I'm a filmmaker, and I'm looking for a light that doesn't seem to exist yet, but certainly should (at least at an entry-level pricepoint). I want a small, battery powered LED with a focusable zoom head on it- to go from flood to spot. It should also have some dimming capability. Ideally the bulb would be 5600K color temp and 90+CRI, but I don't think that's possible quite yet...
So I've been digging around a little, and it looks like this light:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-CREE-Q...djustable-Focus-Zoom-Light-Lamp-/160798194195
is dirt cheap, and already has a functional zoom lens built in.
I'm wondering is there a way I can swap out the bulb for something with daylight color temp (as close to 5600k as possible) and as high CRI as possible?
If so, what would that bulb be, where could I get it, etc.
I'm even open to replacing the electronics entirely if that's what it takes.
Any thoughts or ideas are welcome, tell me what you think. If I'm going about this wrong, let me know that too, as I'm a beginner here.
