ive been thinking of buying the Cool Flo kit for my videos all i do is comedy sketch and vlog/reviews will that be good ???, would you be able to reply in a inbox message please
im doing a bathroom scene, are the fluorescent lights in the bathroom the same as the cfl bulbs the same? I so I don't have much money for a complete setup. whats the best lighting option? and whats the watts for the indoor lights?
@candicelews No, unfortunately, the lights in your bathroom are most likely not the same as professional lights. They could burn at a different color temperature. You can always try shooting with just your bathroom lights to see if that will work, but I wouldn't recommend mixing and matching your bathroom lights with the CF bulbs.
Hello i have a clothing brand and i do videos and photography but what i really want it so i can take really clear pictures with people in my clothing?
Do all of these lights need outlets to plug into because i was looking for more of a portable wireless light kit do you know if they have any of these lights i would really like to know.
Thank you for the information...if you have time to answer this question it would be much appreciated....what about lighting for a very small subject (animals). The vids I am doing are going to be the same over and over. Please see my channel for example. Thank you very much!
@thepaintingferrets I think soft lighting would be a good way to go for you. One or two fluorescent lights should probably do the trick. Just try not to blow out your animals with too much light. (Fluorescent lights also don't heat up, so your animals will remain comfortable and not want to run away from the glow of hotter lights.)
@tubetape Thank you for replying. I ended up going with two Halogen work lamps (cheapy route). They do the job I guess. If I ever need to upgrade I'll look you guys up.
@tubetape Thank you for replying. I ended up going with two Halogen work lamps (cheapy route). They do the job I guess. If I ever need to upgrade I'll look you guys up.
@MrAshtonRenae It is possible to have home-made lighting kits. Usually they are not comparable to high end lighting, however they can get the job done, depending on what you are shooting.
I need to light someone at a webcam doing business conferences, with a painted wall or green screen behind him. My idea (from what's on tubetape.com) is to use a softbox for the key light, umbrella for fill, and another umbrella for back light, all using 300w fluorescents. Is this a good idea or bad?
@tunghoy I might try using two softboxes on the backdrop and then light your subject separately with two (or maybe three) lights, either softboxes or umbrellas. Your original idea might work fine, I am just concerned that you may need more light than normal because you are using a webcam. They traditionally do not have that great of a picture, so you may have to do some over-compensating with the light setup
A company that specializes in affordable and top of the line LED lighting is Intellytech who was awesome to work with. Check out this website, wwwDOT it-photovideo DOTcom. You can also google them, "Intellytech." They sell lights just like Litepanels but are so much less expensive and are actually brighter!!! They have extremely accurate color temperatures and are very lightweight and durable. Have bought over 20 lights from them. Each time I had them on my doorstep 3 days after I paid.
@evilbunnyreviews No, you don't have to. With a standard 3 point light set up, a hair light is used because it makes for a visually interesting and dynamic shot. It all depends on what you have to work with and what look you are going for.
I make small dance videos and iam planning to make a concept movie....so like i have set up a green screen in my room and i just want 2 capture some short footages but the lights in my room is dim so im looking for something that can lightup the object on the green screen nd it has to be portable nd small so that it can be kept in my cupboard......plzzzzzz help me with this thing nd give me a suggestion...i would rly appreciate ur help thank u....
@rkdancer1 I would go for the EZ softboxes. Look on our site Tubetape.com. You can go with two EZ softboxes in a small room and that will be more than enough light. They are easy to put together and break down for good storage.
Epic overview, thanks for the information...I learned a lot and I feel much more comfortable, knowing the pros and cons of light kits. Very much appreciated.
Hey Mark :) .. tell me !! .. The cool-flo lights, can I use any kind of umbrella ? I mean I am not filming in HD ..but I want better light ... So I was just wondering if I could have the same result using 4 bulbs like yourse and a simple umbrella ...
@ashare06 You will get more wattage with our MX 3 light kit than with Britek. It all depends on how large of an area you are shooting and how much coverage you need.
what kit can i use to record me on video webcam?? basically i sit in front of a camera and talk. i want the background to be pure white and my face to be nicely lit with no shadows. there MUST be something nice and portable or small enough for this setup.
@scir91 We have a few different combo kits to choose from on our main site, if you would like to browse. You will want to have at least two lights and a background screen. Try and choose softboxes with diffuser panels in order to do away with harsh shadows.
@ryolo132 We ship worldwide via FedEx. We can give you an quote for shipping if you email our sales team: sales@tubetape.com. They will be happy to assist you.
I don't really care about how professional it looks, I'm a little more concerned with the results. I really wish you had showed the results provided by every kit, not just the equipment itself, which isn't all that helpful IMO
I have the work light, It works pretty good but I can kinda see the outline of green on my object. So i was thinking about buying A Ql 100 Watt Light head and a soft box. Would it be good to have both lights or would that ruin it?
@RichiePatrick While both are halogen lights so they could work together, the work lamp is very strong direct light & the QL is variable diffused light. If you do it right it can work, but if not you risk some serious hot spots. We'd suggest just sticking with a 3 point QL lighting system. Hope that helps.
I got a question. I want start doing portraits. I don't have a studio, but i'm thinking of being a mobile photographer..as in I'll go to a customer's house with my equipment. What kit do you recommend and do you know of a good place to buy it. Thanks.
Hey there tubetape, I'm thinking of purchasing a Westcott ulite kit, and I'm wondering if you have a better set to recommend for the same money. I'm trying to set up a studio as cheaply as possible. THANKS!
@anaranjadoX375 Great question. 110v is for the US & 220v is for some areas outside of the US - for a complete explanation check out: tubetape.net/servlet/the-template/Voltage/Page
If the effect is noticeable as it is in this video, then whats the point? U get what u pay for. Tech gets better by the second so if you buy cheap you just threw away 40% to 60 % of your money to get half the quality & more hassle. Meantime the person that bought quality gets more use out of purchase for longer period with professional quality. If your on a budget look into EBY 300/600 T5 H.O. florescent fixt. by LA Lighting, many color temps available. Best for studio buy can be made portable.

i bought some haloge quartz lights but when i set toward the green screen it lights up the greenscreen but leaving circle spot lights on the screen, hope you understand what i mean, thanks
@petenicezz You're experiencing what's called a "hot spot". Try angling the light so that it's not pointing directly at the screen, move the light back away from the screen a bit or for best results use diffused lighting (soft box or umbrella). Hope this helps.

I got the QL1000 a few months ago. THEY SUCKS... they make way to much noise.. and they charge you way to much for it.. I got a set of 3.. i thought it was a good deal.. BUt it did not come with reflector cup or any barndoors.. i paid over 200+ for it.. which is a rip off...
I have a QL1000 for sale.. if any one is interested pls email me. Thanks
halogen-quartz bulbs ARE incandescent bulbs, incandescent just means that it's a filament structure (a thin filament of metal encased in an inert gas so that it won't ignite when heated enough that it incandesces). The only thing that makes Halogen bulbs so different is the materials used; tungsten filament, halogen gas, and a quartz-glass bulb, which means it can go MUCH hotter (thus brighter, thus prettier) than conventional incandescent bulbs.

OK so all this lighting kit ive seen on you tube no one has come up with a good portable battery powered lighting system that will NOT cost a fortune like the LED light panels there must be a pro-sumer alternative for night field use,and why does nobody film in the dark other than Pro production companys? it cant be that hard to do???
Hey just watched a video prophotolife, and i am a true beginner. He used a soft box that used a replaceable front diffuser I guess they yellow over time it also had an inner removable diffuser to further soften light. What I really liked was a white inner surface that could be removed to expose a silver that can be flipped over to gold to warm an image now if i could just find one. Cheers m8
Thanks. I ended up buying a kit of eBay (three lights, three umbrellas, three stands, and a large green screen with stands all for about $300). I tell you, will all the fluffy videos on YouTube, someone could make a lot of money if they would stop being vague and start selling nice kits. No offense to the guy who made this video, but it's all sizzle and little steak.
All sizzle little steak, that sums up a lot of youtube videos lol! You wanna know the number one question on youtube? Hey what's the name of that song. LMAO!
you really shouldn't be yellowing (burning out) your boxes. Generally the diffusion panel is removable so that you can swap out different grades of material and use different qualities of diffusion.
Cool video! Thank you so much for these invaluable tips! I'd go for light kits, using Full Spectrum light's like Viva-Lite, Ott-lite (Color temp=5500K) which gives you true colors like Natural Daylight, although it's a bit expensive. Energy consumed while using these lights are much less. So it could be a greener choice, considering that these lamps lasts much longer than incandescent lamps.
Yeah that's right, Viva-Lite lamps are great for photography. It's color rendering index is near 100, and you get the pictures as good as you've shot with natural daylight.
An amateur such as yourself can just go to a hardware store and pick up some incandescent clip lights (or any other lights at the store)--they'll be cheap but they work and get the job done for home video projects.
Thanks for clarifying the fact that hot lights, motion picture type lights can be used for digital photography as well, much more controllable than strobes, despite the heat.
Hey tubetape, I'm thinking of buying one of your cool flo lights, I saw one listed on your site for only 59$, You guys are definitely the cheapest chromakey/lighting/software producers ont he net!
Thanks! One of the top answers in google when I was searching for lighting kits.

I got the QL1000 a few months ago. THEY SUCKS... they make way to much noise.. and they charge you way to much for it.. I got a set of 3.. i thought it was a good deal.. BUt it did not come with reflector cup or any barndoors.. i paid over 200+ for it.. which is a rip off...
I have a QL1000 for sale.. if any one is interested pls email me. Thanks

Ql1000's are noisy as hell. I bought these and was very disappointed with the noise factor. Useless for any kind of interview set up. Sorry Tubetape.

Do they sell heat sink's for the QL 1000?

halogen-quartz bulbs ARE incandescent bulbs, incandescent just means that it's a filament structure (a thin filament of metal encased in an inert gas so that it won't ignite when heated enough that it incandesces). The only thing that makes Halogen bulbs so different is the materials used; tungsten filament, halogen gas, and a quartz-glass bulb, which means it can go MUCH hotter (thus brighter, thus prettier) than conventional incandescent bulbs.

Thanks!
You forgot the old "Tomas" lights.
they are white, and strong.
the big ones are VERY HOT bulbs... 1500W
but you can get small portable 150W white light.
but Thank s anyway.

Is it safe plugging these into a wall? Or would you need a generator or battery pack of some sort... thank you!
rodstewartfungus 2 years ago
OK so all this lighting kit ive seen on you tube no one has come up with a good portable battery powered lighting system that will NOT cost a fortune like the LED light panels there must be a pro-sumer alternative for night field use,and why does nobody film in the dark other than Pro production companys? it cant be that hard to do???
woodlanduk 2 years ago 2
extension cords and generators, generators are nice but can be noisy and expensive. you also may be able to power a few low wattage lights from a car

Cool video but I still dont understand why I should choose umbrella or lightbox setup...
format6 2 years ago 2
I agree. I've watched a half-dozen videos and they all seem to be fluff. I too want to know: UMBRELLA OR SOFT BOX!?
northwestmike 2 years ago
both.. umbrella gives a broad coverage of light and a soft box can contain an aim the light to one specific spot.. i say both
mexiking2365 2 years ago
Hey just watched a video prophotolife, and i am a true beginner. He used a soft box that used a replaceable front diffuser I guess they yellow over time it also had an inner removable diffuser to further soften light. What I really liked was a white inner surface that could be removed to expose a silver that can be flipped over to gold to warm an image now if i could just find one. Cheers m8

Thanks. I ended up buying a kit of eBay (three lights, three umbrellas, three stands, and a large green screen with stands all for about $300). I tell you, will all the fluffy videos on YouTube, someone could make a lot of money if they would stop being vague and start selling nice kits. No offense to the guy who made this video, but it's all sizzle and little steak.
northwestmike 2 years ago
All sizzle little steak, that sums up a lot of youtube videos lol! You wanna know the number one question on youtube? Hey what's the name of that song. LMAO!
0714boskittles 2 years ago
you really shouldn't be yellowing (burning out) your boxes. Generally the diffusion panel is removable so that you can swap out different grades of material and use different qualities of diffusion.

Cool video! Thank you so much for these invaluable tips! I'd go for light kits, using Full Spectrum light's like Viva-Lite, Ott-lite (Color temp=5500K) which gives you true colors like Natural Daylight, although it's a bit expensive. Energy consumed while using these lights are much less. So it could be a greener choice, considering that these lamps lasts much longer than incandescent lamps.
augustuscpj 2 years ago 6
Yeah that's right, Viva-Lite lamps are great for photography. It's color rendering index is near 100, and you get the pictures as good as you've shot with natural daylight.

Would a one buld umbrella light be a good step for some one just starting to get together a light kit? I'm 14 and don't have much money to spend

An amateur such as yourself can just go to a hardware store and pick up some incandescent clip lights (or any other lights at the store)--they'll be cheap but they work and get the job done for home video projects.

I'm looking at upgrading from my Halogen Flood Lights...
And it is great to know that I need to get air-cooled not fan cooled as I'm going to be using it for video recordings.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks for clarifying the fact that hot lights, motion picture type lights can be used for digital photography as well, much more controllable than strobes, despite the heat.
