Video light

[devilla101]

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get these.

I'm looking for the tungsten/halogen version and the ones on ebay are the LED version.

Plus I need it to run on batteries for portabllity

Ron there are hundreds of different video lights available, do you have a specific job that you need the lights for?

[devilla101]

Yes, light up a dance floor.

I saw this videographer using somethng similar. It was nice warm color and not cool and blinding as LED.

Plus for outside work.

The colour is going to be up to you and what type of gel you use.

No idea.... but then I guess that sometimes you get what you pay for..

Further to my reply above, becarefull what you get. I would regard the Dragon gear as the cheaper end of the market so any cheaper (Ebay direct chineese copies) you will really suffer. Lights over heat and become dangerous to you and your guests, cables frey easily and battery life suffers not to mention some of them are real heavy to compensate for their ineffiecencies. A good on camera video light will be $400~600.

Hi Ron,
I just received my LOWEL ID light from B&H and I got a Bescor Battery - (heavy sucker but it gives me 4 hours at 50w and 1.8 at 100w).
We could organise a small group and go out night shooting with a model with it if you want to see it in action - I'd also love a few plays before I use it at weddings.
