Anyone good with lights?

Been trying to shoot some stuff with my lights, but just can't get the settings right. I have two hot lights and a friend brought over a third for fill light, but still can't get it right. Here are a couple I took tonight. Keep in mind these have had some pretty good tweaks in PS just to make them look this good (or bad).....

If I remember correctly the use of a light tent is suggested when shooting glass to duffuse the light, yet have enough of it to properly light up the subject.

That would make sense. The reflections of the light were awful on the side of the glass. Thanks Ed!

I had a set of novatron lights with umbrellas and gave them to Megan. Really nice lights and use the flash sync to fire, fully adjustable voltage and time on the lights. I got them about ten years ago and they were about 1500 then. No telling what they run these days.

Love these kinda shots 2 being my fav but see what you mean about the lighting..
Did you have the 2 hot lights aimed at the base of the glass wit a fill bouncing off the background?
I would love to see the set up..
I am not tech savvy enough for this but have you ever checked out Stopshot?
