No other lights, just the two big 5 bulb softboxes in a small room, illuminating a small area, about 7 feet wide by 6 feet high and maybe 3 feet deep (just picture a person sitting in a chair in front of a backddrop) They don't get hot so that's not a concern, shadows aren't a problem either. I've watched all the tutorials on 3 point lighting, problem is I don't have enough space to do that properly, so I opted for just a lot of light to fill the area. I know it's a subjective question to a large degree.
