Hey mate! Managed to just find them in IKEA today - the name is "Mittled". I'd link them but I think I only have access to the Australian IKEA website haha. Hope that helps though??
clicked on this immediately cause lighting is something i've always struggled with in my room to the point that i've just kept my lights off for most of the time
the bit where you color shifted the "pretty much just try to reduce contrast" text to be less contrasted against the rest of the frame as you're talking about how that reduces eye fatigue?? brilliant *chefs kiss*
Honestly, this is a banger. Been trying to figure out how to add a bit of warmth to my workspace because my downlights are so cold and bright. IKEA time, thanks boss!
I never thought i'd watch a comprehensive video about lighting a room, but your aestetics, editing and overall vibe just hook me with every video Avi, keep them coming!
i live in a small flat and I've been searching for ways to improve my room lighting and then this video pops up. You were able to express your creativity and how you manage to light the room very well! and I gotta say its inspiring! thanks mate. Keep up the good work
What you mentioned at 1:36… I believe it has a term called “relative luminance”. It’s a ratio between the ‘brightness’ (luminance) of the task area to the surrounding area (it depends a lot on the colour and distance of the surrounding area). But over all, too big ratio (in this case, either your screen is too bright and your surrounding light is too dim, or vice versa) = too contrast = causing eye strain, which might make you feel a dull headache after a period of time. In some cases can trigger migraine. So yes! The analogy about taking picture out of the window makes perfect sense! I came across your video and was pleasantly surprised when you mention that! Sorry for geeking out, great video!
This comes at the perfect time! I‘m going to move into a new apartment soon and thinking a lot about how to light it. Thanks for the inspiration, love the diverse design-related content you are putting out 🙌
The most helpful advice in this video for me as a beginner is the "harsh vs diffuse" and " work spots" because my room ended up being to dark but now it makes more sense on what lighting i need to purchase
As a lover of good Keyboard content, this is exactly what I've been looking for! Lol. Well done, and thank you! Lights are far too often "Too Much". I'm always irritated at lights helping less with seeing what I intend to look at and more make me look at the light. Overhead lights try to illuminate it all but that means they aren't defused and feel like a flash bang if you ever look anywhere near their direction. Overhead office lights are scattered to perfectly always have at least one blasting your retnas all day as you stare into the equally blue pc screens 😅. So I've been wanting to learn this skill to create that inviting glowing room that you basically forget lights are on at all. Subtle and sensible is what I think you've achieved and I love that. 👍
There's also accent lighting which lands in the middle; like a spotlight lighting up an artwork, texture on a wall or like the lighting on your plant. Generally use less accent lighting in small space, but it can help create some drama. Love from Melbourne
I really liked the format of this video, the resolution. It's not like a standard wide screen video, more a 4:3. Really gives it a cozy or professional quality vibe.
2:50 ish: kelvin as in the temperature. Color temperature as in heat. How hot a piece of metal has to get to glow in that color temperature. 3500k is the color that a wire will glow at when it's 3500 degrees kelvin.
I was searching for a different video about lighting and light sources. But stumble upon your video and actually watched the whole thing, enjoyable and good video.
This is super helpful! Def branch out more into more topics in your videos. Would love to learn more about how you get inspo or a day in the life of being a full-time creative (is that what you call it?)
In case somebody cares about the kelvin scale, it works this way: - Kelvin is am easure of temperature (usually); - Colors near the red have less energy while colors near the violet have more; - temperature = energy, so the higher the temperature (kelvin) the closer to violet the colour is; The reason we call them warm and cold lights is because we associate them with regions that are colder or warmer even tho "cold lights" have more energy there fore more temperature. I think I explained it fairly well.
Speaking of cozy, your videos are! Maybe it's the aspect ratio or the camera or a little bit of everything, but I love the cinematography of your videos. Keep up the good work!
Lord Kelvin is one of the most important mathematical physicists in history. The Kelvin scale for lighting temperature is i think derived from the light you get from heating something up to that many degrees Kelvin. ( a measure of temperature like celsius or Fahrenheit) ❤
This is such great advice on how to light a space. Quick video and engaging, and I liked the inclusion of the IKEA lights and how to set them up. Thanks!
For anyone wondering, the K scale gets colder as the number gets larger because that's the ~roughly~ temperature of a piece of metal heated to that temperature.
nice! this might be the only channel I'd trust with lighting advice haha convenience is cool, but I like seeing the space light up slowly with a more tactile feedback
If you’re designing something cozy here’s a hack I found to work for me. Pick a color temperature slightly BELOW 2700k. Standard light bulbs sold at stores only go down to 2700k (soft white) but sometimes you can find vintage bulbs or amber tinted bulbs that are between 2200 - 2500k. This slightly lower temperature is more “orange” looking but as long as it’s above 2000K it looks fine and it makes the space look very cozy, almost as if it is lit by candlelights
Yes, the numbers he’s throwing out are totally wrong and will lead to a horribly cold space. Even the color chart he throws up is wrong, but simultaneously his room looks nice so he must just have the number wrong.
Great video Avi! Love the tips as I also use this recipe for my own space. Also great vibe and video editing. Another tip on the IKEA smart bulb is that you can also get the one which can change colors. By that I don't mean the crazy RGB colors but the adjustable white tones ones. I highly recommend as I personally use them in my workspace/bedroom. Basically you can adjust it to create different modes for the room. For example I'd love to have the 4000K cool white for my highly focusing mode, the 2700K warmer white for more relaxing activities and the 2200K really warm white - almost yellow tone for when I'm chilling in my bed - and it's cool that they're also dimmable!. It's super helpful for people who live in such a small space like me that we can adapt the lights for different activities.
A harsh source isn't necessarily small and a diffused not necessarily large. it's more about how the light get's shaped or if there's some kind of diffusing material infront of your lamp
The word for what you're calling "harsh" is "specular" - the opposite of diffuse. Like sunshine on a clear day: crisp, defined shadows. #PleaseLetMeUseWhatILearnedInFilmSchool
The Kelvin scale for light temperature is derived from this : Any mass emits light depending on temperature, we just cant see it. We humans emit in infrared at 37°C, but if you heat a metal piece it'll start to glow red then whiter and whiter The light emitted shifts from infrared to uv while the temperature increases (our Sun emits bc its hella hot just like a very hot iron bar) That's why a blue flame is hotter than an red one, and a blue star is hotter than a red one A 6700K would be the color emitted by a mass at 6700 Kelvin (arround 6400°C - 11 600 °F)
Hey Avi, was just wondering. Do you stick the Mittled light on the back of your PC or under your desk? Could you make a video explaining how you connected all the lights to the IKEA wireless features. Thank you!
Hey Avi, thanks for such a great video, love your sense of style! What type of lights did you use for your shelves above your monitors? I have a similar layout myself. Thanks!
Really loved the video man, this is the exact vibe i'm going for in my room. Btw, what is your table lamp called (the one on the right)? Like it very much
My office has those super bright daylight overhead lights. I give up on trying to make it cozy because the overhead lights will just over power the warm lighting that I wanted to do.
I'm looking into wanting to make my space much more cozy and creative i'm in a basement for it so more orange lighting or anything to mimic natural light would 100% be important at least to me
For the temperature light, it seem reverse but it's not. We live in a world where lava and Sun are red and yellow and where cold water and ice are blue. But we often forget that when studying a flame, the more blue it is, the hotter it is !
Great video! I Subscribed. I'll put a few more on my watch later list Also, interesting aspect ratio. Any reason for that? Kinda fits the cozy vibes of your office
2:47 The temperature here refers to the colour of a 'blackbody' at this temperature. A blackbody is a perfect object that reflects no light (i.e. is perfectly black) so only emits light due to heat radiating from it. The colour of the light emitted depends only on the temperature of the object. Think of a piece of hot metal in a blacksmith's that glows red hot. The hotter it is, the more blue it looks, think of the hot white sparks from welding. The same is true for stars, the hotter ones look more blue (e.g. red giants are called that because they are fairly cool at the surface and so appear red, and the opposite for white dwarfs). So that's why the bluer lighting corresponds to a higher temperature. Sunlight is about 5000K, because surprise surprise the actual 'surface' temperature of the Sun is about that.
This kind of lighting does look the best in bedrooms and other types of leisure rooms like that. Unfortunately my appartment is just one room (plus the bathroom) so I feel like it would definitely feel off since it would also include the kitchen :/
The reason why light (which is just energy) gets “colder” or more blue with higher temperature is because blue wavelengths have more energy than red wavelengths. Essentially, blue is actually hotter hence the higher temperature. For example, blue stars are hotter than red stars. This can be confusing because on Earth we associate cold with blue and heat with red. So blue light is not getting colder per se but simply getting brighter. That’s technically speaking but I understand what you mean by the light is getting “colder”, you’re just referring to the feel or coziness of the light.
Hey Avi, are you able to link to the light bars you are using to backlight your screens?
Hey mate! Managed to just find them in IKEA today - the name is "Mittled". I'd link them but I think I only have access to the Australian IKEA website haha. Hope that helps though??
gosh, this is how I just want to light, everything. It's so nice and cozy feeling.
lesgoooo
clicked on this immediately cause lighting is something i've always struggled with in my room to the point that i've just kept my lights off for most of the time
what? that sounds more like depression than a lighting problem... or do you mean when it's not dark/dim outside?
@@felity1773 yeah i more meant i only let outside light in and don't turn on my overhead light ever
the bit where you color shifted the "pretty much just try to reduce contrast" text to be less contrasted against the rest of the frame as you're talking about how that reduces eye fatigue?? brilliant *chefs kiss*
man can notice the details thank u thank u
Honestly, this is a banger. Been trying to figure out how to add a bit of warmth to my workspace because my downlights are so cold and bright. IKEA time, thanks boss!
glad it's a bit of help dude!!
I never thought i'd watch a comprehensive video about lighting a room, but your aestetics, editing and overall vibe just hook me with every video Avi, keep them coming!
Thank you so much man!!!
@@AvinashKunjamboo anytime! You deserve it
As soon as I turned 19 my brain did a full 180 from "Gaming lights" to warm cozy lighting like this. Very helpful video.
Nice edit Avi, pleasure to tute you at Uni. Great to see what you have been up to! Keep rolling the content 😎
Ah shit thank you Ben!!! We should keep in touch! ✌️
i live in a small flat and I've been searching for ways to improve my room lighting and then this video pops up. You were able to express your creativity and how you manage to light the room very well! and I gotta say its inspiring! thanks mate. Keep up the good work
Thank you dude!!! Glad it was of help
glad to know I already lit my space following this formula, it’s definitely the best way to have a cozy work environment

This is so interesting! No need to apologise at all - will definitely be keeping this one in mind haha. Thanks mate!
Dynamic range too
Will definitely be coming back to this video when I move into a new place and start furnishing
this is so so good, will be looking back at this in 3 years when I have my own space
“Idk who kelvin is but”😂😂 loved it man! Definitely gonna try this out on my space!😊
HAHA thank you man! Always stoked to see ya here
This comes at the perfect time! I‘m going to move into a new apartment soon and thinking a lot about how to light it. Thanks for the inspiration, love the diverse design-related content you are putting out 🙌
hell yeah man thank you! and congrats on the new place!
This advice BLEW MY MIND, thank you so much, my house is going to look amazing now.
Working on designing a new art studio / UA-cam filming space right now, and this video was great! Thank you!!
Thanks so much! Glad it was of help haha
I'm about to move into a house soon and this video is gonna help me when planning out the spaces and lighting in the house.🥺
The most helpful advice in this video for me as a beginner is the "harsh vs diffuse" and " work spots" because my room ended up being to dark but now it makes more sense on what lighting i need to purchase
As a lover of good Keyboard content, this is exactly what I've been looking for! Lol.
Well done, and thank you!
Lights are far too often "Too Much".
I'm always irritated at lights helping less with seeing what I intend to look at and more make me look at the light.
Overhead lights try to illuminate it all but that means they aren't defused and feel like a flash bang if you ever look anywhere near their direction.
Overhead office lights are scattered to perfectly always have at least one blasting your retnas all day as you stare into the equally blue pc screens 😅.
So I've been wanting to learn this skill to create that inviting glowing room that you basically forget lights are on at all. Subtle and sensible is what I think you've achieved and I love that. 👍
There's also accent lighting which lands in the middle; like a spotlight lighting up an artwork, texture on a wall or like the lighting on your plant. Generally use less accent lighting in small space, but it can help create some drama. Love from Melbourne
Ah shit true! Completely forgot this one. Thanks mate! So close by!
I really liked the format of this video, the resolution. It's not like a standard wide screen video, more a 4:3. Really gives it a cozy or professional quality vibe.

Awesome analogy of helping your eyes and the example of taking pictures out of a window.

This is the mist easiest way to understand how to design lights in a room! Thank you somuchh
this is exactly what i needed to see! moving to a new flat where i have no windows in my bedroom so im going as cosy as possible to compensate
amazing mate! let me know how you go. i've just moved into a new place myself so i'm glad you're getting some benefit from this!
Lord Kelvin is one of the most important mathematical physicists in history. The Kelvin scale for lighting temperature is i think derived from the light you get from heating something up to that many degrees Kelvin. ( a measure of temperature like celsius or Fahrenheit) ❤
Thank you Avi, now I'll be scouring my nearest Ikea for lamps. Awesome tips though! I think you should do more videos like this.
haha thank you! very much noted
I love this. A simple few simple concepts that I can easily apply to my space and be excited about doing so.
This is such great advice on how to light a space. Quick video and engaging, and I liked the inclusion of the IKEA lights and how to set them up. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Much appreciated
For anyone wondering, the K scale gets colder as the number gets larger because that's the ~roughly~ temperature of a piece of metal heated to that temperature.
you made exactly the video i was looking for. I had seen these videos, im working on my space, and hopping for something longer-form. thanks!
This video is really helpful!! I really enjoyed hearing about the IKEA smart bulbs. They sound like a gamechanger for cozy lighting. Thank you!
nice! this might be the only channel I'd trust with lighting advice haha
convenience is cool, but I like seeing the space light up slowly with a more tactile feedback

Should point out that 4000K is not actually cool. It's still warm. 5500-6500 is neutral. Anything below is warm, anything higher is cool.
@@artonzeif962 my bad , I guess it's to still be usable in living spaces, not the cool hospital white.
A harsh source isn't necessarily small and a diffused not necessarily large. it's more about how the light get's shaped or if there's some kind of diffusing material infront of your lamp
holy heck im only like 30 seconds into this video but its already shot and edited SOOO NICELY??? wow im excited to keep watching
WTF I DIDNT KNOW IKEA HAD SMART LIGHTING HOLY SHIT
thanks for the helpful tips :D
@@LuckyLifeguard haha thank you so much! glad you got something out of it
Thank you big man, i gotta fix my room lighting now
1:13 is such a mood 😂😂😂 thanks for the great tips Avi!!
I am in love with your room! Can we get a tour please?
I have a set up tour for that room but since then I've moved! Gotta get onto making videos again haha
i love this!! i miss being able to buy lamps- now i live in a sch q
accommodation so it’ll be a nightmare to ship later on when i move out :(
An hour late from Avi's premiere is a crime. Bingus.
(I'm hoping for more cinematography tips)
Noted king
FIRSTTTT!!! THIS IS THE TYPE OF CONTENT I NEED
totally gonna implement these ideas! Thanks for the tips
Thanks a bunch mate! Glad it helped
Super cozy and useful light in this room, great video, thanks!
thank you!!!
For work lights I prefer linear overhead light sources because they almost completely eliminate shadows.
Shout out to a fellow Adelaidean. Would love to see an office/apartment tour.
I didn’t want a home office until now😍 We’re on! Nice Video Homie

RGB globes are fun to play with, you can change through the whole colour range.

this is very helpful as the lighting in my bedroom sucks rn lol and i’m trying to create more ambiance ☆ bingus
For the temperature light, it seem reverse but it's not.
We live in a world where lava and Sun are red and yellow and where cold water and ice are blue.
But we often forget that when studying a flame, the more blue it is, the hotter it is !

Love this type of content. Just wondering, what lamp are you using on the desk to light the desk and keyboard/mouse?
i second this. we need it!!
Great video! I Subscribed. I'll put a few more on my watch later list
Also, interesting aspect ratio. Any reason for that? Kinda fits the cozy vibes of your office
Thank you so much! Haha honestly the aspect ratio was just a stylistic choice for a bit but now my camera actually shoots 3:2 so I've just left it
hey mate, which camera are you using? looks awesome! :)
Amazing video - I have so much to learn from you 🌞
Subbed!!!
Hi, what font did you use for the title at 0:39? Thank you
looks like the riccione font family, probably light, with low letter spacing
This was shot rlly well dang man
basically 0 k is the lowest temp ever processed and its used for stars and planet colours, 0 k is -273 something i think!
interesting! i had no idea hahaha
I change the colour temp with my smart globes all the time!
