Portable LED Light (DIY)

Post by jnh »

Don't get around to shooting much these days, just have a bit time here and there to tinker around with my rig (a fun pursuit in itself). A while ago, I made these LED lights based on Charles' design and they were attached to my rig. So recently I made them portable with a 12V SLA battery and a step-up power supply (12 -> 26V) sandwiched between two metal plates on top of which sits a magnetic base with a Fisso arm and the LED light.

Somewhat to my dismay I recently learned of the Lume Cubes, which do much of what these do in much smaller and lighter package...

excellent, had I not bought several LEDs, I'd try to build the same.
