Awesome timing, and helpful video! Lighting is my next investment and looking for a good stand-in until I drop decent money on a high-end lighting setup
This came just as I was looking to buy a new light! Great info. Friendly suggestion for future videos: I really wanted to just see 3 side by side shots of the same image with each light. As much as we look at numbers and specs, I think what it comes down to for most of us is how it looks!

Ok so now I have no excuse for not getting my lighting together. Very helpful video. Affordable and user friendly. Thank you! Bi-color LED light it is!
I just bought some soft box lights and posted a video about it on my channel if you want to check it out. They were over $50 but under $100 from Amazon.
I bought 2 of these mountdog lights on black Friday and cyber monday for about $35 each. Haven't received them yet because I'm in Jamaica. But now I'm glad I made this choice. Cant wait to get them! 😊
I'm using softbox lights from Andoer. They straight forward to use however they have some downsides: 1) They're difficult to store and take up space 2) there is no way to control brightness.
I use this setup with a 4 bulb head. two switches. I have two bulbs in one and one in another. This gives me three light options from one source for like 30 bucks. crazy good light and virtually free. I did get the softbox and light socket as part of a moving sale for 50% off. but it works great. I have it on a vertical mic stand and it is super compact that way. My lights, are .... costco led regular bulbs... grey card and custom white balance makes it all good.

Tried to buy the winner from your link, but it's not available in the UK. If we bought it from the US it would be £56 plus £55 postage ($148 US Dollars) Any ideas for the UK for something affordable but also good? Thanks
i have searched for just the bi colour LED bulb but can not even find the whole kit in the UK. please can you help with this as I already have many softboxes and stands ?
I've literally been binging your LED/softbox light videos (the neewer and studiopro ones) to figure out the right one for me. This video couldn't have been posted at a more perfect time. Thanks so much!
i have the softbox with the twe tone lamp that you can adjust but even if i put it a 45 degrees it always makes the side of my face so white...do you have any advice?
I literally just bought the CBO/corn light after watching a studio setup from Omar! kind of crushed to not have the best tech but that will always happen. As soon as you get the newest thing they come out with an even better one. Great video.
I would like to see their wattage if they are the same, because if not then it is not a fair comparison? and of course, the dimmable bulb has the advantage, but was it cheaper than the two?
Hey Sean I am looking at eventually getting a Canon G7X mark ii or iii i don’t know yet. I want to be able to live stream on elgato and obs studio. My question is does either model have an HDMI output and if so how do I connect it to those different softwares? If I can’t then how do it I do it?
I got 2 softboxes that came with 5500k bulb lights. Then i got 2 adapters so i could use 2 bulbs on each softbox. Now i have twice the light, but i can't dimm down the light or change temperature. Leds are the way to go IMO.
BRO!!!!! Great Content!!!! I love that you guys are so knowledgable, BUT YET.... you talk to us and NOT down to us beginners! Love that! And you all come across like you TRULY give a shit about your viewers. Keep up the good work... and I'll keep watching & supporting! Salute!!
Thank you for this video. Do you think one light will do or do I need to have at least 2? I want to start making videos about men’s fashion. So I will obviously be trying on different outfits and getting full body shots. Would appreciate your response 🙏🏽
Hey there. I’m looking for budget video lighting for filming my family band. We’re 3 or 4 musicians and need to light up a 3x9 ft area. Do you think one of these would suffice or should we get 2 ?
I got a set of two softboxes with led bulb (plus two spare bulbs) for £35 off ebay UK. Not dimmable (and not the brightest but they're fine for me, especially not being dimmable they'd probably be too bright otherwise) and they do take up a lot of space but for the money I have no real complaints.
Wow thanks for the great advice. #Go VRA FAM. Bought Mount Dog BiColor.... It was love at first sight. When you are a one man operation LIGHTING can be a real pain. TOTALLY amazed at how easy this box is and how good it looks. Another nice feature you don't even mention is that it is lighter than many light boxes too. Comes with travel case, (although mounted permanently in office/studio), I have mine clamped to a bookshelf. Sun from the window, this light on the opposite side, along with hair light and we are good to go. With this light I can match the temperature of the sun from the time of the day perfectly so no more half way line on the face. ;) Thanks for the link.
Thanks for this! Been using a typical cheap 6ft reading light with white fabric pieces over the 2 bulb cones... not perfect lighting by any means... been wanting to up my game... this is a great suggestion... the adjustability seals the deal for sure ... but the space they use up is the one concern... any other mounting suggestions other than the tripod stand?
@@AlistairBrugsch You're asking if we get it? Did you actually read tushygalore's post? It spells out "the corn cob shape is coincidental". Or maybe you think we didn't notice that "corn cob" has the word "cob" in it, which is spelled the same as the acronym "COB"?
Its crazy because just bought some soft box lights & just posted a video about it. They were a little over $50 but under $100. I was afraid of if I bought them too cheap they would fall apart on me.
Thank you guys so much for this video. I just started my channel a few weeks ago. And was looking at lights this past weekend. And came across this one but could find any decent reviews on youtube. I now just ordered it through your link. 👍👍👍
Great video, was looking to buy some soft box lighting for my videos as currently all I have is a simple desk lamp. Which lights have you guys bought and how has it held up over time? Thanks!
I just bought some soft box lights and posted a video about it on my channel if you want to check it out. They were over $50 but under $100 from Amazon.
I was just looking up the COB lights on Amazon from one of your other videos and I saw the corn light. Then a little bit later you posted this with a corn light! Lol, you always seem to post at the perfect time! 😂
I actually got the Light bulb one for 25€ as well as a Ring Light for 8€ which I can change the brightness and color tempurature, I'm fine with that setting

NOW? I am using normal lamps and sunlight, lol. But that is a good light you suggested so it's on my Amazon wish list.
Nice!!!!!! You guys have been keeping on my game.
None of the Lights available atm ....
Hello think media. Please i will love to have a private communication with you. Maybe on WhatsApp
This came just as I was looking to buy a new light! Great info.

Lighting is important for getting high-quality videos. I always use them. Btw, I never buy expensive lights because the result is the same.
Then you have no idea about why they're expensive. Just google High CRI lights film making.

welcome think media
Iam waching from Ethiopia

I use the one with the bulb... it works fine for me at this point and definitely improved the quality of my videos.
Was able to use some affiliate money to pick up the Godox SL 60W and got the 47" dome soft box. Changed everything about how my videos look!
I bought 2 of these mountdog lights on black Friday and cyber monday for about $35 each. Haven't received them yet because I'm in Jamaica. But now I'm glad I made this choice. Cant wait to get them! 😊
The moment you spoke about the settings on the Bi-Color light, I knew that would be the one I’d go for too
I’m so glad I watched this before buying a $80 soft box without a remote!
Using your tips to make me into the best youtuber ever💁🏾♀️
I'm using softbox lights from Andoer. They straight forward to use however they have some downsides: 1) They're difficult to store and take up space 2) there is no way to control brightness.
The #1 choice, Mountdog is out of stock on Amazon. What do you recommend in its place? Thanks!
Fan from INDIA.I am learning lots of things from you

I was looking for good cheap lighting til I get money to invest in a good and think media never fails with good tips and info ….thank you
I use the bulb light there are not very good but good enough, with the price i can't complain i get great results.
Great, i know what I'm asking Santa for Christmas!
Growing gradually, I’m on my to 4K watch hour 🥂🥂
@Joni G Hello Joni G, well dear if you're a snail, I must be a baby snail. 48 🤣🤣🤣
@Joni G Awww us little people down here need you. 🤗 Thank you so much Jon G. I truly appreciate you. Have a wonderful Sunday!!
Literally just wondering what some good cheap lighting solutions might be. Thanks for living in my 🧠 lol⚡️

*Hi there* do you have to worry about flicker with the Bi-colour please?
What about the 60hz cycling from fluorescent interacting with camera... I has problems with this in the past.
I’m so excited that the bi-color mount dog won! I ordered it last week and it comes in Thursday! Excited for my better quality videos
how is it?
Thank you ThinkMedia! Mountdog sold out already🤣
Thanks for the information
Thank you, It is very useful info. I am getting the LED but it's unavailable at the moment
Now you got me wanting a corn dog
i have searched for just the bi colour LED bulb but can not even find the whole kit in the UK. please can you help with this as I already have many softboxes and stands ?
Perfect timing considering all I can spend on lighting is $50 from an Amazon gift card.
God is good 👍
I have the Mount Dog and love it! Best value out there!
Which light is a good low cost option for lighting the screen on a green screen?
Great video! Lighting is such an essential element of production that people often overlook!
Did you buy these are were they provided to by the manufactures?
If you put Lifx bulb into light bulb stand you can control on phone and change to RGB light under 100$
I've literally been binging your LED/softbox light videos (the neewer and studiopro ones) to figure out the right one for me. This video couldn't have been posted at a more perfect time. Thanks so much!
The mountdog bi-colour one (in my country) seems to be much more expensive (almost 200$).. would it still be a good investment at that price..?
My main light is a Sokani X60 V2 with a 80cm Godox soft. I use Pixel RGB Led Photography Lighting Panels on stands for secondary lights.
Deciding on which one to get
Watching you from Kenya you have really motivated me soon am starting my RUclips video
This is a great light then
I use 3 NEEWER 160 CN lights with the included diffuser. They are usually around 75% brightness.
i have the softbox with the twe tone lamp that you can adjust but even if i put it a 45 degrees it always makes the side of my face so white...do you have any advice?
No data on lumen output for comparison. Thank you for your effort!
Great video
Can you swap types of lights in any of the stands? Or does each stand only take a specific type of bulb?
Well I guess there’s something else I need for Christmas now 🙃 Hey Yo Santa....you got this??!!!
Thanks for the tip
This kit only comes with one right??
I absolutely love this video
Fantastic love it! Thanks
I could probably use one of these for my small indoor studio which is a small part of my filming for RUclips.
I literally just bought the CBO/corn light after watching a studio setup from Omar! kind of crushed to not have the best tech but that will always happen. As soon as you get the newest thing they come out with an even better one.
Great video.
I would like to see their wattage if they are the same, because if not then it is not a fair comparison? and of course, the dimmable bulb has the advantage, but was it cheaper than the two?
It looks like the mountdog bi-colour softbox isn't available currently. Can someone recommend a similar option? Thanks! :)
I wonder if there is a difference between this and the YICOE Softbox Photography Lighting Kit which is cheaper and has replacement bulbs on Amazon
I’ll think about that soft box winner! Been using window light for the most part.
Awesome video!
Hey could you do a video on a portable small Soft Box? Or a DIY one?
Hey Sean I am looking at eventually getting a Canon G7X mark ii or iii i don’t know yet. I want to be able to live stream on elgato and obs studio. My question is does either model have an HDMI output and if so how do I connect it to those different softwares? If I can’t then how do it I do it?
I got 2 softboxes that came with 5500k bulb lights. Then i got 2 adapters so i could use 2 bulbs on each softbox. Now i have twice the light, but i can't dimm down the light or change temperature. Leds are the way to go IMO.

These are awesome for video, nice video as always guys 🔥

How this lights compare with COB lights about brightness?
Thanks for the info! Lighting makes such a difference in my videos 😊
I love your tips. Thank you so much.

It's really amazing and thanks for making this video but i can't find this product in india any suggestions... Or alternatives..?
I'd like to see the setups while you were recording the video
I’m a beginner, thanks for this info. I was wondering what to get!
Me too just order one for my RUclips channel u can visit my channel
Great job.

Based off another Think Media video, I bought the Mountdog 95w 5500k kit of 2 lights for $59 from Amazon. So far, so good-especially for the price.

When did they start calling those bulbs “Corn Lights”?
That’s a C.O.B. bulb, stands for “chip on board” , the corn cob shape is coincidental.
Hahaha yeah, you beat me to it.
That light actually is made up of a bunch of tiny LED lights it's hard to see in the video.
It's a corn COB. Geddit? Lol
@@ThinkMediaTV Right. Those "tiny LED lights" are the chips in Chip On Board (COB).
@@AlistairBrugsch You're asking if we get it? Did you actually read tushygalore's post? It spells out "the corn cob shape is coincidental". Or maybe you think we didn't notice that "corn cob" has the word "cob" in it, which is spelled the same as the acronym "COB"?
I use the Godox sl60W & I love it.
Its crazy because just bought some soft box lights & just posted a video about it. They were a little over $50 but under $100. I was afraid of if I bought them too cheap they would fall apart on me.
Starting from tomorrow clear pictures new channel 😊
A very informative video, I know what to buy when I’m ready for a light kit , thank you for sharing!
A big thumbs up

Thanks guys! I bought it through your links! Love your work guys! Sean team.... you guys are great!
When you are looking at the video and you have the bulb one as your light 😁 time to upgrade ee
Thank you!
I took your suggestion and purchased one. It’s time to start taking photos!
Is it mountdog as mentioned and written or is it Wisamic Softbox Lighting Kit according to the link?
They just renamed the brand. Same product.
sadly the mountdog has gone very expensive. Is it possible to have a updated version of this video please thank you
I was just looking up the COB lights on Amazon from one of your other videos and I saw the corn light. Then a little bit later you posted this with a corn light! Lol, you always seem to post at the perfect time! 😂
You guys are the best!!
Did price go up? Im on Amazon Canada and its going for 175! 🤯😳
I actually got the Light bulb one for 25€ as well as a Ring Light for 8€ which I can change the brightness and color tempurature, I'm fine with that setting
