"It's digital, it's either on or off, there is no dim"

I went to EVS today t pick up soame tapes and I saw one of their super-expensive panel lights which made up of about 200 LEDs. And, IT DIMS!

It's not a smooth dim, but it steps down in stages. Like maybe 10 steps from 100% down to 0%.

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???
And you are going to listen to those guys? What do they know about BUILDING ring lights? Come on!

Or...

Suck it up and by the Kinoflo ring light like the big boys have. The down side to that is that it's kind of big and the models kick it when you come in too close for a shot. And IT can be dimmed... oh yes, it can be dimmed. Just make sure to get the right color temp to match your other lights.

Next time you are in Evs, kick one of those queens in the nuts for me. They were supposed to send me a bulb for a Rifa light and didn't.
