    EcoSmart LED 18W Par 30 (Or Par38) 5K bulb is your answer. Find a basic photographer`s or any decent standard socket light. It`s impressed me with how well it shows defects.

    Might try this awesome build, but so far that bulb is awesome! Looking at 1100+ lumen alternatives. For the money of a bulb (30-40) it far outbeats buying a sun gun or have a different setup.

    Re: 3600 Lumens LED stand build

    I was loving this idea and thinking of giving it a shot, but a lot of bad reviews for those floodlights on home depot

    to the OP - any problems or still functioning ok?

    not sure if I should fab something like this or maybe some photography solutions using bulbs from this thread

    With over 800hrs no problems. These are taken with me mobile also so they get jarred around. Plus I built the set up so the lights are not altered and can be taken back under warranty. Stand is unaltered too and uses existing hardware.
    I have similar outside (on the house) and have had issues but only during ice.

    Looking good Andrew. They are bright but not over the top to miss things.

    Can`t wait to see what the big dogs say. The energy/heat reduction is worth it for LED!
