AaronChicago Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I have Flolight 220 and Kinoflo diva. Flolight is pretty much on par with kinoflo. The only thing i like better about kinoflo is the ballhead mount for quick angle turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bioskop.Inc Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Has anyone tried/used the KIck light yet? http://riftlabs.com/kick/ Not ideal, but looks like it could be a good small portable device to use - anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That costs more than a 600LED panel with ten times the output, plus some gels. You could buy three small 300 LED panels for that and some gels. The iOS control is the novelty that you're paying for, but if someone really needs a wirelessly controlled tiny light that does any colour, i suppose it's cool. Personally i no longer use anything that demands iOS, because Apple are fickle and like to discontinue things. You can't discontinue plastic gels or white lights.

I don't have an iPhone, so its a non-starter for me & it was really curiosity. I need something that's good & portable - for when natural light just shits on your day!

jgharding Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Three recommendations: Led Z Mini Par, about 500 for two. Tiny portable, punchy, weigh nothing. Not cheap though... http://www.led-z.com/minipar.htm Then the cheap portable and bright ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yongnuo-YN-300-LED-Video-Light-Lamp-Camera-DV-Camcorder-Canon-Nikon-Control-/181042232654?pt=UK_Camera_Video_Lights&hash=item2a26f53d4e and this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Polaroid-312-Ultra-High-Powered-Super-Bright-LED-Camera-Camcorder-Video-Light-/161308549577?pt=UK_Photography_DigitalCamAccess_RL&hash=item258ebd21c9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mini par's look the business & small too, but i think your 2 for £500 is a little off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Punk Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Has anyone tried/used the KIck light yet? http://riftlabs.com/kick/ Not ideal, but looks like it could be a good small portable device to use - anyone? I picked up a dirt cheap one on ebay. It flickers on anything higher than 1/50 shutter when on less than 100% power constant output and battery life is not great (only charges whilst USB power connected) The lens array and multi colour LED's inside causes multiple shadows unless heavily diffused. It's a shame - as it had so much promise, but it fell at the final hurdle it seems. Cheap materials make for a squeaky plastic feeling product. Saying that, it works for what I bought it for. I use it for interactive effects lighting for effects work- such as gunshot/lightning flashes of actors faces/eyes etc. you can select decay on flash times to avoid rolling shutter, and it's size can be put anywhere. But I would never use it as a fill or kick light. P.s - Plasma lights are the next thing, they will blow LED fixtures away when out on the market and prices settle down.

As JG pointed out, the whole iPhone thing made me wince a little. What's the price you've found? Like £800 for 2 (1 retails for $600) & google only came up with one retailer in uk. http://www.prolightdirect.co.uk/ledz-mini-par-dual-kit-627.html They do look the business though & would have saved me a few times recently, but some bigish reflectors would have too!

OzNimbus Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'm a big fan of vintage fresnels... Mole Richardson, Ltm Pepper, Arri, etc. Rock solid reliable. Hot as hell, though. And not so great with a BlackMagic pocket, as it's horribly susceptible to ir pollution. Caused some wtf? Moments with skin tones. Ir cut filter can help. Built some diy-kino flo type lights. Cheap, cool to the touch, and no dicking around with diffusers. Not very much fun to source hi cri bulbs in Canada, though. I can transport a pair in a keyboard gig bag. Bit of a pain to mount on light stands. Look amazing on camera. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Does anyone know of cheap option for single, portable, battery powered tube style lights? Basically a battery powered fluro tube fixture that could be stuck on walls etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucian Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hey folks, I am looking to use some hardware store fluro 24 inch fluro t8 ballasts, with film quality bulbs. Only issue is, all 24 inch lights are hardwire. Does anyone have any experience wiring these to a plug? is it hard? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
