After an LED Light to mess around with to get some light on my shots.
Does the light in the link above look ok?

warren.

It depends on what you’re using it for, it’s no replacement for a flash setup, that’s video lighting for lighting interviews etc. But I suppose it could be used for light painting if it runs on batteries.

So say I wanted to take some pics of my car at night.
What lighting stuff would I need?
ive got a Canon 600D.

Well, you could use this to light paint (have a google search if you don’t know what I’m on about) or you could buy some flashes, which is the more expensive and (IMO) better option. But I’d just buy a decent LED torch and try some light painting at first

Get some speedlights and wireless triggers. But as mentioned, led lights are for video, not stills.

Cheers guys.

This was done with £1200 worth of wireless Speedlite flashes:

This was done with a £30 eBay LED video light, 120 LEDs so smaller than the one in your link:

This way is more labour intensive - you'll need to move the light around the car a bit at a time while the camera shutter is open, then you'll need to stitch together the different exposures in Photoshop or the like.

If you're only wanting to light static objects then I'd try the video light first. Either method will give you much better results than either of the above with a bit of practice, but I think the LED light painting method gives nicer results.

It is looking nice. Its color and shape is also looking pretty at this time.
