Cheap Lights???

Hi, this is my first proper question on the forum btw :) Anyway, does anybody know any good lights that are cheap and not flood lights? I already have a "flood" light but I want something more focused and less powerful. LED's preferred. Thanks in advance!

LED's really aren't very focused, because to make realistic use of them you need an LED panel, generally that's going to have 2000+ LEDs on it. That ends up being a pretty large light source to try to 'focus'. Unless you put honeycomb on it to kill side spill and make it more directional anyway.

If what you're really after is something focusable, you should probably go prowl around ebay for some fresnel's or perhaps some ellipticals.

What's your budget? What, specifically, are you trying to achieve?

Chinese ARRI fresnel knock-offs are ok-ish, and fairly inexpensive, they're all over ebay.
