NAB 2014 Drew with Alzo Video talks about the upcoming additions to their popular High Intensity LED Video Lights. These lights are not using multiple standard plastic lensed diodes common with most flat panels adding additional benefits with this design.
The High Intensity LED can provide a true spot or flood with the optional fresnel lens and can be flagged using barn doors without multi-shadow issues. If you're a photographer who has worked with strobes, you'll notice the strobe-like design make this compatible with hundreds of light modifiers already available from softboxes, grids, snoots, strip boxes, dishes, and more.
Currently the Alzo 3000 (100 watt) High Intensity LED Video Light version is already available (found here), but in the near future they plan to offer a 50 watt, 200 watt, and 300 watt model. The 3300 model will be a very bright light, and may be better suited for a studio or to be hung from a ceiling. More information about these products can be found at https://AlzoVideo.com (here)

Given that I didn't hear any fan noise in the interview, I'm guessing the fan is in the power supply, not in the light head? I'm very interested in this light, starting a video shoot and this is inexpensive enough to just buy instead of renting big/expensive/noisy/hot lights from a rental house.
When are the 200w/300w units coming? Their site makes no mention of them. (I sent their customer service an e-mail, their site looks like it's a one-man shop which is kinda cool in its own right!)

I'm also thankful for your coverage of the lesser hyped items.
One of the negatives I keep reading about the Alzos is their fan noise. Do you know if these new models have improved upon that issue?

Hey (different Josh btw). Are the CRI ratings for this light public anywhere?

Post author@Josh - For the price, the K4000 offers quite a bit if you need the better color. I just received a new LED meter and so maybe this time around I can finally get my tests uploaded.

Thanks for continuing to cover this lesser-known stuff (aka - things I might actually buy). Judging from other sites, it was starting to seem like all that got shown at NAB were the new cameras from blackmagic/aja/sony/panasonic/etc.
I'm particularly interested in LED lights - was considering getting a set of F&V K4000 panels. These Alzo lights look good but I'd like to have some that are battery powered. Anything I should look at instead of the K4000?
