NextWaveDV.com reviews the Linco Flora Fluorescent lights and puts them against some very expensive Kino's. (Hey, I get a shot out too!). Although not a true match against the Kino's, the Linco's seem to hold up very well through the tests. Looks like a solid design with a great output at a budget filmmaker price. Unlike cheaper FLO's, these Linco's seem to be more tolerant to higher shutter speeds with less banding. Keep in mind I believe they are testing at 1/1000ths shutter speed, which isn't something you'll be using with 'in studio' video.

Post author@Cory - I guess they changed something. I'll look into it later.

Very nice and informative video! Making me rethink using ANY tungsten lighting! Using LEDs as spots and Flora's as floods... makes you wonder!
But we all know a full range of lighting is a GOOD thing! Thanks, Emm

Are there any international (re)sellers?
