Portable studio light recommendation at DVinfo.net

Have: 2x Caselights, 1x prolight, shooting 2,3 cams HDV & XDCAM EX

20' x 16' room with 10' foot ceiling my employer is dedicating to video production.

WANT: to light interview and panel discussion - between 2-5 people, possibly light 1-2 people with green screen, create interest in backgrounds i.e. gobos on walls/curtains, coloured gels etc.

Probably need to have all this lighting kit fully portable as I travel and also film on location frequently.

Looked at Dedo Portable studio kit6..maybe a bit of overkill, but the projector lights would be useful as we also stage live events i.e. lighting are floor standing banners, gobo backdrops. I just worry about 4,5 harshlights, I like the diffused, cool flouros.

To date it's been a simple light set-up - couple of caselights as key & fill, prolight as for background of highlight/backlight as needed, maybe w/ brella close.
