Well, we make and sell LED lights, and every now and then we buy this and that, to see what's out there. This one is neat, and should work for your application. It's no way a replacement for a Gekko lenslite or siimilar. But it's $14, shipped!
Robert86; it has a buy now. Just buy, pay, and receive.

No, it isn't "killer". It's semi-standard practice of Hong Kong (and some Chinese) sellers. They make the item's price extremely low, and the shipping & handling a little higher. It's a way to circumvent eBay's end-of-auction fees. Not completely 100% kosher, but there you have it.
It's the reason I listed the price incl. shipping. They could say the light is $12.00, and shipping is $2.00, it still makes it $14.00 to the buyer.
For $14.00 it's a neat light, basta.
True - when you look at it that way. For a $2.00 item, it seems a lot for shipping, but the item is probably worth more then that in reality. I am guessing you are using Hong Kong as an example because these are out of UK.
I just wonder what the colour temperature is of those lights - Vidled, do you know?

It's a cheap item. It's not great. It's not a Gekko. It's worth the 14 bucks.
Color is pretty decent. You willl find the same as with your search for LEDs though, and that is that not all the 24 LEDs are exactly the same color temps. They might be, but no guarantee. Maybe buy two, so you can mix & match.
