It seems like every trade show I go to there is a new wave of LED lights available. Broadcast Asia in Singapore was no exception. There were LED fixtures in all different shapes and sizes from established firms and no-name brands.

The Rotolight Anova has the unique ability to control its colour temperature using an Iphone via Wifi. David Toh of Cathay Photo explains more:
