A Look At The Flolight Bladelight Linear Strip LED Video Lights

Silicon Valley based manufacturer Flolight has an interesting new line of LEDs which are both powerful and have a very wide throw. The good people from cheesycam recently published a video review of the Flolight Bladelight and demonstrating some of its capabilities.

If you are looking for a light which is both powerful and has a wide angle (and the ability to control the throw using barn doors and special attached diffusers. The Bladelight have a very densely packed COB LEDs in a strip setup – more similar to a monolight in a sense.

Here are some of the features of the Bladelight from the Flolight dedicated page:

BladeLight LED Strips are available in Daylight, Tungsten, and Green for use with a GreenScreen (with Bi-Color coming soon).
Pricing starts at around $500 (depending on the size/configuration).

We are currently unsure if these lights are 110v only or if they can work on 220v/240v as well, we are also unsure if you can use this with some sort of external power unit/battery.
