Well, first off, my bad: it's Jarred, not Jerred!
Secondly; any light that originates from a small surface area is perceived as VERY bright by human eyes, and some have criticized these tiny LEDs for being somewhat unpleasant for the talent/subject to look at; i.e. it strains their eyes.
The advantage of our current LED lights is that they are spread out over a larger area, and we ship out color correcting gel, AS WELL as "Light Tough Rolux" diffusion by Rosco Laboratories Inc. to make best use of our lights, especially for car applications, etc.
Works like a charm, and we also offer suction cups and vacuum cups; we tested the vacuum cups on a melamine wall and it held a small camcorder for over 100 hours!!
So, in summary: having a SUPER bright light originating from a TINY surface can be "stressful" if you are the one in front of the cam looking at the light. We have not had negative feedback from our lights in this regard, but the Lamina 1x1" LED engine is just WAY too powerful without proper diffusion.
Hope this helps...I could go on...
