Apollo Announces the new Clip Light

Here is the link: Apollo Design | Clip Light

Here is a photo:


Here is the Price: $75 USD

I usually don't have anything to say that isn't nice to Apollo, but what is the point? Is that a $60 color frame on it? Other than that, I can pick up a nearly identical fixture at the hardware store for $8...

No offense, but....
WHATS THE POINT?

EDIT: Turns out there was a typo on the website, and it's 4 for $75, and includes a cut of gel.

I'm going to have to agree with you on this one Icewolf. I have enough trouble with my clip lights growing legs and walking away at the $8.00 price point. I have to buy 6-8 clip lights a year, not do to breakage, but due to sticky fingers. (Usually other departments within the company)

Turns out that was a typo, and it is supposed to be a package of 4 for $75. Apollo is updating their site. Also, this does include a cut of gel for each fixture.

What's the Point ??? The Point is It's an Apollo Clip Light !!!!
How cool is that !
I'll take 4 !
I agree with cdub, we go through clip lights like nobodies business, like socks in a washing machine. I do like the design however..... Hmm 3/16" drill bit, some brass brads, now for the circular gel retainer.......

I wish it wasn't $19 a light, $12 a light would have made it much more competitive, I feel. My worry is with the abuse clip lights take, you will likely be TAPING on extra gel in a few yeas just to cover light leaks.

It's a good idea, and I'll probably pick some up some day, but till then, I'll stick with these:

This thing looks like it comes with a CF lamp as well. Now, if they had a way to keep the stupid silver thing from stripping out the base, I would be sold.

What we really need is just a Better Clip Light.
