Anyone use Outsight Creamsource Micro+ Bender light?

[Tim Miller]

I was looking around for a small key light for talking head shoots and this little light came up.

Here is the cut sheet, it's a PDF.

The CRI isn't crazy high (greater than 90), which is fine but what I'm interested in is the output. On the low end at 3200k, 3m, it's 7,650 lx/720 fc!

Maybe I live a sheltered life, but that seems like a lot for a light thats 8.7" x 8.1" x 4.1" in size.

Anyone ever use this light or any Outsight? I can't find any demos online except NAB 2017 video and B&H folks have supposedly never had anyone ask about it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: Reading some more I guess it's a pretty spot beam angle of 13 degrees, so that plays a part for the output level but still it's pretty high.

In Australia the larger creamsource panels are hugely popular. The micro looks like a great little light, although I doubt many people will be using it as their key light.

I would agree with that. I guess I'm comparing the Outsight to the Aputure Light Storm LS 1c that I currently have.

It's a narrow beam 80 watt LED light with a CRI between 90 - 95 depending on the color temperature set. It looks like great little light, but you would need some sort of diffusion to make that 13 degree light spread wider.

There are a few "drop in" lenses you can get with varying angles.
