Light for the HMC-150:
Hello,
What type of light are people using to mount on their HCM-150? I would like to add one for interviews and indoor scenarios. Thanks, Simon |
The Zylight Z-90 is one of the top LED lights.
For indoor only use, there are lots of tungsten balanced lights that work well. |
Torch LED. It works great and blows the lite panels away.
|
The Comer 1800 is a great LED light. The 900 is pretty good if you're looking for compact form, but it doesn't have a dimmer like the 1800. Both are a great value IMO.
|
I second the vote for the Comer 1800. I used it on my HMC-40 during my cruise last week. It allowed me to get great shots in a dimly lit ballroom filled with nearly 300 Halloween-costumed revelers. The dimmer is invaluable too, for tweaking the light for fill or full illumination.

Wow!
These are VERY expensive. I had no idea these miniature lights are so expensive. Is there anything worth buying for under $100 dollars? Thanks, Simon |
Bescor Lights?
Are any of these lights from Bescor worth buying?

Okay,
I will check it out. thanks, Simon |
Not trying to start an argument here Simon, but you spent roughly $3,200 on a camera to help you acquire better than average images. Why, then, go low budget on lighting that - at best - will provide suboptimal output and quality of light? My thought is do the best to help your camera do its best.
There are several good options between the budget lights and higher priced models. You'd be better served to save for one of the mid ranged lights than to 'spend and regret' on the less expensive ones. |
Hi Mark,
I agree with you but TELL that to my wife. :) The torchLED looks like a good compromise. Simon |
Understood. I'm in the same boat, Simon. My motto: " 'tis better to seek forgiveness than ask permission " ;-)

For an inexpensive first camera light, I would get an inexpensive tungsten light. This Bescor light is good for the $60 price tag. Bescor | KLK-36 Light Battery Kit | KLK36 | B&H Photo Video I would stay away from any of the LED lights that are not 3200K tungsten balanced or switchable between 3200 & 5600K. Keep reading and researching on event lighting to determine how to achieve proper lighting and white/color balance. The light forum on here is excellent. Edit: The Bescor LED lights are total garbage, don't even think about it. |
Best deal going and you can connect several together.
