model mayhem gallery Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 <p>I am looking for a good alternative for the 1'X1' litepanel. The one i want is the 5600K 1x1 which is almost $2000. The 3200K seems to be cheaper can get around $1600. can this be adjusted with a gel to make it 5600K so that it will match when used with my white Lighting X1600 AB AB800? Also, ho is the competitor anybody making a quality copy yet? I will be shooting both stills and video with a 5D Mark II.<br></p><p><br></p><p>Thanks<br></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sunley Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 <p>Unless your flashes are set at min power and are maybe 20 feet way, they will likely swamp the light output of an LED array that can only supply f4 at 4ft, iso 200 and approx 1/60 sec exposure. An 80B equiv gel will probably work, and likely cut the light output in half. You could gel your flashes to match the light panel, but the flashes will still likely overpower the led panel.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_christopher Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 <p>Yes. You can filter either source(continuous or flash) to match the other with filters(CTB or CTO.) </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
model mayhem gallery Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 <p>Actullay the litepanel LED arrays are very bright you can get them from 500watts up to 1000 watts in a 1'x1'x1" panel running on batteries. I also looked at Ari Fresnel lights but they pull too much power and flip the breakers in my studio. I am looking to replace my AB800 and Vagabon battery pack with a litepanel setup for outdoors so I can do both video and stills on the beach at sunset.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willhl Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 <p>Note that gelling any light will result in a loss of power output.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
