Been spending a lot of time on here!
I haven't really thought too much about LED, are they better than cfls?
In theory they would seem attractive. In practice you'd have to talk to someone who knows first hand. I've only use flash and quartz.
I do know that LEDs are capable of dumping huge amounts of light. High end units are used in the film industry, even for slow motion work, but, I don't know how more affordable units would compare performance-wise and these units can cost several thousand dollars. Do you have any kind of budget in mind?
Some nice things about LED is that they're pretty much indestructible, some units can easily run on batteries and they generate very, very little heat.
