HJD Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Now it appears that there is a 200W version of the Pixapro LED available for preorder. I wonder if they will also release a plus (+) version which they name the versions which will run off both mains power and batteries. https://www.essentialphoto.co.uk/product/pixapro-led200d-daylight-balanced-led-studio-light/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 A 200W version sure would burn through batteries fast!! I did a search on Aliexpress for 200W LED:https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-200w-led.html?site=glo&g=y&SearchText=200w+led&needQuery=n&CatId=200002395&isrefine=y Godox has one:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Godox-SL-200W-200W-5600K-Studio-LED-Continuous-Photo-Video-Light-Lamp-wth-Remote/32731437426.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.18.r0Gi9v&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_2,searchweb201603_1&btsid=12e17e54-b6e9-4f2d-b0cc-e681d3fbd4b0 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Godox-SL-200W-200W-Photography-Light-White-Version-3300K-LCD-Panel-LED-Video-Lightling-Wireless-Control/32668943140.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.173.r0Gi9v&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_2,searchweb201603_1&btsid=12e17e54-b6e9-4f2d-b0cc-e681d3fbd4b0 Bunch of others there as well.

Hanriverprod Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Aputure COB 300d Comparable to 2k tungsten on a single source led. It's just a little longer than the 120d and takes two batteries. They said probably under a grand. Aputure Mini 20c - Bicolor Portable LED Light AaronChicago and IronFilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here in Korea. I need to import it but with the rate and the import tax and dealing with possible returns, I have to really need it to justify the cost and headache. On the bright side, living abroad has saved me some money. jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 That 300d is quite amazing. The amount of detail that they put into the lighting is astounding. Such as changing the pitch of 2 fans to keep it quieter. My entire lighting kit now is Aputure and Quasar Science.

Gregormannschaft Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Amateur hour question here: what are the benefits of a fresnel over an LED light panel? I've always worked with panels and found them super useful, especially bi-colour ones. So wondering why someone would opt for a fixed K value light over a bi-colour...? I'm gonna guess colour accuracy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjfan Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 @AaronChicago exactly which lights do you own? I'm looking to get some Aputure and Quasar lights. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always worked with panels and found them super useful, especially bi-colour ones. So wondering why someone would opt for a fixed K value light over a bi-colour...? I'm gonna guess colour accuracy? Yeah Accuracy, and the ability to have a lot narrower light beam. Also the Fresnel lens helps magnify the light just like a Lighthouse Fresnel does. So you can use a lower wattage lamp, bulb, LCD in them. And the good ones are built like a tank. Arri ones are for sure. You have to have in reality all kinds of light to cover making a top notch film. Even bare light bulbs. Lighting is not an easy thing to pull off. It does take a lot skill. And I hate, a Bunch of light stands. And the Bi Color ones are for high and low kelvin values. And you can get a bit of softer light on the darker yellowish LCDs compared to the clear or white ones.They are getting better and cheaper by the day. Heck some of the new ones you can just fold them up, who would have ever thought! Gregormannschaft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna guess colour accuracy? Fixed color temp will get you more light output at the same rated wattage. In bi-colors, half the leds are daylight and half are tungsten. So if you're at either daylight or tungsten, you're only getting half the potential light output. Even if all the led lights were going, fresnels would most likely offer superior light output, since there is a big reflector behind the lamp. Also fresnels offer much more controllable light. You can go from zoom to spot, whereas with panels, you're at a fixed, often wide, beam angle. Gregormannschaft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregormannschaft Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thanks @Kristoferman & @webrunner5, very helpful. I'd never thought about the bi-colours only being half and half, super obvious but I had never considered it. I'll make an investment into lights at some point and Aputure's stuff looks great, just got to work out what might make a good starter kit.

I think I would go for LCD panels for now, They are damn cheap, and for concentrated light you just get closer if you can, with a small LCD panel. Plus the fold able ones don't weigh anything! Sure have a couple of Fresnel spots is sort of a necessity though. Cheapest way to light is to go to Wal Mart and buy their 3x4" 2x3' what ever they have, white foam panels and bonce light with them, They are like 4 bucks each. They work wonders, beautiful effect, if the Wind isn't blowing like hell LoL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Aputure LS1s, and COB120t. Quasar Science: two 4' 5600K tubes, and two 4' 3000K tubes. Other than those I use an Arri 650, and a 6 x 6 diffusion screen.
