[Michael Munkittrick] “And by the way, if you’re interested in giving these a test drive in return for an honest evaluation, yours is an opinion that I feel confident with as considering honest. Your reputation is well respected on the lighting and DP sets and knowing that you’re a straight shooter, I would be most interested in your personal thoughts. I’m in the process of assembling a demo video for them that will include a pretty good assortment of specs in real world use. I’ve also got a new, actually I should say incredible new dolly that will be like nothing that came before it…and that project is getting a lot of my attention right now because of the nature of competition and getting to market first. Being that the dolly will cause heads to turn in larger numbers, and the lights, while very interesting on their own, will garner more media coverage thereby making the fact that the lights are created under the same banner more of an interesting issue.”

Thanks for the kind words and I would be certainly interested in testing your products and offering honest opinions and constructive comments. Feel free to contact me offlist at mitchgross {{{{at}}}} aol.

Well deserved, I assure you.

I’ll try to shoot you a private email soon. The holidays are obviously a pretty bumpy time to spend more than a few minutes sitting still, what with Grandma running for the bathroom and my daughters death defying “tree art” which threatens to burn the house down…not to mention the fact that I have clients barking orders left and right as well.

I just bought a LED1000 from Prompterpeople.I tested it but it is green and not colourcorrect.The specs on their website say that it’s 5600k but it’s 5300k.You can not use it as a keylight.

it was a nice try but at the and it’s Chinese wannabe rubbish..

Mark,
I would be happy to find your rubbish bin and take these off your hands as these LED are IMO a wonderful new tool. I have 3-LED 500’s and my units meter out with my Minolta color meter very favorable, the color temp is 5900 kelin needing only a small 1/8 – 1/4 minus green correction that affectively brings the kelin temp down to 5600. I believe you should reconsider these units or send my an email so I can take them off of your hands. In the 90’s when Kino flo’s where hot I was Gaffing the Profiler and had over 50 Kino’s on one set, I felt like a color meter maid as these units would heat up and change color and need various corrections battling to keep them color constant. The LED 500 are very color constant and correcting any source is apart of lighting. Before you trash this lamp think about how rewarding it actually is to have a heatless daylight, affordable, compact low power consumption lamp to work with.

Good Luck

Ofcourse it’s nice gear to work with,the LED’s.I use it with a V-mount at the back so I have a very quick keylight on a battery for 3 hours.With the Litepanels you have very beautiful white light but my LED1000 is really green.I have to ajust it with a full magenta wich costs me almost half of the light so then it’s a LED600…

Fortunately I heard from Chuck (Flolight) that they are working on the LED’s and they changed the specifications on their website.
