Personally, I think you dont need to spend a lot to achieve great results. For most outdoor scenes, obviously, you wont need any extra lighting. A few large pieces of styrofoam for reflectors work well. Also, shooting on cloudy days is perfect, usually no extra work needed (i.e. screens, reflectors. etc.). For shooting indoors, try working with whatever light you have, and if possible, bounce it off a wall instead of pointing it straight at the person. If the lights are too dim, use a piece tissue paper to diffuse the light (but make sure it doesnt catch fire!), but I prefer reflected light. Also, if you need high power lights, Lowe's and Home Depot have 500w work lights for around $20- more than enough power for most shots. BTW, I'm interested in filmmaking as well, so feel free to contact me at any time to talk about filmmaking. Hope this helps!

The kind of light kit has nothing to do with whether your film is an independent production. Spec-ing out a light kit has everything to do with the set, scene and end result YOU want your film to have. Once you determine the "look" you're targeting, then buy lighting equipment based on your media - miniDV, DVCAM, high def, standard def, etc.
There's a lots of factors and you need to do some homework.

Lighting kits are expensive (a grand or more) find out if there are any rental places in your area and rent a pro kit for your shoot for what you'd pay to buy a cheap one.
Good brands include Arri, Lowel and Mole Richardson
