Nice little light

[Tim Sewell]

Just picked up one of these - super cheap, gives you at least a couple of stops at 1-2 metres. I'll get my iPhone colour meter thingy on it during the week and report back, but through the camera set to a daylight WB I can't pick up any green issues visually: https://www.amazon.co.uk/VILTROX-L132T-Dimmable-Panasonic-Camcorders/dp/B01L8XQMVS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1489958988&sr=8-3&keywords=viltrox&th=1

Also just ordered a couple of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Andoer-SC-406-Temperature-Filters-Camcorder/dp/B01K9W9G94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489957681&sr=8-1&keywords=sc-406&th=1 - after seeing this:

I have a smaller version of the Viltrox (just bought it when they were really rare, a couple of years ago or a bit more), and even though there isn't any CRI measurement on the box, the quality of light is very good and rendered useless all my previous cheap LEDs, collecting dust on some drawer or closet.

Cheap LED tech has gone quite far. Chinese manufacturers are doing great stuff for all of us, and they are innovative too, not like 15 years ago that only copying things. Well done China!

I also just bought a couple of the 406, because, why not?!

Good point. Was late (for me - 3 kids needing bedtimes) and I was full of cider.

It's okay, the more the merrier - which is I just double posted.
