    Cheap LED Lights

    Does anyone have any experience of these lights or similar?:

    I would mainly use it for little table-top set-ups which I currently illuminate by a combination of window light, off-camera flash and torches but this seems to offer a fairly cheap but reasonably consistent and controllable light source. Any thoughts?

    I only know one guy that bought one and he wast that impressed, but saying that he was using them as a cheaper set up to a ring flash - so long as your setting up on a tripod and don't need the power but just a light source then I would say they offer an option

      I have one of these, used a few times for my models but I get lazy setting it up




      The sides are translucent so spread the light, don't use the tripod as its a bit light, the lights do get quite hot. And it cheaper than the other you posted, read the reviews.
