Re: LOVE them LED lights!

The white LED lights are quite good for lighting pictures without colour distortion. The "warm white" make for a cozier atmosphere though - must be genetic memory passed on from the ancestors sitting around their fires...

I found they're not great for lighting fast video, though. I was experimenting with the 100/200 fps mode on my camera and came up with the bright (haha) idea to use an LED light, which resulted in a recording where some frames were lit, and others were dark. It was funny, but also a hint that I need to think about how to light any fast video. Probably add a couple of big capacitors that are rated to the high voltage this stuff runs on..
