Today's questions are from Tara K., “I have a Westcott FJ400 strobe with some modifiers and want to invest in a second light. Should I get another FJ400 so both have the same power? Or would that be too strong in the studio because I couldn’t turn it down enough? Should I get the FJ200 instead? I’m overwhelmed by all the choices. I don't want to buy more than I need but I also want something that will grow with me in the future. Thanks, David.”
