Login Now New Tile Light Duo – Twice the Light for Half the Price
The new Kickstarter campaign for the Blind Spot Gear Tile Light Duo kit sees the light drop in price by half!
Blind Spot Gear is a five-person company out of Glasgow, Scotland. They recently entered the crowded market of portable LED panels with the Tile Light, which you may remember from this episode of cinema5D Essentials, where we demonstrated how to get more out of your portable light.
The company has taken some customer feedback into account, and is now offering a complete lighting kit at a more attractive price. While the original price of the Tile Light was launched at £445/$590, the new Tile Light Duo will include two Tile Lights with their respective accessories, as well as two soft boxes for an Earlybird price of £475 (€529 / $625), effectively slashing the individual price by half. The kit even includes a slim-profile, purpose-built EVA case, so you get even more bang for your buck.
Although a two-light kit like this is not a comprehensive lighting solution by any means, it does provide a good starting point, as well as help keep thing small and compact – a plus for any one-person crew.
The Kickstarter campaign for the Blind Spot Gear Tile Light Duo is open from today, with the product’s shipping date expected to be in February 2018. Check out the pre-order campaign HERE.

No information about CRI. No information about flickering at which FPS. Why should I spend 600 Bucks for a light by a company I never heard of. There is nothing new. I can get two “Yongnuo YN360” for 150 Bucks. Super portable. Daylight and RGB Light. Tungsten Diffuser. App for RGB Colors. I can buy 4 “Yongnuo YN360” for 600 Bucks. And the CRI is at 90. And the weight is only 480 gramm. So two weights only 1KG.

I’ve got three of them…they are terrific…excellent customer service as well!!!
thanks for the feedback. are they also flicker free in slow motion?
Simon Kipfer not sure. I haven’t tried. I’ll try to do a test this weekend
has anyone tested them for on camera use?
how do they compare to the Aladdin light or the Ledzilla?
Looking for a new light for on camera but for run and gun interviews in tungsten it seems pretty bad if the color quality is off like on those lights?
I have 3 of them. Excellent light. Built like a tank. The Yongnuo YN360 is not even in the same league. Super output. CRI around 95 if I remember correctly. They list temp at 5600. My test showed 6100k. Could use a little warming.
CRI 95. Where? I could not find that Info. The softbox accessories looks not very professional at all. And you have to put a cable to it to dim the light and also a second cable for battery?! I also don´t want to fiddle around with the tungsten layer. The the marketing videos there is a lot of “blah blah blah” going on: “The simplicity, the technology, intuitive design, powerful, beautiful, simple to use, no light no images. Explore, journey, other creatives allready using this product. BBC, Netflix, blah blah” plus EPIC music. I rather buy another plastic Yongnuo YN360… Read more »
I used my Seconic C-700 color meter. It was at least 95 CRI. The temp was higher than stated on their site. The two detractors are the 6100 kelvin which is a bit higher than most of my other LED’s and I can’t find CC gel to make it match my other lights. The battery sled is poorly made. The battery lock is not very secure. The battery has fallen off a few times already. Other than that it is a pro piece of gear. If I did not have 3 I would have loved to gotten the new kit… Read more »
Why don’t you just read the reviews that are out there and you’ll spoon find out why you should buy it. Quick version: it’s insanely bright for its size and really robust. On top of that I believe there’s 4 different brightness levels available without the dimmer. You only need it for stepless adjustment. CRI means fuck-all with leds man. If you need a rating to make you feel comfortable, look for TLCI or better yet use a spectrometer and measure. Very interesting how, because you’ve never heard of a company (plenty of people have heard of and used blind… Read more »
I call it “marketing numbo jumbo” because of the youtube and kickstart videos I watched. TLCI is at 91. Which is pretty good. I did not see it in the first place. But still…. a cable for Battery and another cable to dim the light. Or i can dim in 5 steps. This is not simple, practical at all. No battery life indicator? And a sticky tungsten plastic solution. And the ugly soft box solution. you don´t have to buy plastic lights, but those plastic lights have features those “simple,. easy to use light” from Blind Spot did not have.… Read more »
Hi Markus, Thanks for engaging on the post. The external dimmer is a feature. When shooting documentaries and using a top light I was forever frustrated having to reach to the top of the camera to adjust the output of the light thus compromising the framing of the shot. This dimmer and extension cable allow you to rig the dimmer anywhere you want on your camera or rig. It makes much more sense to us to have your dimmer next to your iris and gain control. https://postimg.org/image/8vcmjkhe17/ We also wanted the product to be as thin as possible for small… Read more »
