I did a quick review of the 312 ASZ LED compared against the brightness levels of the Z96 and CH-600HS LED's. Enjoy.

nicholas-

nice going on a thoughtful demo.

thank you for the effort.

where did you get the CH-600HS?

again, thanks.

Rob you can get the 600 on eBay, they also go under ePhoto. The 600 is a very useful & portable light source. I permanently leave on the included minus green filter and gel for tungsten over the minus green filter, this gives it a nice white color. These LED's have a slight green tint, you will see it in the 312 as well on the tungsten end. The 312 is a very bright light at 4200K, the 600 will always be my go to light but the 312 is perfect for on camera when you need lots of light.

Thanks for your review and comparisons I am looking at getting two of the 312 lights as a portable LED set-up.

Do you have any further remarks regarding the battery life on the two that are supplied?

I think the non colour balance version will be better for me as they give the full light output and I will be using them as daylight fills most of the time, I did think about a 600 panel as I have v-lik batteries but two 312's would give me more flexibility and the option of just using one light in tight set-ups.
