Let's talk lighting
Nikon1:
If you could find a cheap way to Power and Cool those 500W LED-Chips, it might be a realy cheap way of getting Tons of Light:

I have not tried those one yet myself.
But i Have a Giant Heatsink Lying around, which could take 2000 to 3000W for sure.
My Plan was to buy four of those LED´s for a Total of 2000W LED-Power.
Because we have 230V here in Germany i wanted to use some easy circut with an transformer to boost the Voltage from the Wall a bit up to 280V and build an simple Current-Regulator.
That would give me a portable, passive cooled 2000W LED-Lamp for around 300€, because i have the Heatsink, an Transformer and most of the other stuff already lying around here.
If i want to use the Lamp for Longer at a time, i maybe need to add a Fan then.

Anyone tried these lights. I hope it doesn't flicker

I am planing to buy two of these lights in additional to my Godox. Yes I only do macro shots and hopefully it works ok
Fyodor:
That's a very interesting light! It can be battery powered, and there is a great bundle on amazon.de that includes two lights and stands and four batteries and loaders. I think'll give that a try, because I needed battery powered lights anyway.
But I start to feel an urgent need for an aluminum crate to carry all that stuff by now...

Look at the power consumption - 40W @12-15V. That's not going to be a bright enough light for our needs.
It's maybe similar output to the Godox LED500.
I've got a Godox LED1000 and I don't find it much use for high speed work other than maybe using it as a weak fill-in.
CS223:
Wanted to chime in and keep the info in one thread. I bought a couple of the StratusLED V2 units with the parabolic reflectors. Made a quick measurement with a no name light meter for a general idea: @1M 60,000 Lux, @2M 17,000 Lux, @3M 7000 Lux, @4M 4000 Lux, I rounded down. Didn’t have a second connector to wire them both up. Going to work on a simple housing and mount idea next.
And per another thread, David said to figure on 7 Lux per FPS as a rough calculation. I’m a little curious as to the relationship to shutter speed as well.
