[QUOTE="Geza Kerecsenyi, post: 464215, member: 30185"] Hi, I am working on building a studio lighting setup, and as a backlight I wanted a very wide light bar. However, the cheapest actual one of these made for studio use were some $100 knockoff Kino Flo lights, but these were still quite small due to the 'cheap' price. However, (while this might sound strange) I found some relatively cheap LED bars made for trucks and 4x4's as work lights, but as these are made for plugging into engines, while obviously, I want to be able to plug it into a socket. I need this to be [I]very[/I] safe, as we have lots of high voltage and expensive lamps that cannot short circuit or break! Here is the light bar I found: [URL="https://www.ebay.com/itm/36inch-234W-LED-WORK-LIGHT-BAR-FLOOD-SPOT-COMBO-OFFROAD-Car-Boat-Truck-SUV-4X4WD/322279671047?hash=item4b095d8507:g:G3wAAOSwbmtZiq07&vxp=mtr"]https://www.ebay.com/itm/36inch-234W-LED-WORK-LIGHT-BAR-FLOOD-SPOT-COMBO-OFFROAD-Car-Boat-Truck-SUV-4X4WD/322279671047?hash=item4b095d8507:g:G3wAAOSwbmtZiq07&vxp=mtr[/URL] My budget for this light is $60, the light is ~$52, so I would need probably the cheapest option out there; however, I would probably rather break the budget than have something that sets off a fire alarm or short-circuits some $300 lights.
