wow, this is the only video and person that is able to explain video led lights in a professional way. thank you very much!
Damn the one at 9:03 - gave you a PERFECT white backdrop lol
Haha! Yeah, crazy bright. My next video uses the same technique for a white background.
Dude can u give me a suggestion. I need LED to shoot at f11 iso 100 and 1/125.
@@fiermanmuch That's like saying "I'm 6' and work in an office, can you recommend me a car?" There are so many more things that need to be known before a recommendation can be made.
Bro, i have to say this, you are really the best in tutorials, you show products , examples, you know what you are saying, experienced, thanks a lot and keep going.
Just discovered your videos yesterday and has been watching every one of them. I have never learnt so much and in so detailed about videography and lightings before.
YOU. ARE. AWESOME. Please keep the videos coming :)
Can't wait for Part 2 of the Budget LED lights! I love these videos.
Coming next Tuesday!
around 9:00 i loved how bright it got in the back, separating you from the back in such a fine way i think, i sort of loved
I need some LED lights for video, and will be purchasing them through your links.
Why? This is the most comprehensively created and helpful tutorials available on the Internet.
Thank you for putting in all this time and delivering high quality results to educate!
Excellent information, clearly and succinctly presented by someone over 12 years old. Awesome!
Your videos on buying lights are especially good! Sure saves us money and speeds up the learning curve. Thank you!
Fans, which LED lights make noise and which ones are quiet, silent. I don't want fans because I don't want noise, especially during filming. And thanks for making your videos! -really helpful.
Another subject; light flickering. For when shooting slow motion video. Not all LED lights are free of flickering.
The Thumbs up to thumbs down ratio should tell you how good your videos are. In every video you are constantly putting out helpful, useful, and logical information. You get straight to the point, and really do a great job explaining everything! Great video!
Thank you James! Took a lot of bad videos to get to this point!
Haha - well the work paid off!
Spot light over flood lights huh? Really good advice.
Yep! You can always soften/widen the output but it is difficult the spot soft lights.
I know I say this with every upload, but you bring so much value in your vids. Thank you for making my channel better.
Thanks Clutch, means a lot! Glad you're digging the vids!
Dude I am starting a new channel and reworking my current one. Your videos helped me a lot. Thanks for the great content!
This video was super helpful for my selection of LED lighting for the not too distant future.Thanks for the info
This was really helpful! I actually jotted down the information on a notebook. Thanks as always!
Outstanding. I will watch the next two (0-50 and 50-100). I have just started to make videos for UA-cam and just ruined my last one because of lighting (I'm in my shop and the camera saw the overhead lights and I ended up way dark (tried to correct with Adobe Premier Elements 2018 but to get me light everything else was washed out). It always amazes me that someone will give a thumbs down on a quality video such as this. Glenn Lever
I was not aware of edge colour distortion, very good info, thx!
Your videos are always spot-on. I love the fact that you are able to get to the point, while still being interesting/entertaining. I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. Keep the vids coming!
Great video, Caleb - I'm a stutterer who's just starting my channel and am looking to buy my first set of LEDs, and this is really helpful! One suggestion for future videos: Having the 10 things to consider is fantastic, and if you can write them out in a list, maybe on the left side of the screen, and show that list each time you switch to a new point, it'll help viewers to remember what each of the 10 points are. Just an idea... Keep making fantastic content! 😀
yes part 2! ive been waiting because i want to buy the right leds with my no budget
Coming next Tuesday!
I really love your videos and have actually purchased one light already through you because of your videos. I'm planning on a second. What I'm running into is just lack of understanding of mounting the lights and placement in a space with a focal point. What does the real world setup look like? The milk-diffused lights currently appeal to me the most because of your saying you can just put them on a stand and be good. Maybe you could do a video going into more light placement and strategies along with examples of what that looks like through a camera, though? Thanks for your excellent content!
Thank you so much for lighting up my knowledge.
One more thing to consider is if the light is portable and if it comes with bags to carry and protect it when moving them to locations/traveling
Great tips! Currently my bench light setup is two old cowboy studio cfl bulbs, one with a flash diffuser on it. Works OK, but it's always nice to see what you're messing around with.
Can't wait for the $50-100 range led lights video
It'll be here next Tuesday!
really your Channel one of the best Channel about filming
Hi Caleb, yet another great video on lighting.
Few comments and criteria
1/ thermal design = good heat dissipation is important for both reliability and noise (no fans)
2/ dimmer design: I noticed some cheap lights have poor PWM dimmers which may be noticeable on video (interference of dimmer frequency with Fps) - though it seems less frequent these days
One side note : when using color gel on a daylight-only light you are actually loosing some output, as you are filtering out some wavelengths. But still a good back-up option when you need this tungsten (or blueish) tint.
Always great stuff Caleb. I actually purchased the Viltrox light from your last lighting video with your recommendation. I like it a lot. I wish I had these videos before I started my channel!
Thanks Noir! Glad you're digging the light. Great little thing!
So great video. I really love your videos and information. The best on this kind of reviews. Thanks a lot!
great video still not sure which way to go for review videos. what do you think?
Extremely informative great content 👍🏽
So great timing. I'm just looking for some video lights. Very helpful, thank you!
Happy to be of service!
Dslr video shooter i love your dark still
Great stuff. You guys are awesome. To the point, exactly the info we need, no non-sense. Thanks for the hard work.
Another awesome video full of useful tips. I am a digital photography newbie and I just subscribed. I plan to watch all of your vids. You are an excellent teacher! Michael
Nice! I just recently got some lights for my video quality to go up!
I have a nice Dracast LED and love leds but recently I had a chance to use an Arri tungsten fresnel kit and they're amazing. If you're just doing general video work then LEDs all the way but for film work I feel tungsten fresnels are the best looking option.

You have amazing information and professional videos. Best subscription I've made in while!
Aw, shucks. Thanks man!
Just got the Manfrotto Lumie Muse. Seems like a decent light for a light mobile setup.
Thanks a lot for that video! Currently working on improving my light situation, now I have a better idea what to look for.
I was slightly interested then you got my focus when you talked about "Multi chip or single chips"....damn that would have been a problem. I planning to get some lights for filming and need to cut the light. Thanks for that!!!! I know now that I'll get single chip lights! Well done!
glad i saw this before i invested in a bunch of bi-color lights. Thanks for this vid
Could you maybe do a video on simple light set ups for cheap LED lights and settings to pay attention on your camera for filming? I bought two Amaran 198 daylight lights but I have no idea what I'm doing.
Tip you missed: The mount of the LED. Some cheaper ones have a plastic built-in mount - crack it and you're in trouble. Luckily most of the LEDs have 1/4 20 on the body of the LED or a spigot hole for light stands.
I'd love to see a video about lighting outdoor.
Great work! Your videos have a ton of value. Thanks so much for your hard work!
Hey Caleb, I've been a huge fan for years! Thanks for all the great content. I wanted to request a video on how to correct LED color tints with gels. The Alzo 300 shift is killing me! Would love to see how your correct these issues. Cheers.
Great video!!!! Thank you so much for all the information!!! Ready to pick the best choice!
Thanks for video Caleb! Very helpful
Really helpful! Thank you!
Very useful video! Thank you!!
So much information! Great video!
Thanks!
Nice! A couple of things in there that I really didn't know about LEDs.
Thanks. This is very helpful.
Great video. Very informative. And timely. Due to buy some of these next week. :)
great video really helpful. Thank you for yet again another good one. keep it coming man ! 👌👌
nice work and advices, thank you
Nicely done! Thanks for the information.
ur videos are so helpful
Shubhojit Bose that is so right
Love your videos. You are doing a great job 👍
Can you do a video on using led lights for food or product photography..
Budget friendly lights.. Of course.
Awesome, exactly the advice I needed!
So useful, thanks!!
As usual ... Love the video. Keep up the good work.
*Not losing output by using single color temp lights with gels*
The gels do cut a little light out but yeah not 505 loss in power output. :) I use a Yungnuo YN300 MARK 1 (instead of the Mark 3 or Air) because it is single color and comes with nice sturdy plastic gels. Planning on buying 3 more of them. Very good light for the price.
*Power Options*
I wish my YN300 had a DC jack option. I might buy a Sony "dummy battery" but a proper power connector on the light would have been nice.
*turning multi point light (repeated shadows) into one light source*
You lose a bit of power with this but you put a peice of parchement paper (or other diffusion) in front of the light and voila!. It's better if the diffusion material is a bit further away from the light surface of course. My YN300 has barndoors so I tape the diffusion to the barndoors. that turns the diffusion into one light source that casts one shadow.
All good points as usual Eric! The last one is true, but sad that you lose the ability to cut a sharp line.
***** I can only make these great points because of people like you who have shared their knowledge with us.
Your videos are AMAZING man 👍🏻
Can u do a video showing the difference about cheapest led lights and the more expensive?
Make a video on the different gels
I have one on the way!
thanks man really appreciated
check out the light panel review on my channel it has RGB Built in + Bluetooth no need for gels
He might take what you say into consideration if you're not extremely rude about it. Like, for fuck's sake, were you not taught proper manners?
Excellent advice! Thanks so much!
Awesome video. Thanks
Great video! I'm curious to learn more about using soft boxes with LED lights. What kind of soft box setup would you recommend with which type of lights? Figure this is more relevant now that we're going upwards from the lower end budget lights.
Really nice video sir. Look forward to your next video. I am been considering to use Smart Light bulbs for small photo/video production work since they have decent level of CRI & Lumens and Colour Temps. Maybe you could do a Video on that - It'll be different content.
Thank you.
Great series! Question, for filmmaking would you have some suggestions, say lighting a 2 person conversation?
Thank you so much for the video. In combination with your other LED Lights videos, you really helped me to find the right lights for my purpose. :-)
Great info thank you.
Because the link generator is not using an https, any link I click on from behind most legit fire walls will produce a 404 error. Love your videos. Came here to go light shopping.
Do these lights also work for photography? Amazing quality of your video... Best of luck! Regards from Germany.
Great tips bro. Thanks. 👌
Nice, man! Thanks so much for the great explanations!
Looking forward to Budget lights Part 2!
Me too! It'll be here next Tuesday!
Excellent!
Finally. A useful review.
Thank you! Very useful! :)
Good stuff, Caleb! Thanks for showing the "multiple shadows" problem with some panel lights. I had wondered about that. :)
4:18 whoa whoa same number of LED's but didn't earlier you say the number isn't what matters? lol Great video btw
Cory Lusk He is making a point to show the difference between a single color and bicolor of the same model.
Thank you for the helpful info!
Awesome video! I can't wait for the next one!🖒
Thanks Chana!
Finding that you are a great source of information
THANK YOU
Nice video!
great info as usual!
I think you are doing so great that Graham won't have a room to comment on that
thanks for the great info! it's really hard to decide what to budget and what to buy! curious about fan noise in some of the lights. is the ambient noise in your audio around 4:40s from a light? thanks
I can't wait for an episode about your pc :D
so useful, thank you
great video!
My only doubt is what is the ideal level of LM/output ? Thanks, geat video
I really like your channel! I have learnt a from you. Can you make a video of hov to set focus in different shots in a one man studio?
Great video.
very interesting and helpful !
Glad you enjoyed it Moritz!
Thanks for the great review of the Smartrig +, actually bought one to use it with a Rode ntg 4+, works out phenomenally!
Finally no cheap in camera audio or post syncing, thank you!
Along with those, I learned that cheap lights have cheap mounts. They don't hold their position and feel like they will break - as in cheap plastic.
Thanks for this!!!
Great info! But why only led?
