[jramos]

Hellos everyone!

I'm looking to get an LED hair light for interview.
Right now Im using the Lowel ViP Pro-Light for hair light.
I would like to get and LED light that produces as mush light at the Lowel ViP Pro-Light.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

These are 2 that I have used for hair/rim lights.
The CRI is good - no green spike at all.
The smaller one is usually enough - the bigger one will always be enough.
Both are dimmable of course, and both will run on Sony NP 970/770 type batteries.
The big one is remote controllable for when you have the light mounted up high out of reach.

Thanks for the quick reply! I have the Aputure Amaran but I was looking for something more spot light and smaller.
I usually set the light on a small boom light stand and I don't want to use any weight to hold it boom in place.

Thanks again!

I have a Dedolight DLH4 which works good but if I was buying now I may consider the Fiilex P360ex for it's ability to run on batteries, bi-color, light weight, and not being hot (since I spend a lot of time adjusting a hair light while the talent is seated and waiting not having to worry about gloves would speed up the process).

New to the circles since that topic is the Kinotehnik Practilite 602, which would be my first choice, except that it's not released yet. It was originally slated for a July release and now it's August with no word, so I hope the product doesn't just turn into something that never materializes, as it looked great to me. Dude, for just $690 you get remote control dimming from your smart phone, with remote control of the beam angle, and remote control variable color temperature, and good CRI. How many times have I walked back and forth from my monitor to the hair light during an interview setup to adjust the brightness of the light. Oh my gosh. Remote control. Count me in!

I'm having trouble with the links in my quote above. Here are the names of those lights so you can look them up.

Oh yeah! That Practilite 602 is the SHIZNIT....if you can meet the price tag.

I had the first version for hair light and it worked well as it had a more spotted throw. Needs to be diffused because it creates strange shadows otherwise - but most leds need to be diffused anyways.

edit:
comes with a battery (F-970 with 6600 mAh)

If you want a soft light LED rather than a hard light you may consider the Cineo Matchbox. Hadn't thought of using it as a hair light before but I bet it'd work quite well as a soft hair light without the need to add additional diffusion like you would need to do with the TorchLED listed above.
