Kino Flo alternative / On-camera lighting
 

Hi there everyone.

I know there's a few posts on the subject, but I need direct hints for my case from someone who actually uses it.

I'm looking at Kino Flo alternatives, because I can't really afford the real thing.

What's the main difference if there's one? Quality, of course, but what else?

I'm trying to build a 3 unit kit to cover every situations, not too sure what type of fluo to get.

I'm also into photography, so, fluo is really a plus for me because I need a cheap way to produce very soft light.

And finally, I need a on-camera lighting solution. I've looked at MicroBeam, LitePanels and others, I'm not too sure what to get.

Also, I don't want to pay 800$ for a on-camera light.

Thanks :)

'nuff said.

Hrm.. thanks..

When they say 2x55w, it means that it's a 2 bank that draws 110w or that produces 110w?

What would be a open face equivalent?

"...this fixture can put out an equivalent of almost 500 (tungsten) watts of flicker-free and quiet light for drawing only 110 actual watts."

(From the description on the Cool Lights web page).

Damn, alright, thanks!

Cool Lights vs Flo Lights..

anyone tested them face to face?
