Specifically, this one: http://www.adorama.com/LPAMICROPROH.html?utm_source=&utm_medium=Others&utm_...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They are durable, provide consistent light and use very little power.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Good build quality and the seller has great customer service. I paid about $65 each for mine but it looks like demand has driven the price up a bit. They are powered by AA's or a Sony L battery.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It usually stays on my modular belt system I use it so much. portable, cool, and long-lasting light. mine is 18 months old. It's Not too powerful and highly specular!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Strapped to a video camera it gives some light but if you use it for much more than a fill the quality of the light is pretty nasty. I had one on review from a magazine. For stills, off camera in relatively low light it was interesting but I was happy to give it back.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I wasn't overly impressed. I rented mine from the local Calumet. You may want to check the Calumet in NYC and see if the have one to rent before you buy.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

By the time you throw any kind of diffuser on it the output really becomes minimal. Just my 2 cents for what I was doing.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I don't have much need for the flash version though. I wanted to get the larger version but they are pricey. Here is a good alternative that was recommended at a filmmaking workshop I attended. http://www.coollights.biz/clled600-panel-dimmable-p-114.html Road Rags silks are a cool and quick way to diffuse them http://www.msegrip.com/mse.php?show=products&cat=439  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I have one and though it is handy, it often exhibits banding in the camera, changing with the dimmer and shutter speed. It can kill a shot with rolling bands.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
