Videography, photography, and your content’s overall performance heavily rely on the lightning of different angles to get the best results.
The proper lighting can make or break the overall performance of your content, and the right tools can help you level up and avoid losing quality.
Some of the best brands that manufacture lightning equipment include Neewer, Limostudio, Emart, and this list of the best lighting for influencers includes all these high-quality names.
What to look for in the best lighting for influencers?
Choosing the right light for your work depends on the purposes for which you will need the lights, bringing things down to two essential types of lighting equipment you can utilize.
Moonlight LED is the standard option for photography lighting setups, while LED panels are less focused, enabling a wider that makes them a perfect choice for filming videos.
Some photographers may require an additional on-demand flash setup, often customizable by phone-controlled lights, but this list is mainly centered around continuous lights.
Lighting setups such as the Neewer 18.3 and Yidoblo E-2000 Daylight can be used for both purposes if working on a stable studio setup.
The most crucial aspect to look for and your lightning setup is your level of control over their direction and their versatility of use.
Photography Lighting
Photography lights work mainly to balance out light direction by absorbing the reflected light eliminating shadows or dark areas, and leaving you with sharp, detailed results
The best-value light on this list, the Emart LED Video Light 11, is a pack of two powerful LED panels perfect for all your photography and videography needs at an affordable price
The lights come with four different color filters allowing you to modify your lighting to include a range of all three primary colors with dimmable levels and a tripod for each panel
A white filter eliminates any unwanted reflections and glossary from the video, giving off a softer exposure that is more realistic and easy on the eyes.
An all-in-one softbox with a shoot-through filter that eliminates the need for any additional equipment, given its exceptional absorption and its multi-purpose use as a backlight.
The MountDog Softbox Lighting Kit takes up regular compact fluorescent lights and is sold only as a light filter. The softbox absorbs the unwanted scattered light, signaling it toward the desired direction and breaking down the direct beam.
It comes as a set of two softboxes that absorb unwanted rays and soften the projection making it a perfect option for any pure white backdrop.
A significantly more advanced option, the Yidoblo E-2000 Daylight is a barndoor design with a dimmable bead light LED panel. The light can be adjusted from a distance using a remote and, most importantly, a v-mount battery.
The battery life will last around two hours on full performance or approximately 4 hours on 50% exposure, making it convenient for emergent needs and shooting photos in remote areas or outdoors.
Another softbox pack perfect for photo taking and built to absorb unwanted rays of light, the
Raleno Photography Lighting Kit has a light-filtering system perfect for indoor photography.
The bulbs used are also standard fluorescent light bulbs of your choice, like the previously recommended MountDog softbox pack.
They also come in a box of two, with a dedicated carrying bag and two tripods.
The Raleno dual photography lighting kit is perfect for close-up shots of product photography, each customizable with up to 5500 watts.
Videography Lighting
Videography lighting is a far more powerful and basic setup that requires creators to blast as much light as possible for better exposure while adjusting to specific viewing points.
Some videos may require strong diffusers, while others are better when exposed to high lighting levels from a further away angle; through trial and error, you’ll get a good sense of ideal placement and setup.
Our favorite lighting set on this list, the Neewer 3 Pack 660, can work as photography and videography lights.
The three-pack videography setup also allows pairing two batteries with a modern design, an adjustable barndoor, and LCD digital screen at the back.
Battery life lasts 4 to 5 hours on full performance and can fully charge in less than 2 hours. However, the Neewer 480 RGB is best used for close-up videography, and you will need at least two facing opposite each other to shoot any video.
Bigger is always better in lighting up your influencer videogrophy studio or setup. The Yidoblo AI-3000C LED Panel gives you 3000w, almost six times the Neewer offers.
The broad targeted range of this powerful lighting panel allows you to place it vertically and get the best whole-body shot, mainly when used for modeling or fashion purposes.
More of a commercial studio light than a setup that you’d carry around and transport despite the two optional batteries that come in the standard package.
The Yidoblo AI-3000C LED can also be used as a single overhead light due to its widespread angles ridding you of needing another light to eliminate shadows/
One for gamers, podcasters, and headshot content creators, the GVM Key Light is a seamlessly customizable desk-mounted headshot or overhead video light.
Cabel connected or via a battery pack features a diffuser to eliminate glossiness and a foldable adjustable arm instead of a standard tripod.
Elegantly packed in minimal cases, the GVM light setup offers aperture control and brightness levels from 3200K to 5000K, easily modified with an app on your IOS or android device.
A more comprehensive and much brighter version than the recommended 660 2-pack set from Neewer, the Neewer 18.3” is almost double the price, offers an extensive range, and can change to any selected color on your phone.
Perfect for setting unique background vibes and filming close-up content; however, the diffuser on this model cannot be replaced or removed. The lights are sold separately without their battery pack, use power-saving technology, and offer more than one standard mode.
They can be set to flash, take long pauses, and change to various colors, making them an excellent option for content creators who want more control over the ambiance.
Ultimately your goal should be to balance out the true tone of your video or photo without allowing too much exposure. The Angles of your lighting setup should eliminate shadows, often requiring the purchase of more than one light.
