If you get the CREE strobes, let us know what you think of them. I'm guessing that if the battery is the same as the earlier model (that I have) but the run time goes from 5 hours to 2 hours, the strobe is pulling more that twice the juice. That should make it significantly brighter. 2 hours run time is plenty in my book.Cool, I can't wait to check them out, hopefully the run time will still be close. There will probably be a trade off between needing to see them and flashing glare in the camera.
