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. Go to the "On-Camera" Section to find lights like the panels shown in this video.

The guys overseas making the Z96 are laughing at this and so is the consumer. I've had the Lite Panels light and after so many years, Its hard to believe that it's still above 300.00. How can they justify this cost of an LED light? I have since done away with my LP's and paid 1/2 the cost on other options.

I've had Litepanels micro and I just received the Chinese version for at least 10 times cheaper. It is not only cheaper but it has twice as much LED's, unlike litepanels you can use different batteries from video cameras, not only AA's, also Chinese version is built much better, way better. Litepanels micro is total crap - very flimsy and batteries keep popping out, unless you put some tape over the lid, which is ridiculous. Unlike overpriced LP it comes with stand, hard filters.

Or you can get them for $49 shipped on ebay for a 126 led panel that functions exactly the same. So you can get 10 ebay panels for cheaper than these.

You get what you pay for. I bought one of the cheaper led lights on Ebay and believe me it is cheaper in quality. LED lights aren't uniform in brightness and the whole package that you get is just cheap. I regret not spending the money to get good stuff in the first place and now will have to after wasting money on the cheap stuff. Common business logic, you cannot get quality for cheap because who is in business to go bankrupt?

I was just looking around for a bright light for my point and shoot still and video camera to shoot some stuff in the dark. I bet they are great lights to film in complete darkness but wow, way over my budget at $500. I could probably make one brighter then LED's for a few £.
