I got my first kit from Ebay via Hong Kong, a full set up with 2 lights, 2 softboxes, 2 umbrellas, 2 stands and leads lights were 150W - it's basically the same as the Interfit starter kit for around £230 but I think mine cost around £150. If you don't want to import then the Interfit kit is a good starter package

Something like that will be all you need as a starter in your front room at home. I since upgraded to Elinchrom and use the generic lights as lights 3 & 4 if required.

I also bought a background stand kit from eBay which came with black & white muslin sheets, I don't use the sheets, I bought some white vinyl from a company that makes HGV trailer covers and saved myself about £150 on the same stuff supplied by Lastolite. (I think I paid £45 for 3M by 8M incl delivery from Scotland)
