LP Micro able to light up the surrounding in darkness. FYI, in recent oversea trip, I am able to to light up the spot in a extreme low lighting cave. The temp of the light is around 5600k near to day light temperature. No colour balancing needed. Do a search in youtube, you will know more about the item.

I just received 3 lights today! Have to test them over the weekend but the litepanels micro is cool. Ha think I'll test it with a DSLR instead.
Anyway the other 2 lamps r pretty intesting. Looks like a Sony 2 bulb DW20 but with LEDs. Best thing it comes with a compatible battery all in one. Dunno how well it works thou.

hmm.. seems good. is the 4 "AA batteries lasting? continues on can last how long? hopes u dont mind i ask so many questions.. i am just curious with LED lighting n exploring into it.
btw u stay in CCK? me too..
Hi, the 4 AA batteries can last 2 hours for Alkalines and 8 hours for Lithium Ion (Re-chargeable ones). The batteries (Alkalines - supplied with the box) still running strong after 2hours of usage. It can also be AC powered, but have to purchase separately.
Need to empathesis further on LP Micro. The power output is roughly around 40-50W. So for near distance shoot (1-3m), the subject is well lit. For long distance shoot, you need to get the higher powered ones, like the LP 1X1 or miniplus (Extremely $$$). just imagine, LP Micro is a touchlight. I would normally used for small item product shoot, macro or half-body and head portrait shoot.
The package comes with tungstent, white and difuss filter. There is a filter holder in front the LP Micro to put the filters, but do take note they can be drop out easily. I would suggest you DIY the filters yourself with thicker materials. Anyway, I had the flexibility to find different color gels to create different color temperature to cut down the cost.
LP Micro is a highly flexible item. Though the item look plastic and can be easily damaged if mis-handled. The item is extremely light even with batteries. Besides, using it as flashguns, it can be used as touchlight and table lamp. :sweat:
Nice to know a CCK resident here. Maybe we can meet up at LOT 1 for coffee. I can bring along the Micro for you to test out. PM me.

Hold yr horses bros, I just completed a lighting test for 5 lights. 3 LED and 2 Tungsten. Interesting results but NO perfect winner. Would say the Digipro 80 and Sony LBP r my personal favourites. Lite Panel Micro is good BUT I tink more suitable for SLR.
Will get the review up next week.
