Camera lights, kits and panels
Video lights for cameras are the general type: lights that mount on or near a camera and light the subject in front of it. They suit a creator who works alone, where the light must travel with the camera and be set up quickly. Video light kits bundle several lights into a set that covers a scene from more than one angle, which suits interviews and small productions where one light would leave harsh shadows.
Video light panels spread light over a wide, even area, which suits interviews, product shots and small studios. A panel's evenness is its quality: a panel that lights unevenly will show in the recording as bright and dark patches. A kit's value is its coverage: several lights from several angles, controlled together, give a scene depth that one light cannot.
Portable and studio lights
Portable LED lights are the on-location type: lights that travel with the creator and run where mains power may not be available. Their portability is their quality, and a portable light that is too heavy or too awkward to carry will stay behind. Studio video lights are the fixed type: lights for a room used repeatedly for the same kind of shoot, where setup time matters less than consistency.
Photography video lights overlap with all of these, because a light that serves video often serves still photography as well, with different demands on colour and consistency. A buyer who needs both video and stills should say so, because the light that suits one may not suit the other, and the inquiry should name both uses.
What to ask next
Name the scene and the space the light must serve, the quantity you have in mind, and the market you sell into. Ask for the specification for the exact type, the quantity terms, the lead time, and the certificates for your market, by name, with documents attached. The bulk video light inquiry page lists these confirmations.
Before payment, confirm the minimum order quantity and lead time for your order. Certificates are available upon request.
