Forgive me if this information is here, but I can not find much of anything on the Microlite Pro. I need a small on camera lighting solution for wedding receptions. I just do not know if this light will be bright enough. If you have any experience with this light please share. Thanks!
 
I use (and love!) the VidLed LED lights. www.vidled.com

I've used the LitePanels, and I prefer the VidLed. Much more durable, and I LOVE the battery life (I usually get 4-5+ hours out of mine)
 
For the price it costs, LP Micro is really not worth it. Even the SWIT S2010 is much brighter than LP Micro.
 
I have an LP Micro (not the Pro), as well as Comer 900 and 1800 lights. IMHO Comer 1800 is a better investment for on camera LED lighting - and it gets longer run time with a large battery pack. The Comer 900 is great for tight spaces, but the 1800 can light broader areas at a greater distance.

I've got the LP Micro PRO, and I love it. Best thing about it for me is that it runs on AA batteries, so I don't have to carry yet another charger and battery system. It puts out good, even light.
 
I just checked the specifications

LP Micro = 280 lux at 1.2m (5600K)
LP MicroPro = 560 lux at 1.2m (5600K)
TorchLED 50 = 320 lux at 1m (5600K)
Comer 900 = 900 lux at 1m (4500K)
Comer 1800 = 1800 lux at 1m (4500K)

Having daylight 5600K used indoor makes the color output very blue. So you need to apply a gel filter so it's closer to tungsten light. However, adding any filter or gel will also lower the brightness.

Thanks Taky!
 
Hey Taky, nice seeing you here again!... we just did a concert a week ago, and the comer 1800 saved the day. we were mixing 4 cameras live and playing it back on a big screen, all of the shots from the audience needed to have a light (there was no light on them other than a comer 1800) and am talking a good size venue. and sure enough the light delivered.

there were other cameras with LED lights (from other people covering the event) some were using the LP MicroPro, and some those cheap 50 dollar lights (the stackable ones from ebay) and the comer out-shine them BY A LOT!... we even set one up on a light stand so our mixer guy could see the controls, since they drop all the lights (That light ran at it's lowest settings since that was all tha was needed)

So far I'm happy with my purchase, love my two !800's (I would jump all over the 900 if it was dimmable)

Micropro is what my friend has. The TL-50 blows it away.
 
hey superfreasa66, I'm so glad to hear about your positive experience with the light. I also now mount a light on stand at reception. Just love the light coming from a different angle creating a more dynamic look of the image.

More over, the hotel ballroom was almost completely dark. My light actually make the dance floor looks like a stage. Then when I turn around the light stand to the cake table, it creates a focal point in the ballroom too. :)
