I am looking to get a light to mount on my (soon coming) DVX100. Are there any inexpensive lights that work pretty good? Any suggestions?

In my search of previous postings, I saw that our all-knowing and kind leader, President Jarred, was able to make a light. However, I would probably not fair as well in a quest to MacGyver a light together, so I will probably want to stick to buying one.

Thanks for your help! ::)

Well, I'm a new DVX user, but the kit I put together worked rather nicely. I ended up going with a Lowel ID light and a Cool-Lux beltpack 12v battery. The light was on for about 4 to 5 hours and the battery pack only came off the "full" LED light by one out of 6 notches. The "D" in this product refers to the fact that it has a dimmer built onto it. Mounts in the DVX light shoe very nicely.

Variable light, variable throw, filters, barn doors, etc. Not the cheapest out there, but a great performer.

Oh, and did I mention... after those 4 hours were up the case was not hot!

I just got my Summer issue of the B&H catalog and there is a whole page with on board lights that could work with the camera from $49 up to about $350. Most of them have barn doors and some have separate battery packs.

Long Life is needed.
