Re: LED obsession - Indie kit?
 

Search 12v battery pack on ebay and you'll find lots of lithium ion or NiMH packs from 4Ah up to 10Ah for $25-90. A $20 charger designed for toy cars works. Much lighter and cheaper than other options, just have to figure how to make the connections yourself.

Check out the LED panels from ephotoinc.com which happens to be located in the same building as www.LEDwholesalers.com

They sell LED panels readymade into litepanels type enclosures for just a few times the panel cost rather than the litepanels markup. I own their LED 1200's but also the led 600 and 900 are similar and think they offer tremendous value. I would only buy those models because their CRI seems better than their others.
