Not to be excessively grumpy but
There's no lighting kit on the planet that renders professional
results."
PEOPLE render professional results. Or not.
Give someone who truly understands lighting a few hundred bucks and send
them into any large home center and they'll light the socks off any
scene you like.
Give someone who doesn't understand lighting - access to a 5 ton grip
truck and you'll get a disaster.
That said, ANYTHING you can read about the craft, including Graff's book
will start you on the road to getting what you need. (a brain that
thinks good lighting)
So it's good advice to buy whatever you can afford and then get out and
start lighting stuff ASAP - which is exactly what your post indicates
you want to do.
Excellent plan.
