It's 90º spread, a whopping 343 lumens for such a little thing (I think the ebay/chinese, even the big 500 and 1000 led panels, are only 500-1000 lumens respectively, yet soo large; maybe because of the old cheap round t3 LEDs) and also a nice warm 4200k and also uses SMD ...I know it's not made for photography, but it has all the aforesaid, and 90º would work nice through or reflecting with an umbrella I think.
H600FW:
343 lumens (3692 lux)
90º beam spread
4200k (a nice bridge between daylight and tungsten; nice and warm. And color accurate)
CRI (color repro index/color quality): 85-90
Better SMD type leds made by Cree
2x gaff-taped together: 686 lumens (7384 lux)
Fotodiox/ebay/chinese/bi-color ED panels:
144as: 219 lumens (2354 lux)
209as: 367 lumens (3950 lux)
312as: 611 lumens (6580 lux)
508as: 790 lumens (8500 lux)
All:
60º beam spread (more spotty and narrower than the H600FW)
2600-5600k (but it is reviewed/proven as inaccurate and actually colder by 500k, and also al have green-tinge/hue)
CRI: 82 (but proven to be false advertised)
Crap leds, chinese quality, false advertised color accuracy and CRI
[also, keep in mind that these "bi-color" lights can only reach their full output levels when Both tungsten AND daylight LEDs are ON, only when the temp-setting is in the middle; at either full-tungsten or full-daylight, cut these lumen and lux data in HALF, as only half of the LED's are actually ON at full daylight or tungsten settings.]
And of course, the mighty nice and high-quality Cineroid:
2 versions (tungsten and daylight):
3000k version: 325 lumens (3500 lux)
5400k version: 380 lumens (4090 lux)
120º spread (the widest ever, but expensive)
CRI: 90-95 (best, but expensive)
Better SMD type leds
I have a feeling the Zebralight will be my next consumer purchase
Uses 2 Cree XML US LEDs
A whopping 2000 lumens!
5600k (accurate and no green-tinge, since it uses SMD/Cree leds and not cheap round t1 led's)
80º
CRI 92
Has a dimmer
Aluminum housing and metal hotshoe plate (no cheap clastic)
Sony camcorder batteries (F750 lasts 75mins, F960 110mins)
Includes everything
...what do you think? Seems like a good light. Actually just found it today when I searched "cree video light" on ebay.
EDIT:
n/m...I saw some bad reviews that the rear plastic battery holder and also battery melted from the heat. As well as falsely advertised CRI, watt output, lumens and it also has a nasty yellow/blue/green halo-edge light fall off. Typical cheap ebay chinese product. I'll stick with the Zebralight
