[QUOTE="Daz, post: 686951, member: 37228"] Thankyou :) So I work for Rotolight so I have a bit of a better idea of how they work lol They are an LED light first and foremost but it also can be a HSS, No recycle time flash as we can overpower the LED's for a split second and not damage them, this will give us the ability to get another stop of light out of them. These were actually taken in LED mode on 100% which means I didn't have to worry about sync times etc. I had the Rotolight NEO 2 behind a shoot through umbrella and then had a silver reflector below, see image below - [ATTACH=CONFIG]301594._xfImport[/ATTACH] On the fairy lights, I have never had an issue with the flicker from them at any frame rate, but I can see why that may be an issue. For the Rotolight products, they are completely flicker free :) The obvious advantage of the Constant light of the Rotolight is the shoot what you see scenario, I dont need to worry about flash etc. Also I can expose the camera for the model and as it isnt a harsh flash, the Fairy lights are still prominent :) The other part of it, because I was hosting a workshop I was able to use LED mode and get through people shooting without worrying about them having to have transmitters on the camera.
