i'm no gaffer either but i think 25fps crystal is an hmi safe speed for 50hz 
current which is what you would have in the uk. all the hmi units should 
synch to the current, so not necessary to link them. you may have to have 
some sort of phase unit to synch the camera to the lights but once synched 
it shouldn't be any problem. hope this helped.
