Product Description

These 500 LED video panel uses the 500 ultra bright, 5500K LED's and has an equivalent output of 500 watts of incandescent light yet draws about 50 watts. The 5500K daylight balanced LEDs offer a full spectrum, beautifully soft light. LED lights off significantly further "throw" than a comparable fluorescent light. This is because each of the 500 LED lights has a 30 degree beam angle lens that directs light forward. This beam angle creates a beam pattern that is useful from 1 - 15 feet.LED lights are ideal for location work because they are virtually shockproof and offer the brightest light in the smallest form factor.

CowboyStudio 500 LED Ultra Bright Portable Video Photography Portrait Light Panel Review

I largely agree with the first reviewer but I wanted to add a few details. I knew from researching these lights that they would not put out anything like a 500 watt tungsten bulb would but for the video I'm doing it's not that much of a consideration. The put out more than enough light for the Canon 5D2 to function well. They do have a pronounced green spike, similar to florescents that can be pretty easily taken care of with a 1/4 to 1/2 minus green gel filter. Pretty cheap at the local movie supply house. If you have a local movie supply house. When shooting in controlled enviroments with no mixed lights and doing a custom white balance the quality of light is quite good. With mixed light you really will have to filter.

I always use them with a least a small amount of diffusion to unify the shadows and to cut the light collimation so that people's eyes don't get toasted.

My solution for the low output, especially when I am using them to shoot portrait photography, is to group them together behind a diffuser. A 3/4 stop diffusion panel is just right. I can get the panel pretty close to the sitter and put the lights a foot or so behind the panel and the light is just about like the light from a nice softbox. I've bought three of these units. One from Cowboy Studios, one from ePHoto Inc. and one from Fancier, all on Amazon. The lights are identical. Right down to the plastic wrap on the reflectors. Buy these based on price. Lowest price wins. With Amazon doing the fulfillment all the shipping and packing should be the same.

Do I like them? I have three of the 500's and have just ordered one of the 1000's. I think these things are the future of lighting. These models may be primitive but they are the stepping stones to a universal light source for people who shoot both stills and video. And they are cheap.
