Amaran COB lights for product shots?

Buying Advice

Hi all.

Looking at getting our first studio setup and looking for advice on cob lights over strobe.

Why? We will also want to do some video work, plus it will be primarily product photography. Also want the option of getting quick content on phone over mirrorless.

Can’t find a ton of information, so hoping someone with these lights or similar can advise.

Looking at something like the amaran 200xs as a key light with soft box, and a 100xs as a secondary light. (Or another 200 if you think it’s best to have the same lights?)

Is this a powerful enough setup to get product shots like pictured here? https://freshsends.com

Also what type of softbox shapes would you recommend in this type of setup?

Will be shooting in a garage we are modifying for this usage.
