F&v z96 vs Neewer cn-160

[jwmachon]

Going to be starting some nightscape photography and was wondering what people's thoughts are on the neewer cn-160 compared to the dearer z96

Thanks

Hi and welcome to TP

Can i ask what is it you are anticipating lighting with those lights? Why, well neither is particularly bright @ 660lm and 880lu.....as a comparison AFAIK a 100w lightbulb is approx 1500lm, so the falloff of those LEDs would I think be quite marked!!!

It's just lighting foreground on long exposure on nightscape

I think it is most common to use a simple bright LED torch and use it to paint your subject. That's certainly what I do. If I need mor power, I paint with flash.
