Quality video light
This is the second one I bought. I always like to have a back-up. Works great at wedding receptions. I like the fact that you can set the color balance. Some weddings might be in a tent in the summertime - by setting the color balance I have a nice balance to my video in the foreground as well as the background. It's also a very sturdy light. I once dropped it about 6 ft. on to a tile floor. It continues to work perfectly. The battery makes the light a little top-heavy when mounted to your c...

High intensity & focused throw = winner
Owning this light won't make you a better filmmaker. Or will it? It's made me a better one, because now it's so easy to do the right thing – add that rim light, dial in that fill, tweak that color temp – that I'm actually doing it, instead of thinking about it. Having a Bolt in your bag arms you with a powerful light that delivers on the promise that LED lighting has been whispering for years: cool light when you need it, where you need it, no cords attached.
The Switronix TorchLED Bolt On-Camera LED Light is a 200W-equivalent light for attaching to the top of your camera - or (likely via an adapter) to a light stand for use as a "sun gun" on a set or on location. The 16-LED light is powerful enough to use as a fill light outdoors. The TorchLED features a brightness and throw (40-50') that put it in the range of halogen lights.
If it has a free Powertap output, you can use your existing 14.4V DC brick-style battery for powering this light - a Powertap cable is included. Alternatively, the TorchLED Bolt accepts a Sony L-Series-style battery to supply the needed power. Though it puts out the equivalent of 200W incandescent light, it draws just 22W at maximum light output. At 4100K, which is a blend of full 3000K and 6000K light, the illumination is 3800 lux at 3.3' (1 m).
