Here is a guest post I did for Robert Grant of Learn My Shot.
I ran across a site recently while studying how to improve my stock photography and stock videos that was really helpful so I started commenting on their site to learn more. After a while they looked at my videos and they asked if I wanted to do a guest post for them. I was honored and I told them I was testing out different lighting to compare the differences and I would like to do a video on that. Below is the guest post I did for Learn My Shot (run by Robert Grant and Sasha Gitin). I just want to thank them for allowing me to post it here as well.
Definitely check out their site if you are into photography and you are on a tight budget.
My Tutorial
Clamp Light
Halogen Light
Please watch Robert do an excellent job in his tutorial.
From what I can see the clamp light seems sharper.
The halogen light gives it a softer touch.(look at the water stains).You rock as always.
After decades of using BRONCOLOR strobes for my photo shots, I got involved with video
and I discovered the most fantastic, raw lighting system for video in my personal opinion
LOWEL, with its model DP, Not too expensive us $ 180 per head but you have control,
accessories, Heat is an issue in this halogen light, but this LOWEL DP is very well designed
for comfort

@Felipe Thanks for the link, I have some Lowel lights that I am borrowing and they are pretty good, does this one have control over the beam of light?
Yes they have a huge control over the beam, as I said the control that this particular model
has is great, and the DP has a younger brother the OMNI, that is a little smaller, lighter,
but has a very similar design, Most of the time use the DP over the OMNIS because of
the potency 1000 watts , with the Dichroic Filter you can use it mixed with sun light outdoors
at large distances, and if the distance is too long just use two of them.
I personally think that other models from LOWEL are not as comfortable as DP and OMNI,
However considering the PROLIGHT
Keep doing work ,fantastic task!
