Photogs: lighting kit suggestions under $500?

[furrygirl]

The lights are for stills and vids, but keep in mind that I am by no means a professional content producer, and plenty of my amateur peers use on-camera flash or shop lights. So, compared to the horror that is amateur flash photography, a $500 light kit does look quite good to me. (Although, I never use on-camera flashes, but I depend on sunshine and other lights around the house.) I don't want to hassle with a flash setup, because I like the consistency of seeing how things look with constant lighting and not worrying about making things coordinate with my camera, or multiple cameras.

I won't be shooting very far away, 5-15 feet I imagine. And it's not for lighting up a huge orgy party, it's just me. Juggernaut: that link doesn't work, what am I look for? I rarely take my work on the road, but I would like the option of something that isn't impossible to move to a hotel room or take on a plane.
