You can get used lights and grip stuff here; they have a good deal to get 2 used c-stands for $170 shipped.

No, really. My favorite eBay buy ever was my Arri 2000 Watt fresnel with barn doors and bulb. Worth much more then the $400 I payed for the whole lot.

Oh, and remember, anything above a 2k will blow a household 20 amp breaker. You will need either a generator with more then 20 amps or use two separate circuits to power stuff more then that.

HMI's will also blow fuses, regardless of the wattage. It's happened to me more times than I care to say.

B&H is probably the best and most trustworthy.

This might sound stupid, but what is an HMI?

No, I bet you have regular Tungsten Fresnels. They look very similar but are very different.
