Lishuai 508AS LED light

I had posted this in the wrong place. Vitaly asked me to move to it's own post.

You can get this 508 LED light from the deals: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/717/special-deals-led-lighting-and-lcd-camera-monitors

It seems to be the big brother of the popular 312. It came with a nice bag with two layers of padding; accessories go in the bottom and are held in by elastic straps, then a padding lay closes over them. Put the light in and another padded layer protects it. It also came with to np750 style batteries and dual charger, like the 312, as well as mains cables and a nice mini ballhead:

So far, the only negative is the extremely thin diffuser. It might be thicker than a business card, but just barely. The Z96's diffuser makes this look like tracing paper. Plus the darn thing does not fit in the bag. Seems like it was an after thought. I'll have to find something to replace the thing with:

I haven't done any real testing with it. It is a little blue, but could easily be gelled. A custom diffuser would make that easier.

Here is my small theater with no light:

And here it is with the 508 at full brightness:

Drinking and Driving PSA

Here's a little PSA we were working on for the past couple months. Shot it 1080 but uploaded at 720 since most people who watch this aren't going to blow it up to full screen and pixel peep like we do! :) It was a fun little project and I know where the weak spots are. Damn you LCW ND filter and rolling shutter!!!! Anyways, hope you like it.

Q&A about LED lights

Since Vitaliy reasonably doesn't want to pollute the LED special deals threads with questions about the gear, I think it's worth starting a thread for people to ask questions and provide answers about various LED lights.

(Please feel free to close this thread Vitaliy if you think it's too broad or you prefer PM method. I just think it might be good to have a shared information pool for people looking into LEDs.)

So I'll start: I got a 312AS light from our special deals thread, and I like it. I'm looking to possibly purchase the 508 (don't have one yet). But I notice that the 508 costs more than two of the 312AS. So I'm wondering if putting together two 312s will give you the same or more power than one 508? I know that it is very convenient to have one light with more power than putting together two separate lights. But I'm curious about the overall power between the two lights.
