Product Description
These 500 LED video panel uses the 500 ultra bright, 5500K LED's and has an equivalent output of 500 watts of incandescent light yet draws about 100 watts. The 5500K daylight balanced LEDs offer a full spectrum, beautifully soft light.LED lights off significantly further "throw" than a comparable fluorescent light. This is because each of the 500 LED lights has a 30 degree beam angle lens that directs light forward. This beam angle creates a beam pattern that is useful from 1 - 15 feet.LED lights are ideal for location work because they are virtually shockproof and offer the brightest light in the smallest form factor.

These are the same LED panels you see everywhere. In fact, my wasn't advertised as a Fancier, but it has the Fancier name on it. I assume these are all made in China, and various companies sell the same panels.The build quality is OK. The barn doors seem useful, and they are billed as folding down to protect the LEDs. However, they really don't fold down well. They are not staggered so the thickness isn't taken into account. And the bare barndoors will rest right on top of the LEDs. One whack, and you are now missing LEDs.I use the foam padding to insert between the barndoors and the lights for protection. Ideally, they would provide a thick foam that would nestle in and around the LEDs to make sure they can survive flights and the baggage handlers.Oh, did I mention there is exactly zero diffusion screens over these? The LEDs are just exposed. This is worse than a LED flashlight. At least there, there is a plastic disk covering the lights. Don't like that.A dimmer isn't really necessary. That adds $50 or so to the cost. The bank of four switches gives enough control, and you can move the light stand in or out as needed. 12 volt operation would be nice, but that adds about $90 to the price.The best thing about these are the cool operation, the low wattage used, and the fact that they are relatively cheap. They could be a lot better, but if you want more, you have to pay at least double the cost and get a name brand. Oh, the Litepanel LEDs are just wonderful. Everything you'd want in a LED light. But, they are about 1600. Ouch!Recommended. I like the light it gives out. Tungsten is great, and is cheap, but boy is it hot!Update: It's been months since I bought two of these lights, and I want to report on my experience. First of all, the lights continue to work well. I helped shoot an award-winning short, 'The Break-up' in Sacramento, using these lights. The director and the DP (director of photography) raved about how cool the lights were, how diffuse the light was, and how good the characters looked. These LED lights have the reputation of having a 'green spike' somewhat like fluorescent lights, but any good editing program can take care of that with no problem.The build quality is fine. I shopped around and found some Arriba bags which are padded and fit fine to protect the lights. They go up easily, attach to light stands with no problem, and work out of the box with no problems at all.BTW, I used a smaller set of LED lights (160 LED model) to stand in for passing car headlights in another award-winning short I worked on, 'The Watering Hole'.These LED lights are slowly but surely taking over the film industry, from small indie films I work on, to major studio films. It's the wave of the future.Also, the prices have fallen about 20% since I purchased these, making these even better bargains.Based on all of this, I've bumped my rating up to four-and-a-half stars.Update months later: These lights are performing well and I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on the color and how cool they are. These are a winner and I don't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

This is far too preliminary to carry any weight but I can't help myself. Because these units were very inexpensive I was expecting them to look and feel somewhat "cheap." They don't at all! They're actually quite heavy; all metal - solid and substantial. They were well packed and protected by plastic bags and film. The directions were funny (translated by the Chinese manufacturer I think) but contained what little information I needed to know before throwing the first switch. Every LED in both units lit brightly and I was pleased with the throw and the adjustability gained from the four LED banks switches.This unit may have been redesigned since the review above. The barn doors close fine when the foam shipping protector is removed. They don't shut as flatly with the foam left in but I agree with the other reviewer that the LEDs are quite exposed, so I'm leaving the shipping foam in place during transport.The mounting is very clever. The mount fits nicely on a standard 5/8" stud. There's an adjustment lever to allow the units to tilt in one plane. The mount attaches to the light using, what I would describe as, a big, beefy version of a hot shoe mount with a square plate on the end of a bolt, locking with a very large thumbwheel. The clever part is the square plate can be slid into a channel on any one of the four sides. And, it can slide almost the whole length of each side. Very, very versatile! I'll update this review when I've had more experience with the units and they've gotten some miles on them.

I purchased one of these in October 2010 and it's been on lots of shoots with me. Quick set up. Runs cool. Low power consumption. What's not to like? I like to clothes pin some frost gel on the barn doors for a softer light. At 200 bucks this is a steal. I can have 8 of these for the price of a litepanel.
