Dude, this was the exactly content I was looking for. It was incredibly helpful!

Great stuff. I am bookmarking this one for when I am considering buying my next light. The tip to use tube lights in the horizontal position when creating a key light on a person - so useful.
So happy to hear you found it useful!

The value I didn’t know I needed. Thank you.
Thank you for watching the video and leaving such a nice comment! 🙏 🙏
I've bought a few lights and have been overwhelmed by do many You Rube reviews on the latest and greatest whatever. Im a beginner starting to get G.A S. Gear Aquisition Syndrome. Thank you for helping me see beyond the hype, get back on track, and use what I have already. So very helpful. Thank you.
Glad to hear you found the video useful!! The best lights are by far the ones you own already and don't need to spend money on. I am very guilty of constantly forgetting that also 😂😂😂
I am doing photography and I need to take pictures of color prints, what I care most about is even lighting. I tried shooting it with speedlite and light bulbs but they're so hard to evenly lit the prints. Looks like LED panel is the most ideal setup for this task. Thanks.
Great Teaching! Thank You! Just Starting Out!
Thank you!

Bro been using tubes for a while never as a key, I didnt know that vertical vs horizontal. makes sense though being a bigger wrap in horizontal making softer light. Great stuff man!
It's the little things!! Thank you!
I got an aputure ls60x and infinibar for my first light. Very impressed! Currently defusing the ls60x through a 5 in 1 reflector
Such a good way to use that LS60x. Love thay light!
Very good video! Would've been happy to know that back in the day when i've started. Got too distracted with some small panels with a bad diffusion which limited the possibilities.
I did the same thing with the buy one get one cheaper panels on the market, wondering why I couldn't get certain looks!
Sourcie “or evil” 😂😂😂
Great info buddy.
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Great summary.

very nice. thank you
Thank you too!
Great video!!
Thank you! Means a lot coming from you and your channel! 🙏🙏🙏
Have you looked into the CRLS reflector kits at all? It's another reason the point source lights are so amazing, since with these reflectors you can bounce and diffuse that single source to many areas on a set.
I have only had the chance to play with them on set for a day. I'd love to get my hands on them for a longer period (you out there lightbridge? I'm available for a review! lol). I agree that they increase the usefulness of a point source even more!!
Thank you for all your videos! I'm just starting to produce my own short videos (indoor) and your product reviews and pro tips have been immensely helpful. 🙏
Would you recommend a specific combination of point source lights for shooting these videos in a relatively small room? Do you think it would be better to get a less powerful fill light or buy two of the same and just dim the fill light compared to the key light?
I'm glad you've been finding the content useful! If you're just starting out, then I'd recommend the amaran 300c as a key light, maybe a second if you really wanna ball out as a room light, and get one of the amaran 1 or 2 foot tubes for a hair light. With their 2' softbox the whole kit should be less than like $800 from my quick mental math.
Just noticed the Tim Reaper poster! Big up all jungliest massif. Greetings from Dublin!
gotta get that bass in the face on the weekends ;)
Thanks :)
glad to be of help!
Am I the only one who feels like this guy want to fight me?
Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way
😂
😂😂😂
I do wanna fight ya lol
Hi, thank you for your educational content😊 I want to ask a question. Do you use filter on your shots for example black mist filter or etc.?
I use 1/4 pro mist filter since I like the bloom!
what a good output watt against sunlight
You'll need a 1200d through thicker diffusion or a 600d through something thinner if you'd like to retain highlight detail in a blue sky out a window while still lighting the subject properly. It takes a LOT of light.
Great video. Thanks a lot. I will buy a Godox silent light in bicolor. What is a good strategy to buy modifiers as a beginner, to be flexible and cover the most relevant use cases? Lanterns, umbrellas, softboxes (round or square), parabolic reflectors...?
Buy Bowens mount modifiers - pretty much every light these days uses that attachment style. Otherwise my most used modifiers are a 3' and 5' round softbox. I'd suggest a 2' or 3' one to start depending on space, and then see how that fits your needs and go from there!
cool vid and great tips brought to you by Theon Greyjoy. Tank you !
Thank you! I'm happy you found the video useful 🙏🙏🙏
4:35 - comparison of the output of the panel vs CoB with reflector is not fair ... compare the CoB with the softbox, when diffusion cuts 2 stops and light is lost inside the softbox too :D.
Point sources aren't always used with a softbox though, so in this case a direct comparison is more than appropriate.
@@thegranitegaffer Yes, but you wouldn't use panel as a point source anyway. So it's a bit like comparing apples to oranges and saying one of them is better. If someone is a newbie might be surprised.
My 600D generates 22000 lux at 1m, but with 90cm softbox with 2 stops diffusion it's just 9600 lux, so less than a half.
reflector
What type of lights for a news stand for reporter on TV panel or point lights. Need a kit now
Hey Keith, feel free to DM me on IG and I'll help you out!
What is that attachment connecting the f22 to the grip arm? Not a Matthews magic finger... looks handy!

That's a knuckle head, ya knuckle head! Lol it actually IS very useful, highly recommended for the $35 it costs.

Thank you so much ..
But I think I missed the mark on the last bit on Daylight vs Bi Lights .. can someone please explain to me? 😅
Hey, what part isn't clear to you? I can try explaining it a different way!
Thank you @@thegranitegaffer
I got a bit confused by "Having the more output when the sun is near your frame." but I think I get it now, If you care to elaborate though that would be awesome.
Currently thinking of buying my first ever light in an inflated economy, I'm intimidated by choices and an informed purchase is so important.. Would I really need the color temperature bi option? .. Can't we achieve similar results in post?
If I mainly shoot indoors(Product and portraits and videos), no budget to afford extra lights for a while and will rely more on reflectors.. should I go something like Amaran 200D or something like Godox SL100BI?
Again, Thank you for making such an amazing content, you've been really helpful. Love from Egypt ♥
