Haven't used them, but I'd like to know how they work out that these are 95 Watts. Run time for 6 x 2600 mAh batteries is stated as 2.5 hours, so let's say current draw is 1000 mA (2.5 x 1000 = 2500 mAh). Power from battery is therefore 6 x 1.2 x 1A = 7.2 Watts. Two lights gives 14.4 watts. Maybe they are talking equivalent incandescent watts when they say 95 watts.

I've not used those particular but I have used LED light panels, very nice soft light and pretty versatile... good for beauty lighting, not so much for high key...

I haven't used these lights either but I've seen them on B&H. You can see the reviews for yourself here.

theyre not going to be strong enough for anything but product shots or head and shoulder interviews.

Same conclusion I came to.

What if you could put them together? Like this... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/4-Way-Hot-sh...=AU_Digital_Video_Cameras&hash=item20b865d3f4

would that give them more strenght?

am i right in thinking the issue with this type of light is that its good for close by objects but as for light throw they don't have much distance?

4 x 160LED = a 640 LED super panel :smile: probably would be good for the price even if they don't throw out much light into the distance.
