Everything is wrong about this light

By Joe
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2014-10-22

The previous reviewer has pointed out everything I wanted to share here. I also bought two of these and they lasted less than 6 months. they make strange noise and after few monites light goes out completely. apparently there is NO replacement LED lamp and I have to trash both of the units:- unit makes a hi pitch noise when ON- its intensity is hardly equal to 300watt- after being On for few hours, it starts flashing on and off.- Totally OFF color temprature.- B ready to burry it after 6 months of use.

Cheap, low power light

As another review indicated, this unit does not have a Fresnel lens, but the overall unit is a Fresnel style unit; the lens appears to be a plastic concave-plano lens probably with spherical curvature, and the spot from it can be adjusted from about 40-80. If you're using this without the diffuser, or without barn doors vignetting the spot, you'll notice yellow fringe around the squareish circle, I've seen the yellow fringe with other white LEDs due to the light having to travel through more phosphor at relatively oblique angles. You probably won't want that visible, so use some kind of modifier. With the diffuser on it's subtle, and the barn doors can knock it out as well. The barn doors don't open all the way (at least on my unit), but they mostly open enough. The unit comes with two diffusers, an orange one labeled with 3200k, and a clear one also labeled 3200k (they appear to be from the same mold). The orange one looks close to a full CTO gel. The color of the light through the clear diffuser has some magenta cast compared with a D65 calibrated monitor. The light output is probably closer to a 400-500W Tungsten equivalent (without the orange diffuser which will cut some power). On the plus side, the output power is adjustable (but the range is limited to about 3 stops). I got this unit because it was cheap, it shouldn't get as hot as tungsten, and because it looked like it might be able to run off a portable power supply like a vagabond mini. I got a chance to try it out on a shoot in light rain, and it did work, but I only got about half an hour of use still, better than nothing. I was hand holding the unit and though it was warm, it wasn't objectionable and I could use a gel sheet as a rain shield. I don't recommend shooting in the rain like that, but it worked that day. One last note: There's a sponge inside a ziplock bag inside the unit that should be pulled out before operation. The unit opens like other Fresnel style units (squeeze and swivel the top center section), but that's not documented in the manual. This is not a high quality unit in any measure (build, light, accuracy of description), but it is relativly cheap. If you've got the money or are serious, ARRI brand stuff is hard to beat for quality & durability.
