Two things. 1: look up the rule of squares per meter for light. This is the reason I don’t use these kinds of lights for my shooting. Not enough light hits the subject at the distance I keep my lights. These would be great for close up shooting though!! 2: Christian? Not knocking, I am too. You don’t see too many people with a “For Future Glory” shirt on. Most people want glory here and now.
Good observations. I think I can agree with you on that. They’re solid light for the right application. Yes, I’m a Christian. I actually designed the shirt for my church.
How much area do they have the ability to handle? I’m running into an issue with banding at high shutter speed when shooting stills indoors where lighting is uneven
They would be really solid fill lights, hair lights, or background lights, but I think for corporate environments you'll want something stronger and softer. For your main light I would go with something kind of like this COB light geni.us/A0ATp and I would pair it with some sort of softbox like this geni.us/IuOTo
Great video! I am an oil painter and I’m looking at the Lyme cube for lighting my studio. After watching your video I’m thinking they may not be bright enough?
You could certainly give them a try. I would first check the return policy from wherever your buying from in case, they don’t work out. Ultimately it really depends on how much light you need in your space. I wish it were easier to answer accurately.
First time viewing your channel and I like your style! I know at the end you said these lights wouldn't be great for the run-and-gun videographer. So in that regard, what lights would you recommend for roughly the same price point? I'm thinking mainly for interviews. (I keep going back and forth between panels or cob lights)
Below is a ridiculously long link to some options I like lol Basically, I like COB lights with some sort of softbox as my key light. Some like the Amaran 100d or comparable lights from smallrig. Then for my fill and hair light I like to use panels because they’re easier to place in different positions and they typically don’t need any softbox. www.amazon.com/shop/zacsopak/list/2WXVKETXLTQAC?ref_=aipsflist_aipsfzacsopak
@@ZacSopak I appreciate you posting the link! So maybe something like the Godox SL60DIID (if it pairs with the small rig parabolic softbox) to save a few bucks as the key and the Neewer 660 for fill?

@@ZacSopak Nice!! Best wishes to you in the future!!
Great video Zak! Still a little out of my budget but looks like a great system
Yeah, I hear that. Definitely an investment. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻

Great hair
Much appreciated 👌🏻
Hello Zac, I would like to use these lights outside of the studio, for interviews in corporate environments. Would you recommend them for that use?

So would these be good for indoor vlogging and video breakdowns?
Yes. As long you have control of the lighting in your room. If there’s strong window light these could be overpowered
@@ZacSopak thanks man I appreciate
hows the CRI of the light?
It's rated as 96+ on the Lume Cube website.
