Fluorescent would give around 5,000-10,000hrs but LED normally gives around 50,000hrs. Running cooler as they convert around 90 percent of the energy consumed into light as opposed to tungsten lights where most of the energy is converted into heat making the shooting environment a lot more comfortable for your subject.

Strong and silent!
I do videos, mostly interviews, round table talks and panel discussions.
As the LED100B MKIII has an inbuilt fan I was a bit sceptical about the noise because users of the predecessor model had reported about an unpleasant sound level while doing videos. But to my surprise I can say: no reason to worry, this new redesigned model is silent even if you run the light at 100 percent output level for hours! Great!
As expected the light quality is impeccable. I use the LED100B MKIII together with a 120 cm octagonal umbrella softbox which produces a fantastic soft and even light - perfect for my needs.
My short conclusion: if you need a powerful quality light for video purpose get the LED100B MKIII and have fun!

The LED100D MKIII is everything that you loved about the LED100D MKII, but with improved specifications and updated features, making it a must have item.
When it comes to Continuous studio lighting, many photographers/videographers are looking for a high-quality lighting option, but don’t want to have to spend obscene amount of money whilst doing it. In this blog, we discuss two of the newest LED Lights available on the market, the PIXAPRO LED100D MKIII and the Aputure 120DII, to see which one suits best.
The Led 100B Mark III is a chip on board bi-colour LED light with a LUX rating of 11,000 at 1m and a CRI of 95 plus. This light is in direct competition with the 120 D Mark II from Aputure and I think it offers quite a bit more for your money.
When it comes to continuous lighting, LED lighting is the best option to choose. So, making sure you have the right LED Light to meet your requirements is a must. In this Blog, we take a look out our range of LED Lighting heads, the LED100D MKIII, LED100B MKIII, LED200B MKIII and the LED S300D, and see how these compare to each other.
