Ultra Bright LED Circular Panel
Mediacentric comments and is wondering what's your experience with these Circular LED Video Light panels? They are available in 276 LEDs, 380 LEDs
, 645 LEDs
, & 1144 LEDs
. The back of the units appear to have a simple ON/OFF switch and what also looks to be a dimmer knob. [Update] Only one model has dimmer. For others, it's just a fuse. Some images also show a diffuser sock to help soften up some of that direct LED lighting. If you've got the scoop, leave a comment. Otherwise all of these lights can be found below.

I could be mistaken, but to warm these guys up (they are like Cloudy temp) you'd need a bit of CT orange Rosco E-Colour #223 1/8 CT Orange (21x24" Sheet)

Bought one a few months ago, 645 model, for the price, it's good. No dimmer, I use diffusion and scrims, so not a big deal, bought it for a lot of illumination and low power draw, so no dimmer works for me. Is it not a rugged design, so pack it well, but being very light weight flys at the end of a boom arm well. If the 1100 unit were not $300, I would buy another unit, but the 645 is a good value for the light output.

I contacted ephoto and they basically advised me not to buy one. I asked about comparable light output and why they didn't use a 4 pin XLR connector and this was the response:
"The 100o led is better you could tell by the price difference. One is metal casing one is plastic"

Post author@bill - Don't think these output as much light as the square panels. Might not be great.

Would love to see a demo of one before buying

@ Mickey Jones because they are very cheep i question them. But i guess no barn doors and possibly no way to control light output this is a appropriate price.

"defiantly want to hear some feedback on this."
Why so rebellious?
I too would like to hear follow-up about the shoe-mount LED lights.

How many watts you think the 1144's really put out?

I was at the store that sells these about a week ago and they had a pretty bad color tint. (I can't quite remember if it was purple or green) The guy that runs the photo department didn't seem too stoked off them. I guess if you don't mind custom white balance but that could then throw off all your other lights.
Just something to consider.

I believe that is a fuse socket and not a dimmer knob on the back of those lights. Also, according to the specs the color temp is 6000k...standard color temp for that range would be 5600k.

I some times use my SAD lamp as it is set meant t o be set to daylight temperature, and because I already have it. I am not sure what you think to this but I have noticed banding.

Not to be a choosy begger AND slightly off topic, but have you come to an opinion on the yongnuo vs Z96 comparison?

Hi emm,
unfortunatly it's not a knob but a fuse...
Garrick
Wow so cheep, defiantly want to hear some feedback on this.

The one model is dimmable . but not all one them .
Adam
If your zoom in on the photo on amazon its not a dimmer it is a fuse.
