QUESTION OF THE DAY ⚡ What LIGHTING do you use for your videos right now? Let me know! 👇🏼 ****** Watch other videos in Best Budget Lighting for RUclips videos series here 👉🏻 ruclips.net/p/PLgc0GNip2uYWjDYfkUwtsThsRC4zb5YW1
I started using umbrella ever since who know when...
Ummmm.....2 LED work lights from Home Depot with printer paper over the lenses as filters....might be time to upgrade but they work for now and I’m doing what I can with what I have. 😜
On your recommendation I purchased these on cyber Monday "GVM 800D-RGB LED Studio 3-Video Light Kit" Truly a great set up at a phenomenal price! Work extremely well for my photography & videography shoots being portable. One of the best light setups I own for key lighting & ambient rear flood lightning. Thanks Sean for the excellent recommendation 🤟
i use DIY soft box. got a huge emergency led light and place a white cloth or sometimes white umbrella on it... instant soft box. :) can't afford to buy one at the moment.
I have use two soft box that i have mad it with hands
White softbox and red softbox
I just have prepare them and try them then will start in some days
And I have ask you in your instagram to send you a part of my video trying those lights and i want your opinion
professional grade lights for a incredible price. I absolutely recommend them. I work in television and our promotions team uses these.
Rants With Rogers thank you for weighing in. Very helpful to get another professional opinion.
Rants With Rogers do these need to be connected to the wall or can I bring it whenever ?
@@stunna3761 you can use Sony NP-F batteries as you can see at the back of the lights ;)
This is herry from china selling LED LIGHTS . welcome contact me herry@szjiangjing.com
I just picked these up (completely new to this) and I am trying to make a professional video talking to the camera and I'm getting super harsh lighting behind me on the wall. How can I (cheaply) prevent this harsh light? It looks like i'm in a warehouse with a spotlight on me.
I use a couple of lights I picked up from Home Depot for about $5.00 each. They surely aren't the best, but they have worked for my channel. That being said your lighting videos have been a huge help and I think I will picking up a set of these lights as soon as humanly possible. Keep up the superior work!
Yeah I was thinking about getting these because they’re so compact and easy to store vs the big ol soft box lights
Same, same! Those can even be used as a floor lamp in the living room. The only downside is even diffuson wont diffuse that much like a softboxes.
Excellent insight. I ordered it after seeing your video. You saved me from other expensive options. Thank you. Please continue good work. Love it.
Also great panel lights for artists ; drawing, painting, etc.
Great stuff! Clear, no-nonsense tutorial.
I'm researching lighting options for dance videos.
Using mostly daylight and available lighting as I get started with video and level up my skills. I have had situations that a lighting kit would have been very helpful.
This kit looks compelling. Thank you for the video.
So this would replace using soft boxes? Which one is better?
Great budget light kit
I am a barber and have been using ring lights at my station for lighting pictures and video, would you say these are good lights for a set up and are they irritating to someome sitting down? Thank u!
How are these lights in slow motion???? 120 fps? Any flicker?
Do these make these type of lighting in brightness, quality, and CRI but is ROUND in shape. With glasses, the square shape is not as pleasant as round. Thanks. GREAT GREAT video by the way - exactly what I needed. Thanks.
Hey, I'd take out the diffusion filter, and shoot through a round diffuser - try one of the 5-in-1 reflectors with the circular diffusion, or look for a round softbox like this one by D-Fuse. www.amazon.com.au/Kamerar-D-Fuse-Trapezoid-Cylinder-Softbox/dp/B07XH4RD27
heeeello, seen alot of reviews but none of them talks about churches! im a wedding photographer and i wanna light up my subject infront of me (2-3 meters max away) and im thinking of these! maybe you know somthing more!
I have this kit and use these lights quite often. I feel like the light quality can be a bit harsh even with the diffuser panel, so I use some baking parchment paper as another diffuser layer and attach it to the barn doors with some inexpensive binder clips I picked up from the dollar store. Works like a charm and the light looks nice and soft!
Had the same problem! Thanks for that idea. Hitting the baking isle!
I do the same thing. 😄
Zerin Scales isn’t there a dim option on the knobs?
J Escalona yes there is! However the diffuser on the light still give a harsh light instead of something soft. Dimming the light will just bring the brightness down. Difference between texture vs. intensity.
did you buy the non-barn door style lights?
“Best lighting kit under $150!”....clicks on Amazon link....”$210” 🙄
Exactly 🤣
Isn't it obvious, price will rise after 1 year 😒 you were 1 year late 🤣
Yooo Eric’s comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Yup, it happens
These lights are $200 now. I can't even count how many things you've made me buy. My wallet is starting to hate you now.

Have you made any money yet?
I previously purchased fovitec lights at your recommendation, but they were defective and required multiple replacements before the manufacturer ultimately offered to issue me a refund and admitted a problem with their supplier. Here's hoping these work out better, because I do trust your recommendations and appreciate your videos.
Americans! PLEASE learn that the vast majority of the world uses metric measurements!!!!
By all means talk in feet and inches, but put the metric equivalent on the screen!!
As a media RUclips channel, you think you'd realise that RUclips is international. It makes sense, therefore, to use the international measurement system.
This was great, just the tip about moving the mounting screws to the lower receiver for greater movement was worth the entire video for me :) outstanding and thumbs UP!
wow this kit is now 209. Still going to order. sick of this cheap 34 dollar light I got. It is huge and just is not working.
I have a big question, is there a BIG difference between Fovitec 600 LED and Neewer 660 LED? Because the latter is 50% the price. PLS RESPOND
Do you recommend these over soft box lighting? 🤔
I do not trust you because your lighting in this particular video while you are talking about lighting "is really off" so your lighting is non- professional and then you're trying to teach people about lighting🥴🥴🥴🥴
First time here and I had to subscribe. Here's why:
Too often while researching some bit of gear, I have to sit though what appears to be a Netflix trailer just to get to the info. Creators are spending a lot of the video's run time making the thing look cinematic, but at the expense of delivering less content. You just showed that you can deliver all of the information I need in a nice looking video while being very professional. I hope this is how you do all your videos.
Nice to know after contemplating starting a youtubechannel, and have just dropped over 3k at gear >< haha
I could have basically just used my iphone 11, a osmo mobile 3 and a lavalier :D (seriously!!)
As of July 1, 2020, these lights are $200 with free shipp.
This seems to be the case with the lights that get featured. The Studio Pro Softbox Lighting is also now $99 instead of $75 when it was reviewed.
$209 now
@@ItsKeishaBN i cant find the link LOL
Thanks 😊
Just an FYI: Arri SkyPannel is a CRI rating of 90 to 95 and about $6,000
As of now we’re using our living room lamp from target 😂, but these are definitely an option!
ENA Family 😂
ENA Family Must be a nice lamp.
ENA Family do these need to be connected to the wall or can I bring it whenever ?
@@vgman94 it is lol
@@stunna3761 it needs to be connected to the wall. it's a lamp with three heads that we found at target
I wish they had a daylight only version of this. You loose half the output when you switch between tungsten and daylight.
I just got this kit for xmas. Its def a weird thing to ask you're girl friend to get ya.....but i love it!!
Do they give off enough light for a larger space? Like doing a workout video as opposed to just sitting directly in front of the camera?
Loooooooooooove this channle. Inspiring apoor person like me is every thing ,i recently bout 14.5cm ring light for my channle .thank u for inspiring me
My lighting Setup:
Cheap Ring light for a Key,
Apurature on Camera light as a fill
Cheap work light with colored LED bulbs for accent lighting.
Looking at getting a Godox sl60w for a more Cinematic look.
Hi SEAN. Just a quick question. Do you recommend NEEWER ROUND light 21 inch (Panel LED lights), or Foviteck Soft lights for vlogging? Venessa is using FOVITECH, but I have to use them in office, and just wondering if panel 21 inch round lights are as good as FOVITECH? thanks.
They are all a little different...
The "Neewer Thin Studio Edge Flapjack Light, 21-Inch" -- are really nice! There are thin and like the elgato key lights - meant mostly for mounting to a desk.
The lights in this video are the best LED pannel lights.
The Fovitech soft boxes are probably the best budget options AND best "soft" lighting (they look the best). They just take up the most space.
You can't really go wrong with any of them. Just depends on what you need. :-)
I think you should consider this light ruclips.net/video/9x4aooxFLMs/видео.html (This is our fav right now on a budget)
Curious to see how they would compare to a softbox? Can you get that level of diffusion? I'm torn--I want the diffusion of softbox and the portability of battery power.
would this be an alternative to ring lights or would you use these in combination with a ring light for a seated video?
These would eliminate the use of a ring light really.
The Neewer 2 pack dimmable lights are very good and they are very cheap you get 2 LED soft lights for about 52 dollars check out the review on my channel
Been using these for some videos recently!! For the price, this a great starter kit to easily up your video quality if you don’t have lights yet! Being able to change the color temp is a must these days in led lights too!! 🙌🏻
Nolan Molt can I have a follow back✌🏻😀👍🏻
Awesomeeeee thank you so much for your vids learning a lot and applying on my channel! Seriously keep making vids like this! Making my youtube journey easier! Kudos!
UnoJuan so good to see you finally doing it bro! Im gonna kick off with my channel when i my camera arrives! For now stick with diy stuff to keep everything a float!
True bro.. learning so much from sean! Even my vid about thumbnails, got it from sean hahaha. Best things are free i guess
concheesesj09 looking for something portable too. Doing some travel and food vlogs lately.
UnoJuan i think you need to invest a bit on your lights uno, saw your channel... interesting, got potential. keep it up. cheers!
Jonalyn Custodio thanks jonalyn. Have to work extra hard to monetize my channel hahaha. Its a long way but everything is possible.
Nice
How far away should lights like this be from one's face for a talking head video and in which direction/position relative to the person speaking?
Anytime I need something this channel always delivers thank you.
I’ve been looking for lights. Don’t have any yet. I looked for you for recommendations. I’m going to buy these. Thank you
Milwaukee M18 rocket light, but it looks like there is a fan running in front of it on video. Hopefully this kit will get rid of the flickering look.
I have the new version of these lights which has a digital readout. The price was the same and they have been the best constant lights I had purchase. You should get the soft box for the these. It cost $26 and it does make a difference, not a huge one but it does smooth the light out a bit.
Any recommendations for shooting product reviews? Thoughts? I don't have very much lighting options now, bc I usually shoot outside. However, I want to film more inside now.. will be ok? should I go with Umbrella or Soft Box? Please help.. THANKS SEAN!
been using these fellas on a couple projects since mid-2019 and they PERFORM!!! Best value out there
did you get the barn door style? Wondering how much they actually help
Am buying these for my RUclips I already have 2 led lights not from neweer but I feel they ant enough
Recently started my RUclips channel this video was so helpful I’m about to order them..... I now use 3 rings lights to get the light quality I want hopefully this helps better than me using 3 rings lights
How is this light quality compare to the cheap CFL softbox lighting quality for video making? I am looking for a good high CRI light complete Silence for sync recording audio and video in a small studio. Many good lighting in the market have a fan builtin, which I do not like the noise for high quality music instruments recording , any suggestions ? Thanks!
i dont know if you got them in the us, but i bought 2 Falcon eyes DV-96V for 35 euro's each. Great for the people who want to start creating video's and looking for a budget friendly price. You can screw them on tripods so dont need them on your camera. And wireless!. Not the best lightings for sure. But it does its job better than nothing!. Havent shoot a video with it but looking forward to use them.
being spanking brand new to this activity, i am blown away that they are this cheap
Great video review! I just bought a set of these lights to help make my videos more professional and engaging. Hopefully I can increase my viewers and subscriptions.
I have subscribed …
Dude I’ve been following your Channel for a while. And I must tell you that you inspired me so much! Especially during this difficult times! I'm an actor and a musician, and due to the situation I found my self without a job stuck at home. Watching Your videos inspired me to start developing and working on my youtube channel, and I must tell it improved my days and my life. Thank you so much!!❤️❤️❤️
This technique doesn't get you any subs :( I already tried bro
Are you taking part in his free youtube challenge ending on tuesday may 21? You should
TAang Peifong honestly not trying to get more subs through this. Just wanted to show this guy my appreciation.
@@AdiZak oh boy😅😅😅😅my bad dude
TAang Peifong its ok man😁 no harm
I have heard so much about Yongnuo 300 III, would you recommend that or the Newer NL660. I am totally new to lighting and am keen to hear your opinion. Thanks
BATTERY QUESTION: Do you have an estimation as to how long an NP-660 will run on a pair of 2600 mAh batteries vs. a pair of 8800 mAh batteries? Thanks!
We bought these lights about a year ago, and use them for everything! The battery functionality make them even easier to use. Tip? They are amazing for sparkler exits for weddings!
So it’s portable just buy the batteries?
Where can we buy the battery?
@@dcfanforlife533 Google it, Amazon may sell them separately, or B&H sells them. I know the GVM lights that look quite similar to these uses the Sony style batteries and you get 2 batteries and 2 chargers.
I have seen a lot of creators using this light so I want to try it out for my channel, might just purchase it
Hi. I just ordered the Neewer Advance 2.4 G 660LED Video Light, Dimmable Bi Color LED Panel with LCD SCreen and 2.4 Wireless Remote...I purchased it on Amazon for $117.99. Did I make a good purchase?
And for those on a budget there are tea light candles
I have that yongnuo light I got for $10 bucks at a store that buys pallets of stuff from Amazon. I could easily resell this for $50-60 bucks but I'll just keep it for now.
I bought these and decided to return them the same day I got them just because I feel nauseas from the LED lighting. I never knew that was a real thing till now (did some google searches on it). So, I’m going to try the cheap soft box brand you recommended in your budget lighting video.
Ordered set of three and... What a joke of the company and the way if treating the customer.
It is a Sunday and they just canceled my order without even contacting me first. I'm in UK and currency is GBP but payment is done in USD, so my bank done currency conversion from GBP to USD and in this transaction and cancellation I just lost £20.00gbp.
What a joke in very bad way!
Not impressed! cost is way more than 150 as stated amazon.ca cost is CDN$ 269.99 plus tax
Purchased these lights based on your review and sorry you are wrong. These lights are NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH for video work. Reslly fed up with RUclipsrs spinning products that we, the viewer are hoodwinked unto buying.
the sad truth is your under $150 doesn't mean much. Click on your link and you'll see the price is now $192.99 & FREE Shipping. Or did you mean that they are less than $100 but you have to buy two? ;-)
Thank you Sean for your videos I'm learning from you every day #Thinkmedia ❤
I love it guys
If you buy these don't buy from their website. I've placed multiple orders, and after 1 week or so all got cancel saying their warehouse it too far from London, UK (?). I'm still waiting to get my money back. So, yeah, hope their products aren't as reliable as their company. PS: try Pixapro, if you're in the UK.
I'm sorry, it was never quite clear whether these are only good for upperbody type framing, or whether they'll perform okay lighting fullbody shots and/or fullbody twoshots...?
Currently using softboxes, I found LED lights really hot and hard to adjust. Do you find these lights ever get too hot? By hot I mean too bright not temperature...
I made a comment on here before asking which lights are better Newer or Forvitec? You kindly replied to my email that you weren't able to recommend one over the other because of your contractual obligations. So I sent the link to a well-known film director that happens to be a good friend of mine. He said 100% Fovitec 1200XB duel colour good price for the money, and they are amazing. Yes, they were more expensive but now I know after using the Fovitec that I'm glad I spent the extra cash and didn't buy the Newer light's in your Newer demo. Thanks anyway
I have a 3point soft box set with 4 light bulbs I can use 2 or all 4 fo the lights but I don't use them for RUclips I use 2 160 LEDs and 1 216 led but I'm thinking about them neewer 660 with the softbox.
I have been watching your videos which I find really enjoyable, they are easy to follow and very informative. I am looking to start creating videos for my martial arts school and wanted to know your opinion on these lights when shooting at a distance videoing two people, whole body. The videos will consist of close up description then a physical demonstration, kicks, punches, throws etc. I already have a couple of soft boxes but the video just doesn’t seem bright enough. Would you suggest something for us that will help please? Thank you 🙏
I'm a professional actor, but even before that my root has been semi-pro photographer and filmmaker. This is the sort of lighting we see on set in Hollywood but at the more reality, documentary filmmaker budget.
The bottom line here is, the pros rent all their equipment. When you arrive on a professional film or television base camp, there are a bunch of truck trailers, and it's all rented by Production. So they always have the latest, greatest equipment from cameras to props. But when it's just you, no matter how experienced and expert you are, you're most likely going to own all your equipment. You might occassionally rent a great lens you can't afford to own, but generally you're going to use the best equipment you can afford to own.
To me, in my significant experience, this is the best bang for your buck at a professional level, at home.
On a professional production, there is a Director of Lighting and a Director of Photography, and they each have their own crews. It takes about five people just to operate a camera, one camera. At home, or on RUclips, it's just you. You can't do better than this without either breaking the bank or going beyond your non-specialist ability to actually operate the equipment.
This is not pro-level stuff, but it's also not a selfie stick with ambient light.
nice presentation. what do you think of the new 660pro rgb kit today ? it is 50W, with lcd, color effects, remote control, ios app, ... are square neewer diffuser for 660 good ?
I am also looking for a light panel giving enough light on a face for night photography portraits. one 660 could be used but it would be nice to be able to use a handle with it with a slot for a 80cm translucent umbrella for better diffuser. aputure hr672s is a little too expensive but gives an idea how many lux we need on a face at 1meter distance.
Good lighting kit
Okay, but I was searching for a cat meowing around my place and finally realized the meowing was coming from your video. facepalm.
Hi Sean, What's the best light kit now in 2023? I'm your new student, please let us know. Thank you!!
Hi thx for the video. Question a lot of the content creators like yourself only need to light there faces but what about lighting a fitness shoot. As I’ll be standing in some and doing floor exercises in others and if I stream live I can’t go and adjust the lights. So what’s your recommendation thx
Thank you,but now ,not available on Amazon,where can I buy them right now
good presentaiton--try not waving your hands around so much--it's distracting---stillness is best for on-camera performance
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO READS DESCRIPTIONS?
Hi Sean. Are these still best budget lights or do you recommend something else? Are you planning to do new best budget lights video? I need desperately lights for my videos.
Trust me, these lights works great. I bought 4 of them during black Friday for $225. They ar every portable, shines enough and most of all, uses np batteries. The portability is what I love about them thr most
They upped the price but I think I'm still gonna by them
Thank you for shedding some light on this topic, I really do need better lighting.

Good Looking out Phil. It’s a little more for 2 to make it a kit but to me well worth it due the lcd screen and remote.
So helpful. Thank you. Loved this video. Any support or subs would be great as well 🤗🤗👇
Amarinx 0827 sub to me I’ll return the favor
how do i know when i have my light at 3200K or 4000K or whatever? is there a way to measure that on this ligthing kit in particular, i have this kit specifically
Very helpful, thanks. I've been using cheap daylight CFL lights with diffuser umbrellas for my Diabetes channel, but I'm ready for an upgrade
I have them and they are so much better than the old Lowell kit I had to lug around an KSNV NBC 3 in Vegas.
For my RUclips videos I use my flashlights 🔦
20 of them 😁😁😁😁
On sale right now!!!
Very good, super helpful! Thanks for doing this! I'm gonna set some of these lights!
