I often get asked the question, "What light should I buy?" or "What's the best light?" - so my response is usually "What's your budget" and "what is it going to be used for?" - so without knowing either of those, I can't give a great answer.. but if it's a recommendation you're looking for based on any budget and my experience, this video covers the whole range.
