Professional LED panels are really expensive! Like $300+ expensive! In this video we will make a 900 LED panel for less than $50. There is a catch though to the price tag: most of the components are sourced overseas and can take up to several weeks to come in. For me, that wasn't a problem though, as I wasn't in a rush to get my lights. Just plan accordingly :)

This Panel will have three key features:
1. Voltage Dimming - better than your standard pulse width modulated because it doesn't flicker. Pulsed LED's will cause your stop motion or high speed photography/video flicker.
2. 360 Degree Tiltable Panel - I wanted a panel that could tilt up and down for more dynamic and customizable lighting setups.
3. Lighting Tripod Mount - This will fit in with your existing lighting setup by having the same tripod head mount as your standard light.
