I notice that LEDs are available in white. I recall a time when they were solely red, green or amber.
I also notice people on ebay in China selling packs of 100 5mm white LEDs for about $10. Has anybody tried to build lighting from LEDs?
My only experience of LEDs is the darkroom safelight I built from red LEDs some years ago. It was pretty dim and did the job well. I think LEDs are brighter now.
I do notice that B&H sells LED studio lighting panels. They're horrendously expensive though.
Would the results be good for LEDs if one were to build LED lighting for small product photos? I can see an LED panel would be great to place underneath bottles etc.
