I am not 100% certain but the base looks to be made from two sheets of plexiglass separated by Led strips running around the edge. The lighted base seems adequate and solid, in fact, it is the heaviest part of the setup, rightfully so. The LEDs are low-quality plastic with a base that screws into the 20" arms and if I am not mistaken they will mount on a camera flash shoe as well. The power management could easily be addressed by adding a power panel at the light base near each arm, and simply adding coiled cables that encircle the arms and plug into the base - Duh!īuild Quality: The build quality is kind of sketchy, I had the feeling while I was putting it together that something was going to break, although it never happened.
Charging your LEDs once again you need to plug each light into separate power chargers and find somewhere to plug 4 into AC outlets, with charging taking a couple of hours. One saving grace is the LEDs are chargeable and can run continuously if needed without the need for power being applied - but don't expect hours of use, mine ran down in about 30 minutes following a recharge. Savage should re-think how power is provided to the system more elegantly - all the wires routed up to the LEDs look dated. (read my final thoughts on how I modified to wireless flash below) This is my biggest complaint - Too many power sources, nonreplaceable LED batteries, and the charging time for the LEDs take hours. Secondly, the power cables are not integrated into the arms and cable management with 5 dangling wires + your user-supplied and needed extension cord can cause for some feet in the loop situations. The second irritation is the Charging system in general for the LEDs, you need individual power sources, this is simply stupid, and adding the 5th power source to power the table means you need an outlet that supports five power supplies. So as battery life goes you may be finding the need to replace the entire Led head. Like the non-user-replaceable battery for the LEDs. Now for the rest of the story: Be advised there are a few irritations with the product. What I liked: Ease of use and setup, the included soft light diffusers for each LED and dim-able light table base. But this one works well for small objects.
Other semi-enclosed seamless solutions may be a better cheaper alternative - link below. This limits your placement and size of your products - trying to keep the black arms out of your shots may also be challenging. It is not intended for large objects or wide shots due to the open design. The other uses may be beneficial for the Macro photography folks, I fell this product has potential in that area as well. I find the Savage Product Pro LED Light Table simple to set up and use and when things are simple you tend to use them more and that said I will be using it quite often around the house. One nice feature is the dim-able light table base by holding your finger on the flush-mounted switch, this is nice for obvious reasons. As far as for usability it works as advertised. The flexible light arms allow you to adjust the LEDs to many positions suitable for your desires and lighting needs. I had no problems with my setup and use of the lighting system.
