I saw on one of the sites (DX?) that they had a $129 Palight with HID. Not a bad price compared to the $200-400 you see for some HID’s out there.
I’ve never had one, anyone here own an HID? Might satisfy my need for an incinerating torch…
Did you already buy something troop? Fall and darkness is coming soon enough and I too need a new toy :bigsmile: Manafont has the Palight BG-002 for 129,99$. Looks pretty decent to me. But how about these aliexpress random 1000000w hid lights? Cheaper and/or more watts but wondering about the quality. Not looking to spend over 130$ and even that is really stretching the budget, 100$ would be nice…
If you’re looking for long throw an eBay HID won’t get you very far. It throws far compared to current LED lights, but it’s the worst of all the HIDs, since the head is so small.
Here’s a link to my comparison of an ebay HID vs SK king.
Hi guys, much to my enjoyment my HID came in today. While I wait for darkness to envelop I’m just admiring the massive size of it.
First impressions:
- Not very heavy
- Very large
- When turned on, for the first few seconds the bulb changes colour from 4300k to 6000k and changes back and forth for about 5 seconds (came with a 6000k bulb).
- Build quality is quite good.
- Appears to be slightly brighter than my SkyRay King when shone against a wall, but I am yet to find out how far it throws.
