Litepanels are great and all...but WAY OVERPRICED. Check out this website, wwwDOT it-photovideo DOTcom. You can also google them, "Intellytech." They sell lights just like Litepanels but are so much less expensive and are actually brighter!!! They have extremely accurate color temperatures and are very lightweight and durable. I bought the Socanland and CamLight lights and LOVE THEM!!!

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN DUDE, FUCK

@tylerpomeroy You could buy a few of the cheap camera mounted ones and strap them together I guess. Nowhere near that price...probably cost you $200 or so.

Litepanel = ripoff
go to ebay and grab the same stuff for fraction of the price.

Dont you just hate it when people say "Degrees Kelvin" instead of Kelvins.....NO DEGREES , Degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius NOT KELVIN...nuff said.....If you are talking about colour Temprature then its JUST KELVIN...... OK.......... 5600 Kelvin
6500 Kelvin and so on NOT DEGREES..........get it....? have i said it enough time now?

these lights are great IF you are George Lucas or have won the Lottery,for the rest of us....... we will have to wait another 25 years for the price to drop.

Power LEDs have better efficiency than those 5mm type

However the price of these lights is simply ridiculous. In the UK the 1x1 Series retails between £1500 - 2300£ depending the model. A bag of 1000 hi quality LEDs costs roughly £100. This is a shameless rip-off. For lighting a set properly one might need several litepanels which can easily go over £10k! As you put it: we really are not stupid! They're just some f***ing lights.
For this price i'll stick with my "heavy awkward" lights and pay for the extra energy consumption :)

The guy is Litepanels expert not a lighting expert. I assume he works for litepanels hence the use of the term "our products".
Here's something else cool about Litepanels: color temperature is unaltered throughout the entire dimming spectrum...that's actually a pretty big deal.
And on a side note: I still love HMIs and will always continue to use them, but Litepanels sure do travel better!
