Yongnuo YN-140 LED adjustable color

as ive mentioned a few times in the last few days - the MAJOR drawback of multi/adjustable/variable color LED lights is that at either extreme (daylight or tungsten) you are only using HALF of the available LEDs. so you are getting HALF as much light potential for your dollar. and the fact that many of the adjustable color LEDs are more expensive than their single color counterparts just adds insult to injury.

not to say that variable LEDs arent cool. or often very handy. i have two of the ikan iLED144s myself and use them frequently:

but if you are on a significantly limited budget (as many people in these discussions often are), its FAR more advantageous to simply get a single color (usually daylight) and gel with a variety of stepped filters to achieve the alternate color on an as needed basis...

though i guess, at the price of the unit the OP supplied - who cares. if it works for two shoots it pays for itself ; )
