Some properties of LED retrofit lights are important for video lighting. Unfortunately these properties are never listed on the box...

Very interesting video, glad to see that you made an english version!

Interesting how the efficiency drops quite a bit as the power goes up in these LEDs.

[@Helderhugo]

Interesting. Thank you for this. I need lightning for my videos too so I hope there will be more reviews on some more lights.

[@DrCassette]

There will be more videos about LED lighting, going a lot further than just testing LED retrofit lights. I have been experimenting with COB LED modules and different ways of powering them, now I need to figure out a simple, cheap and effective way of cooling the modules.

Hello Dr Casse Perfect Light Energiu Saving does not heat Up.

I suppose LED panels are better for general video lighting. The special ones are expensive but maybe you can make your own by using 12V LED tape.

[@DrCassette]

Building some LED panels from LED tape is indeed a project I have been thinking about :)

I am kind of in the market for some inexpensive video lights (I have to make do with an old halogene reading lamp), I wonder if Ikea has some usefull / inexpensive solution as they sell a lot of lamps and lightning products. I need something that has cool white light instead of warm yellow light.

[@DrCassette]

Finding cool white lights is a bit of a challenge, I think you may have more luck finding some of those in a home improvement store rather than a furniture store. Most of the work lights and utility lights seem to be cool white. Make sure to try and check for flickering before you buy.

i must admit, i watched the other video with english subtitles because i dont speak german

[@DrCassette]

Out of curiosity I tried the subtitles on the other video and was surprised how well they worked. This would have been a way for everyone to understand that video, but most people unfortunately didn't think this far. They just gave the video a thumbs down or even complained in the comments...

@@DrCassette Very few people like to read subs. Even watching a movie, they would rather it was dubbed badly than have to READ!!
