If I was just getting started in video production and did not have any lights, this would be the deal I would go for!
MarkerTek is selling a
three-light kit from Westcott (a big name in video and photography lighting) for under $250 that is a great starter kit. With two 500watt softboxes and a kicker light for the background, you can do the vast majority of interview setups you will need to do, and the softboxes work great to add a little light here and there when shooting other footage. I would certainly recommend checking this deal out and investing in lights like these to bring your production value up to another level--from amateur to professional. If you do purchase this kit, be sure to read my lighting tip about
two-point lighting.
