Our criteria for success are disastrously skewed. In my view, a successful person is one who does more good than harm, on any scale. On this measure, most billionaires are massive failures, while humble folk in my neighbourhood who look after other people are highly successful.

I "need" to buy another light for my YouTube videos. Already have Amaran Pano 60c (current key) + Amaran Ace 25c (background/fill). Am considering getting a new Halo for the Bowens mount and 85° beam angle, to be my new key light with a 60cm softbox. So: 60W or 200W? Should I pay 2X to future-proof?
