I don't know much about lighting but i need a starter kit for portraits and full shots.

I was looking around the price range of £200, as i'm a student it doesn't need to be amazing but decent enough for me to do client shoots.

Try the Interfit EX150 MkII - this is around your budget and has adjustable power albeit only 150w flash output. Great value kit.

Quote: albeit

quirky English language word... substitute something like... "although it has".........(only 150w....)
in place of "albeit" ( short for "all be it")

Calumet is a good place to start - lots to play with but well worth it as you see the differences straight away.

Quote: Can someone explain to me what a power albeit is

My apologies. Missed a comma between power and albeit
As for other requirements, and infra-red trigger is advisable to save slaves and cables. Other non-essential but desirable pieces of kit would be a light-meter, reflectors, barn doors, snoots, etc but many of these can be improvised until your budget can afford them.
Good luck.
