I'm interested in 312 LED so it's very interesting theme for me. For those who have 312 LED, could you make a photo with light at full brightness in reflected light? For example reflect 312 LED light from umbrella on wall. I need it cause I have light with narrow beam and I should reflect it to make wider and beauty. I need to compare power of lights. So please distance, iso, f-number, shutter speed.
I got the 2 pack deal 312s and love em!
Are there any adapters to get these to fit on Lowell light stands? (I think they're 3/8 but I could be wrong) I've got a Lowell 3 point light kit and would love to use those stands with these instead of a tripod. Any ideas?
It'll be close, I think.
Main idea with bi-colour led lights is to have them at mixed temperature at most important shots, as it significantly increases CRI.
@Jonathan_P enjoy playing around with them. You can also gang two 312s onto one speed ring if you use two L brackets together (again riveted, screwed or glued together in a sort of Z) to create enough height at top and bottom to fit two of them in. I use this configuration in my key (a Small box with Egg Crate) and then use a single one in my Fill (Medium box) and Backlight/Kicker (XS one). The big benefits, aside from battery powered operation and easily dimability without ballast is the coolness -- you don't melt interviewee, or the soft-boxes themselves, so you can use the ones for flashes and strobes which cost significantly less than those designed for anything that runs hot.
@Jonathan_P yep, photoflex softboxes, XS S or M all work. Use their plastic speed ring, rivet (or screw) a steel plate (the kind with 2 or four holes drilled already) to the plastic speed ring, then screw the 312 light in with a seperate screw and use the black screw fasteners that come with the 312 light to tighten in place.
Probably doesn't make sense but is very easy. Will snap a photo and post when I got it setup and am shooting with it again on Wednesday. Apologies for delayed response -- on vacation for two weeks.
Screen grabs of the first test with this setup (sorry for cross posting but figure better than referencing the thread where these are already posted, only to end up reposting in the end).
