Litepanels Hilio?

March 20, 2014 forum topics
Has anybody used the Hilio lights?

I still use my Arri/Lowel tungstens quite a bit, and if I need daylight, my HMI’s, but I started using the Socanland LED’s from batteries 4 Broadcast. They are pretty good, and have a CRI of 90+, so that’s why I like them.

However, they are bi-colored and I was looking for an LED with a little more punch. I really like the Dracast litepanels, would the 1×1’s be enough as a key light for out door interviews if the subject was under a scrim jim with a silk?

Was looking at the 1000 series, seems like a 1K equivalent:

Seems like the Litepanels Hilio has more punch, seems like about 1500 lux more, but is it worth the money? Not sure about the CRI claims either.
