portable power supply for light kit
I am getting a Smith Victor Thrifty 500 Total Watt 2-Light Kit with Case kit. I will be shooting indoor(interviews and green screen) and outdoor. What is the best portable power source I can use? I know I do not need a generator b/c they are powered by gas(not safe to use indoors). The closest power source I found for my needs was a XPower Powerpack 1500. https://www.xantrex.com/web/id/63/p/1/pt/10/product.asp
I am not sure this will be powerful enough. I estimate that I will need the lights to run for at least 4 hours. I am also thinking about getting a more robust lighting system that would have a total of 2500 watts. I only need to use this power source for my lights. My camcorder and mics will be running off of their build-in power source.

You will struggle to light a green screen plus the subject with two lights.(especially @ 500watts) Get some lights you can plug in and for out doors, use a reflector or two.
