.

 

Amazon price range.

When I was a poor student, I would use simple cheap reflectors with basic light bulbs.

And either use black and white, or use a filter to adjust the color.

Now you might be able to simply adjust the color with photoshop.

 

Although I use paint dot net, it's free (getpaint.net)

 

edit: now if shooting people, you'll need something like what you're thinking about.

Better light and not so much heat. Reflector umbrellas with slave strobe bounce.

I've not done it myself but cheap tungsten work lights were supposedly the right wavelength / temperature for certain films. A digital camera and attached lens may not work as well with them.
