Re: What portable lighting equipment do you use when your shoot portraits outside stu
Yongnuo YN10800 & YN900C Bi-Color LED Panels (with a bunch of NP-F Sony-style rechargeable batteries) usually adapted to various circa 1980s Photoflex Lightdomes/Softboxes (#293 my favorite) mounted on even older Lowel light stands. Never need AC outlets and the softboxes relatively easy to set up and take down. Also using them now more and more to shoot video. Replaced my Dynalight system which too many times had to also lug along a Honda generator.

Want to use DC power and do one person portraits in general. Thanks.

This can be merely a cheap painters light just over the lens to fill in shadows and even out the subject... And not so bright as to overpower the ambient lights...

Thanks for everyone's reply! Are there any hand-held LED lights available?
Re: What portable lighting equipment do you use when your shoot portraits outside stu
Yes, but are they going to be bright enough?
Re: What portable lighting equipment do you use when your shoot portraits outside stu
I may also buy this as it's very quiet, key start and can run more things.
Don't wait they are selling. I need it more for winter power outages to run my furnace fridge and 2 little led

I also plan to convert my generators to both propane and natural gas.
A transfer box is also needed.

At what typical working apertures?
EDIT: And with what sorts of light modifiers, if any?

800 lumens is roughly the same output as a 60W incandescent bulb, so...
Yongnuo YN900 LED 100% output is 7200 lumens or about 540 incandescent watts
Yongnuo YN10800 LED 100% output is 10800 lumens or about 820 incandescent watts
