I'm intrigued, any recommendations?
- LeifCarrotson 3y agoI am currently using a Fovitec Bicolor 650 LED panel - it was cheap and I am cheap. I replaced the power supply with a higher-wattage unit because it flickered at max power, that might be enough to make me not recommend it but it works for me. I previously used some adhesive LED strip lights on a 24x24 plate of aluminum. If DIY electronics are your aesthetic, go for it!

- alright2565 3y agoI personally use a 28600lm, 2ft, 220W linear bay light from superbrightleds.com for $130. The CRI is only 80+, but I personally don't think I can tell the difference. Like the other poster, I am cheap, but like actually cheap in that I made a spreadsheet to get the greatest lumens/$. I wouldn't suggest going brighter though, 30klm is already bright enough I can't look at the light directly and need to bounce it off the walls for comfort. The cat doesn't seem to mind though: https://i.imgur.com/aTegmqR.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/aTegmqR.mp4
- Scene_Cast2 3y agoI use a 600W Godox M600BI, it's great. I found that 200-300W is about the optimum from a dollars per high quality lumen perspective. The SmallRig COB lights are great if you can get them at a discount.
