Difference between regular led spot and the led Arri light ?

There are two main differences: firstly, a regular spot LED has very harsh, undiffused light, while something like an ARRI panel is diffused and much softer and lighter. Also, a regular spot LED is less evenly distributed, as can be clearly seen in the picture with the two only spots where the light comes from, while the ARRI panel has constant light. Finally, and ARRI panel has a spread that is little more than the size of the actual board, compared to the regular spot which 'floods' instead.
However, one suggestion that can solve all these differences is by placing a diffuser some one meter in from of the regular spot LED which should be on a stool. I have tried this, and it spreads the light out, stops the excessive flood and softens the picture. Hope this helps.

It is the difference between a Mercedes-Benz truck and a Yugo.
The quality of the LEDs.
The ARRIFLEX uses very high quality tightly binned LED elements (do a web search for LED binning for an explanation of that), and spectral distribution, very likely has a better regulated internal power train, and the LEDs are not over driven, as opposed to the work light.
Designers of work lights don’t have to concern themselves with those criteria.
So if you care about the quality and consistency of the light , you go with the Arriflex.
there are also differences in beam pattern, hot spots, etc. but as the first responder pointed out, some diffusion in front of the work light will even that out.
