Will these lights work with my greenscreen?

   I am thinking about buying some lights for about $200 to light my greenscreen.  Here are the links for the 2 lights I am going to buy.  Would these be good lights for my greenscreen?

    I think these would work. The use of an umbrella or soft box allows the light to be spread out evenly, which is what you want for a green screen. The downside is that the lights may not be bright enough since it's either being reflected off the umbrella or shining through the soft box.

   I don't have a recombined amout of wattage to suggest because I don't really do green screen work though. Sorry.

    Nope they won't be bright enough, you will also need 2 lights to light your green screen, for that you can use 2 500 watt work lights.  For the front try these  http://store02.prostores.com/servlet/tubetape/the-59/Continuous-Lighting-Kit--dsh-/Detail
