lighting recommendation?

[cnote]

i'm looking for a pretty basic 1 (or maybe 2)-light strobe kit that would primarily be used for location portraits. i'd like to keep the price around $250. anyone have any suggestions?

any feedback's appreciated.

I use AlienBees. They will be a little more expensive than your price, but they are a great deal and work very well. If you are going to invest any money in lighting, start here. You will not be disappointed.
