Dan, thank you for your comment. I'm glad the CM900 light works well for you.

Posted by Ken on 8/15/2009 6:28:00 PM

The light came within a week. I did a shoot at a night club with this light and it worked out perfect. LED is definitely the way to go. Awesome deal, thanks LA Color Online!

All I can say about the Comer 900 is Wow! It's comparable to the size of my Canon Speedlite 580 EX flash unit for my still camera, so it's just the right size for my Sony HDR-XR500 handycam. And the amount of light the Comer can put out is amazing! I did a nighttime test in my home office just using the computer monitor as illumination. The Sony couldn't lock focus at all. Flipped on the 900 and suddenly I could clearly see my black cat laying on my black computer tower under my black desk. No low-light noise on the video at all, very clean. The 900 is a winner!

Posted by Tom on 3/10/2010 4:24:00 PM

To compare the comer 900 vs the 1800 light amout. If you set the dimmer from the 1800 into the middle, is this the same of amount light than the 900 on maximum? (1800 lux vs 900 lux)

Hope you know what I mean.

Replied by LA Color Online

Technically you can say that. Comer 1800 brightness is measurred at 1800 lux at 1 meter. Comer 900 is 900 lux at 1 meter. So if you set the dimmer on 1800 half way, it should give out the same amount of light Comer 900 does.

Hi, I have a Canon HF S100, does this light double up as a flah light for taking still pictures besides being a video light?
Thanks

Replied by LA Color Online

Hi San,

This light is a video light. It won't be firing flashes like a flash light. However, it is bright enough to be used in still photography without using any Flash light.

Check out these links to see how our customers using the Comer 1800 light for still photography purpose,

Hi, thanks, also batteries on this video light are within the video light unit itself i.e don't depend on the camcoders batteries?

Replied by LA Color Online

That's correct. There're 4 models of Comer 900 lights that use different brand/model of batteries. However, there isn't one that uses the Canon HF S100 batteries.

Hi, I do filming in concerts and weddings, alot of party footage at night, would i be better off with the 900 than 1800?

Replied by LA Color Online

If you can afford, go with the Comer 1800 light. You never complaint it's too much light because you have a dimmer to adjust to the right amount of light you want. But when the location is dark, you only want to have more light.

I have done enough weddings to realized 1800 is the right light to use.

Posted by jonathan on 4/14/2010 6:09:00 PM

Hi, i forgot to say it is for a z-5u and i film alot with no stand or with a mono-pod. will the 1800 be too heavy or the 900 is better. And is the 1800 too blinding for filming people on the fly? Thanks

Replied by LA Color Online

The Comer 1800 light will fit well on your Z5U. The 900 light is weaker in output and doesn't have a full dimmer (only 2 level of brightness).

You won't be blinding people with the 1800 light as you can dim the light to the right amount of light you want.

Posted by Kiaan on 5/28/2010 6:55:00 AM

Is the Comer light mounted on teh Canon camcoder in the pictures a 1800 or a 900?

Thanks

Replied by LA Color Online

Picture on this page with a light on camera is Comer 900.

Posted by Chris K on 7/17/2010 3:07:00 PM

Wow!. I don't think I have ever been so pkeased with an online buying experience. The Comer 900 was processed within 30 minutes of ordering and delivered in 2 days. The light is better than I hoped and will be a regular part of my video shoots going forward. I had purchased a rotolight from another reseller and wasn't happy witih the output brightness. The Comer is versatile and small enough for my DSLR video workflow. I will definitely be an LA Color Online customer going forward. Thank you!

Chris, thank you for your kind comment. We strike to provide excellent customer service.

Posted by Bob C. on 7/31/2010 5:03:00 PM

I'm interested in the model 1800 Comer LED light especially because of the dimmer. For now I would be using the light with a Canon T2i camera, which is small. I'm wondering if the combination would be ungainly. Have you had a chance to try the 1800 with a T2i, or another camera of that size? (In a year or two, I will buy a semi-pro camcorder, so the l800 would be more in proportion in that case.)

Replied by LA Color Online

We recently tried mounting the Comer 1800 light on Panasonic GH1. The setup look perfect. Consider the T2i is slightly bigger than the Panasonic GH1, you can judge it yourself to see if it's too big or not.

Hi I'm interested in using this light with a Canon HF10. Is there anyway I can use an external dimmer with the Comer 900?

Thank you.

Replied by LA Color Online

Hi Charles, Comer 900 light doesn't have a full dimmer. It has 2 level brightness settings. Actually, combining it with the diffuser filter, and condenser lens, you can adjust the brightness to the amount you like. Thanks

Posted by Antulio on 2/20/2011 8:35:00 PM

Can the Comer 900 and 1800 be mounted on a Panasonic AG-HMC40 camcorder?

Replied by LA Color Online

Comer lights provide the industrial standard cold shoe mount. If your camera can take standard size accessories, it will take the Comer lights. Thanks

Posted by Ralph on 3/27/2011 8:15:00 AM

Do you think this is sufficient enough to light one-on-one outdoor interviews at night? I want the 1800 but it's unfortunately out of my budget and a little big for the camera I'm using.

Also, does changing the brightness setting to 0 mean "off"? I don't see an On/Off switch on this.

Replied by LA Color Online

Hi Ralph, yes Comer 900 is sufficent for interview shots. It wont light up the room but would be good for your application.

0 is the light OFF state. 1 is at 450 lux. 2 is 900 lux. Although it doesn't have a full dimmer like its bigger brother, the combination of Condenser lens, orange filter, and the barn doors enough to give you flexibility in different lighting requirement.

Posted by Eugenio on 4/1/2011 9:26:00 AM

I would like to see a picture of the comer 900 mounted on a DSLR, preferably in GH1 or T2i.

I bought the 1800 with you and I really liked the product.

Posted by Ralph on 4/2/2011 7:02:00 AM

Another question,

Were the usage times for each battery calculated with the Comer at 900 lux? Would I then be able to double those times if I set the Comer at 450?

It says 2 hours with the F570 battery, so would that mean I'd get 4 hours at level 1 brightness?

Replied by LA Color Online

Ralph, technically it can power the light for 4 hours if you set the Comer 900 light brightness to level 1. We have never tested it but according to the rating, it should be.

Posted by Marco Polo on 5/23/2011 2:46:00 AM

Hi,

Can the 900 ad 1800 be tilted forward as much as 45 degrees for closer shots?

Thanks!

Replied by LA Color Online

Comer 1800 can be tilted about 90 degree. However, Comer 900 light cannot be tilted.

Posted by Eugenio on 6/7/2011 7:25:00 AM

Eu tenho o Comer 1800 e o Comer 900, mas meu preferido o 900, pois ele mais leve, compacto, eficiente e combina com as minhas handycams.

Eu moro no Brasil e super indico a LA Color Online.

Thank you for your comment. Here's the Google Translation =)

I have the 1800 and Comer Comer 900, but I prefer the 900 because it more lightweight, compact, efficient, and it fits my handycams.

I have two Panasonic camcorders and would like to use Panasonic batteries. Is there any way to do that? Adaptors? You seem to be one of the first distributors of this light in the U.S., can you talk to the manufacturer to provide a battery plate for Panasonic batteries like VBG230?

Replied by LA Color Online

There is already a Panasonic version of Comer 900 using a more popular Panasonic batteries.

http://lacoloronline.com/product/?CP900-Comer-CM-LBPP900-LED-Light-(Panasonic-Battery)

Even if it doesn't match your battery type, our Sony compatible NP-F570 battery is only $18 and can power the light for 2 hours.

Posted by Vladimir on 8/26/2011 12:34:00 PM

I ordered I bought Comer CM900 to compliment my Canon XF100 camcorder after trying Litepanels MicroPro LED which I was not satisfied with.

Come CM900 utilizes the canon batteries that I use with Canon XF100 which is a big plus. But what I really like in this small light is the ability to generate very powerful light in such a small package. The build quality is very good as well.

The guys from LA Color were very supportive and responsive. Thanks!
