About two weeks ago I discussed mounting Cineo Matchbox lights inside my Mercedes Sprinter adventure van using Really Right Stuff BH-25 ballheads.
I’ve updated that post with pictures of the lights as mounted.
To mount the Cineo Matchbox, a magnet with a countersunk hole is bolted onto the bottom of the Really Right Stuff BH-25 ballhead, which then allows magnetic attachment to anything. The ballhead then provides for aiming the light where desired.

The light quality from the about $318 Cineo Matchbox is second to none: 160° spread and none of that harsh LED bulb problem because the Matchbox uses remote phosphor technology. Plus the color rendering index is 98 (at 3200°K).
