There ARE led lights out there that can compete quite nicely with a 10w HID, but from what I've seen, there is nothing that is actually in the same price range as the light canon that can compete. (currently) Prices will come down eventually, but the sweet LED can lights that hold their own against 10w HID lights are, at this point, still a LOT more expensive than the light cannon. They're priced in can light territory.

If you read everthing in this thread, I think you'll see that the Oxycheq Raider I light is very comparable to the light from a light cannon. And they are coming out with a mount that will allow it to be used hands free. It basically will mount to the top of the hand similar to a can light, but without the cord. |
I've seen the Raider in use... it's about a 200 lumen light - it's not all that bright - it is focused and does not spread out much at all, but does have a nice white hot spot in the middle - it is almost identical to my work light which is a 225 lumen Cree emitter... it is not comparable to a light cannon (got to use one this past weekend) |
The last thing I want to do is have a Deco Stop, light meter, car salesman analysis, scientific debate over how close or not close the beams are. I based my comments on looking at the video. To me (and I'm only speaking for myself) the beams look comparable in the video. The OP of this thread was looking for options. I think this is a viable option.
