LED Lights

[Waldemar]

Seems like every time I visit the hardware store I find at least three or four new variations of LED lights.  Spotted one today, the headband variety, with a big reflector, adjustable beam spread, and a wireless dimmer ... all for $50.  Makes me wonder how useful any these new products would be as on camera lights.  I passed on the chance to experiment today.  I'm wondering if any readers here have done some experimentation with led lighting.

Ya know, we had some posts here about a year back on this same issue.  As I recall, a couple of guys were going to buy a cheapie led set and give it a try, but I don't know if they ever posted their results.

My mistake - it was two years ago -

Many boards seem to be recommending the Comer 1800.  I have not used it personally, but I am certainly looking at it.  It's a lot more money than the one you are looking at though.   If you do find a cheaper (current model) that works well, I'd like to hear about it too.

(sorry, I realize posting a link to another forum might be a no no. Hank, let me know if I shouldn't do this...)

No problem.  Info is info and the purpose of this board (and this entire site) is info to help wedding / event videographers - no matter where that info may lie.
