Since then I've learned a lot about falloff, lumens, lux, CRI, and all that stuff. (Not that I've even had enough light to play with to choose a look anyway.)ДЄRTIFICIAL LIGHT: My artificial light so far has been a DIY foam-board Lowel Ego with a socket splitter containing two cheap 100W-eq.

At the iPhone's native ISO of 20, I can make it look like nighttime in here at 9AM, but because the walls are light, it's not exactly a low-key look.

#SMALL LED PANEL WINDOWS#

NATURAL LIGHT?: There are windows on two sides, but due to their design, the direction they face, and the outside overhangs, they don't let a lot of light in (from a photo/video perspective). I don't have a ton of floor space and there is only one good wall in the room to use as a background. It's roughly 14' across x 12' front-to-back x 8' high with light-colored walls (textured with an awful spray-on texture that I hate, but can't do anything about). WORKSPACE: Due to unfortunate life circumstances (pandemic + brain tumor while living abroad), my working space for the foreseeable future is my bedroom at my parents' place in the middle of nowhere.

I'm doing it all on my iPhone 8+ with manual camera controls for now, because I know from experience that GAS is very real and that lighting is way more fundamental than your camera. I've been drowning in Amazon listings and YouTube reviews for the past month and I am stuck in 'analysis paralysis,' so I hope Reddit can help me out with some unbiased help.Д¬ONTEXT: I am a hobbyist just getting started playing around with food photography and talking-head videos. Whether you need just one item or a complete kit, you can find great options at B&H Photo Video.Tl dr- Are there any LED panels under $150 with CRI >= 95 that will give me more than ~2,000 lux 1 meter 5600K?

LED lighting provides a convenient and cost-efficient light source for photography and videography. If you're a videographer, this constant light is suitable for action shots. Since LEDs are continuous light, you can move around as you compose a shot, or use a remote camera control. Use colored LEDs to alter the mood in your photograph. If your design calls for only one highlight, place a light on just one side. For drama in your portrait, put a light on either side of your subject. These characteristics make LEDs useful for portrait photography. You can also use them in spaces that are too small to be safe for lights that run hot.

You can place them close to a subject without causing discomfort. Single LED lights are too small to light a photo, but used as accents, they could add interest to a picture.Д®nergy-efficient LEDs are cooler than traditional studio lights.

You can use a small panel on a light stand to highlight a face in a portrait, while larger LED panel lights would provide soft light for a full body image. If you need convenience, some kits are built around battery LED lights. Like the tungsten light kits that are still popular in videography, LEDs come grouped with accessories in LED lighting kits. This makes them not only a cost-effective choice, but environmentally friendly as well. LEDs convert 90 percent of their energy into light. For photography and videography, choose continuous light when you need to mimic certain types of illumination sources, or you need to see the result of composition before shooting an image. LEDs can provide continuous light, as opposed to the off-and-on flashes of strobe lighting. While colored lights had been used only in things such as clocks and traffic lights, white LEDs gained widespread use in photography and video. The original lights were red, followed by yellow, green, and blue. Although you might think of this type of light as new technology, an engineer at General Electric invented the first one in 1962. Light-emitting diodes are semiconductors that convert electricity to light. When tungsten lights or fluorescent lights don't fit the situation or the budget, consider LEDs. Their illumination is similar to natural light, and has the versatile color balance. They're inexpensive, don't put out the amount of heat that other studio lights do, and come in a variety of configurations. LED lights can be your best choice for lighting your studio.
