Lite panels miniplus daylight at DVinfo.net

Our lite panels mini plus daylight just died and we are looking for an on-camera replacement light ASAP. We found out that they don't make these anymore.

Our wants are:

--Mounts on camera
--D-tap option
--variable color temperature
--small battery options for off camera use
--at least as much through as the mini-plus
--softish light is a plus
--High CRI

Some of what we found that fits some of this are:

Cineroid L10VC
Switronix TorchLED Bolt 200R
Alphatron Tristar 4
Cineo Lighting Basic Matchbox

It's hard to distinguish these on paper and we've watched some online reviews, but I'm really interested in some real world experience or insights.

Thanks forum!
Michael

Have you looked at Zylight? It's definitely a professional kit. Variable CT and brightness. Throws whatever color you set it to (no gels). Remote control via a second light or remote controller. D-Tap using cable. Single LED light source instead of array of LED. Softbox accessory.
