Any Actinic sites selling Light tents?

Theres actually a pretty handy thread on images and suchlike on here already. I'll have a look later.

Have been looking at this sort of thing. We do sell some big things but its mostly stuff you could fit inside a 50cm tent. looks like the tents themselves are cheap, but the lights could get pricey.

Get the lights from Screwfix. As cheap as finely cut potatoes deep fried.

Yes - that's basically a Lastolite Cubelite.

The fun they're talking about is unfolding the bl**dy thing, which goes from nought capacity to huge in 5 milliseconds, knocking everything in your office over (including, and smashing your camera and the thing you were about to photo), and folding it up again and getting it back in its bag - this is like wrestling with a psychotic octopus.

Pick it up and chuck it outside woman. I'm sure it'd rather not be suffocated in a pile of used maternity pants.

The lights shown are fluorescent low heat - be careful using anything else that close - having trashed your office unfolding the tent it would be icing on the cake to then burn it down.

it's near the ceiling...and..err....NO!

I'm not touching it! I'm just keeping on eye on it to make sure it doesn't move and, if it does, expect a visitor LOL

Each tent comes with a $50,000 prize for anyone getting the octopus back to nought capacity and inside the supplied bag.

For thread completions sake, I've bought one (abit like the one in the link provided above). I'm slightly concerned it might slightly 'on the brown side' as far as quality goes as I only paid £15!! (it was an auction with no other bidder, not 'buy it now'). We see - if it is rubbish I havn't lost too much.
Thanks for your help and tips.
