I'm looking for suggestions for a VERY high output LED strip or panel. I'll compromise on beam angle once i find one that's bright enough. If it'll blow you away and blind you at the same time, that's what I'm looking for.
Best LED Strip

Check out the ETC Selador Vivid. They pack a 3.5 watt Luxeon K2 LED. I don't think anything comes close to them at this point for shear power (other than their little brother and sister the 2.5 Watt Lustr and Paletta fixtures). You can also put in different spreader plates to adjust the beam angle.
I seriously doubt the ADJ's can even come close to the power of a Vivid... but they do cost a LOT less money. Always beware when an manufacturer brags about the SIZE of the LED and not the brand of the LED manufacturer and it's actual power rating.
Which is brighter?
40" ADJ Mega Bar has 252 LED's and burns 30 Watts of power.
42" ETC Vivid has 160 LED's and burns 648 Watts of power.
PixelRange also has some pretty impressive fixtures.
If your budget doesn't support these fixtures take a look at NEO-NEON the Chinese OEM manufacturer. Do a search and you'll find a thread started by BillESC with some impressive shoot out pictures.

See this thread:

I don't have any personal experience, but a picture speaks a 1000 words.

I think you meant this thread. The pictures are impressive. He said street price is under $1600. A 42" ETC Vivid will have a street price up in the $3,750+ neighborhood.
Vivid is probably brighter if you could do a side by side shoot out but it may not be worth the extra $2k+.

Very possible that I grabbed the wrong thread. Most pictures are blocked by content filtering here at work, so sometimes it's hard to tell.
