How to choose a lighting kit
Small rooms benefit from diffuse softboxes to avoid harsh shadows; open spaces can use direct LED panels with modifiers.
Look for CRI > 90 for skin tones. Variable color temperature gives flexibility across locations and time of day.
Battery-powered panels suit run-and-gun creators; AC-powered softboxes often deliver more consistent output for studio use.
