Anyone can recommend me a budget and reliable on-camera light kit for xl1s? My budget was very tight, Approximated about USD 300. How about voltage if I purchase thru US, will it be compatible issue with my country voltage in Asia (230 Voltage)?

I thinking of purchase Bescor

Bescor
Price : $ 234.95

AK7 Dimmer Light and Battery Kit - Consists of: MPL635 Light, MM7XLR Battery, BC500 Charger, Barn Doors

or Smith-Victor SV840 Lighting Kit

Please advice me on this matter

Hi, I have that Bescor light. Not really happy with it because of the color temp changing when you're dimming down (it gets really yellow). I believe the NRG Varalux does a better job, for about the same price. It has a circuit that prevents the color shift.
