LED Spot?

gorillaonabike · Apr 22, 2016

So... no idea about spots. So would you please recommend me an LED spotlight. Looking for something super light and all my gear is moving to LEDs so an LED it is.

Am also looking for something under $500 USD including stand and happy to buy used.

I want to be able to either light in a blackout or alternatively put a bit of light where I need it. What are your recommendations?

I use DIY LEDs. When I want to narrow it I use cinefoil.
I think it was about $100 for my 100 watt LED (650 watt equivalent) but surely it doesn't look as professional behind the scenes.

Just bought this kit. Comes with 2 wide and 1 spot, stands, 2 batteries, electric cable, and carrying case for each light. The light acts as its own charger.

The spot isn't super concentrated. It has a 25 degree spread, the wides are 75 degrees.

I think they make one bigger as well.

I've used THESE LIGHTS. Not too bad but since they are so inexpensive
you get what you pay for. They aren't very durable but quite usable.
