A cheap light that attached to a hotshoe, any ideas if it's worth it? Looks well made. Anyone have one?

A 48in LED panel sounds awesome!

The 48 LED panel you linked doesnt look like anything special. At 2.9w dont expect too much, maybe something equivalent to about 15w of tungsten. The minus-green filter in the picture makes me think its probably got a lot of green in it.

This probably isnt that helpful to you since I havent used that light :)

LED prices are coming down but you've got to go up a bit http://cgi.ebay.com/160-LED-Video-photo-Light-for-DV-Camcorder-Lighting-pro_W0QQitemZ280609317728QQcategoryZ43440QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26 its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D110648464497%26ps%3D63% 26clkid%3D7167105228579003401 You'll need the gels.

Cheers.

I actually just bought it, I'll let you all know how it works!

It works very good, I have a few of 160's, a bit green, but for the price is OK. one NP-F550 gives you over 2 Hrs. non stop

awesome :)
