    Price is the killer. Since I dropped one of my expensive LED light panels in the water and don't want to fork out a ton of money to replace it, I am making my own LED flex lights using LED strips. The strips are rated at 95+CRI and for $200 Cdn, I have all the parts I need to make two 1'x1' light panels. The DIY lights that I am making are bi-color simply by using two different color temperature LED strips and two separate pulse with modulators. Thanks to Matt at DIY Perks for the instructional video.

    TLCI is a better way of measuring color accuracy. CRI is only relevant when looking at the light in real life. TLCI is how the camera itself sees the light.

    Great video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Piyason Videographic Ventures (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one off product for creating your own viral video without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my close friend Aubrey at very last got amazing results with it.

    Way brighter than Intellytech. The 1x1 Westcott is 2200 LUX and the 2x2 Intellytech is 903 LUX. You get more than twice the output with the Westcotts and 1/4 the size.

    Flicker depends on the power supply, not on the LED itself. AC power produces flickering. Poor quality AC/DC adapters produce some flickering. A pure DC (or battery packs you are using) cannot produce flickering because that is pure DC. Its not LEDs that matter here. And, yes, CRI is important.
