You would probably be better off creating your own torch with wood and fuel soaked rags than that thing.

I know this is somewhat off topic, but why can't you guys simply say "I can't afford it" or "It's not in the budget" rather than blaming your wives for not "allowing" you to purchase equipment?

It's a bit demoralizing as a professional woman to have to read that crap. Not all of us are shrews, you know.

[Mark L. Whalen]

Sorry Sherri. No offense intended.

[Simon Zimmer]

Sorry Sherri. You are right.

It was a bad joke.

I will be more careful in the future.

Ouch! hehe!

Okay, I will keep looking then. hehehe!

Maybe saving up enough money for for a Comer 900 makes sense.

Not being mean, but there is no way Sherri is married, she has the "unmarried" comprehension of the marriage dynamic.

A couple of years with the old ball & chain will straighten out the perspective that you can make decisions on your own.

I have a few clients using the Switronix TL50 and they seem pretty happy with it for the price range.

Tapeworks Texas Inc is a DVinfo Sponser and we are a Switronix Dealer.

Switronix TL-50 30w Dimmerable LED Light Fixture 5600k Includes TLB11 Battery, Charger, Carry Pouch and Filter Set(Clear, Frosted, 3200k)
Tapeworks Price: $249.00 + Freight.
If ordered through Tapeworks Texas Inc, this item would dropship straight from Switronix located in NY, so Freight fees to MD would only be about $10.00

Please contact us Toll Free 866-827-3489 if you would like additional information or if I can assist further.

For $200 to $300 price range, Comer 900 would be a great choice. It's 900 lux at 1 meter compared to other lights at 320lux at 1 meter.

It's 4500K color temperature makes it ready to be used indoor. Other LED lights are 5600K day light color temperature which a orange gel is needed to make it to be used indoor. Using any filter further reduces the brightness. Another advantage of Comer is it is diffused by default. Other lights will shoot a circular hot spot in the video.
