But there are often situations where a bit of additional light can lift the image or reduce harsh shadows. I am not a great fan of on-board camera lights but there are now several contenders that can produce a usable amount of controllable light, such as the futuristic looking Dadolight Ledzilla reviewed by Colin Riddle in the November issue. And of course you do not have to use them 'on' the camera. Choosing the right light or lights for a particular job can be difficult. There are almost too many out there to choose from. So when it comes to buying your own kit you need to think carefully about what you are going to use the light for. There is no universal light that will cover all situations!
Simple 50w tungsten lamp The best light I have for indoor use, in terms something with a bit more oomph as well as of uniform light quality and wide spread with control. plenty of brightness, is a very simple 12v Now comparing lights is not straight-forward. halogen light which I bought over 25 years ago First of all they can have their relative along with a large lead-acid battery pack.

And if that is not sufficient confusion, PAG LED - Flood (max) LED lights on the other hand are daylight manufacturers will normally quote the light balanced so you don't need a filter to use intensity of the concentrated 'spot' beam if them outside, which is where you need the the light can be focussed in that way.

You also need to decide whether you wish light to be concentrated into a hot spot to gain the light to be self powered with an on-board PAG LED - Spot (max) a longer throw - and some are now dimmable. battery or whether you wish to power it from But you have to be cautious.

Relative brightness and spread of lights 14 Institute Of Videography | Focus Magazine | January 2013 taken with same camera settings A REVIEW OF THE PAG CAMERA LIGHT | PRODUCT REVIEW and how flexible you need the light to be to On Test surrounded by a dimmer beam almost as cover various situations. And what about size, large as the flood beam. I did notice that if The first thing I do with any new piece of kit, cost, durability and how will it complement you knock the rear LED unit, the spot can be no matter how simple, is to test it out and see any lights and batteries you may already own? displaced slightly off centre, and if nudged how it performs. So I first set the PAG light up I have to say, I also have a preference to buy in the flood position it can produce a slightly on a tripod 2m in front of a white wall in a dark British if possible. brighter area within the wide beam. This was room on full power. The flood setting produced not really a problem in practice and can be a fairly even spread of light with a diameter of So how does the PAG LED shape up? The first quickly corrected by gently pushing the LED over 2m, since the beam angle is 62 degrees at thing that strikes you when opening the box is unit up to the back of the lamp housing. that this is certainly no toy. That should come this setting. The centre of the beam appeared as no surprise since PAG have been making to be just a tad darker, with a slightly brighter LED lights generally are difficult to flag. Their on-board camera lights and batteries for news arc further out but this can be balanced with a light seems to have the ability to go round crews for over 30 years. It is a solid, well made slight tweak of the flood-spot lever. Pulling the corners ! This is especially true of the multi LED piece of kit about 14cm long (including the unit to full 'spot' (22 degrees) produced a more arrays, whereas with a single LED system the LED unit) and about 6.5cm square, supported intense central beam 45-60cm in diameter, scatter is considerably reduced. The PAG uses on a stout column which attaches to a 'power base' shoe fitted with whatever plug lead you specify. You can mount the shoe permanently on your camcorder if you wish and slip the light unit on and off as you need it. This combination lifts the lamp unit about 6cm above your camera mount. There is a strong 5cm long lever which slackens the vertical pivot so that the lamp can be angled down by 15 degrees for close shots or tilted almost vertically upwards so that you can bounce light off the ceiling. The unit with the LED back and accessory kit weighs about 490g and is made from a virtually indestructible heat-resistant engineering polymer.
The LED unit drives a 'one point' light source which is actually made up of four emitters in a single unit, behind an acrylic lens. The whole unit can easily be removed simply by pushing a catch and withdrawing it from the lamp housing. So if you wish you can quickly and easily replace the LED unit with a halogen bulb holder or even a PowerArc unit, which will deliver 100 watt equivalent daylight from a 31 watt lamp - although the latter is very expensive. The LED unit is more efficient and can produce a daylight beam equivalent to a 50 watt tungsten halogen bulb from an 11w lamp. The centre of the hot spot beam on the current LED model now has a brightness of 900 lux at 2m - which, using the inverse square law, would be equivalent to around 3600 lux at 1m !
The light beam can easily be adjusted from flood to 'hot spot' with a simple lever (there is one on each side of the lamp housing) and the brightness can be controlled by a small knob on the back of the LED unit, cleverly designed so that you can make adjustments with your thumb - no finger fiddling necessary.
I also bought the optional filter kit which consists of a daylight-to-tungsten conversion filter, a diffuser and 2 barn doors, mounted on a rotatable ring, which attaches firmly to the front of the light. The filter and diffuser are high quality glass. The barn doors are black anodised aluminium and the mount is made from a rugged compound like the lamp housing. All very well engineered and finished.

Outside, the PAG colour temperature helps to make skin tones look more natural on a dull overcast day - adding a bit of sunshine ! And it is fine for reducing harsh shadows on an interviewee's face on a sunny day provided that the light is fairly close (1m - 1.25m) to the subject.
