hi Phil,

Care to share your thoughts on the Godox 170 LED light?, eg is it (or similar led lights) any good?

i was looking at one £40 that needs 8 aa batteries, but other power options seem to be available but no details on where to get those (eg) a single rechargeable battery or external power

regards

Jim

If they are "any good" depends on your needs. I find them reliable and sturdy with a good, even light. I use mine with 8 rechargeable AA batteries (works very well indeed), but also have a external power supply if needed. Since it accepts anything from 6-12V input it shouldn't be too complicated to find one.

It also accepts standard Sony video rechargeable batteries like NP-F970 (and also probably the smaller ones with the same layout) that are also readily available.

All in all a versatile light, I have to say.

Phil

Thanks Phil, it seems to be working for you, as my last indoor stack with available natural light was 5 secs per shot I might be giving this a try
