    LED Flashlight for Night Photoshooting

    Fashion for types of LEDs for photography / video are constantly changing. Hot at the moment are the LED lights by Aladdin. They have this really cool little light with an internal battery rechargeable by USB. CRI of 95, dimming down to 5%. Daylight or Tungsten version (not BiColour)...

    The World’s Most Powerful Single Searchlight Unit

    I didn't read all the posts in this thread, but are you running a HMI open faced? Please say you are not. Also if you like this sort of thing, check out the LightningStrikes 200K PAR, 250K Linear or the 100K SoftSun for cool massive output lights. Now those things put out a heap of light...

    TubeVN - Best Keychain Light (Must Have)

    Is it just the high level that is modded? Is the lowest level still as low?

    What's the BEST Budget 500 Lumen Light??

    Quality on the really cheap lights is pretty hit and miss. My experience is that you are better off paying just a little more to get a much better product. I've had good service and good product from shiningbeam.com Blaze X for $27 with CPF discount is amazing value.

    I just got three Blaze X delivered. Really great lights. Great quality, amazing value. 100% recommended.

    How Low Low-mode do you like? What do you use it for?

    The really low mode on my Zebralights is good as an alternative to trits. I can set it down at night and easily find it. I wish all my lights had this.

    Latest King of High CRI?

    I don't like warm lights at all. Ideally for me, I'd like 5600 degrees Kelvin i.e. photographic daylight. Sounds like I should be looking for something with a Nichia 219. Maybe a Peak LED Mule is for me.

    Latest King of High CRI?

    What is the latest king of High CRI. Is there something out there better than the Zebralight H502d?

    This light sounds amazing. Just when you think there is no more innovation in Flashlights. Well done Zebralight guys! I will definitely purchase.

    rec for ultralight traveler

    Photon ReX. You must try this light to fully appreciate how cool it is. For lightweight travel, everything else suggested here is kind of heavy.
