Where can I find cheap video lighting?

Question

Podcasts

I write video podcasts in a 4x4 meter room, and under the lighting from the chandelier, it looks pretty bad . Please advise what kind of light that can be put and so that it fills the shadows and it was not necessary to write video on iso3200.
Update: Found on Aliexpress chic 80W lamps (400W equivalent). The problem is practically solved. $20 piece.

Answer 1

It is desirable at least two lamps with good dispersion, otherwise there will be sharp shadows.
Offhand ... You can try to look in the direction of softboxes (they come in different sizes, and the number of light bulbs can be put there differently, the only thing is that it will be hot in a small room if you put ordinary incandescent lamps), another option is a sharp directional light reflected from reflectors .

Answer 2

For a chandelier, powerful lamps with better color rendering (he measured Ra = 93), which should also be better for a video camera (not in terms of color accuracy, but in terms of distinguishing shades), I recommend these .
And use local lighting - a table lamp or a floor lamp with a translucent shade to enliven the light environment and illuminate faces. For example, like this .
Here the lamp was installed only for enlivening, obviously the studio light clogs everything, but in your case it can also work to illuminate faces:
And here wall lights are needed so that the stage does not drown in gray milk:
You light up the wall behind the monitor to brighten up, otherwise it would be really bad, but it should not be brighter than the faces. Otherwise, faces in contrast fall into darkness. Your format is "talking heads", faces should be illuminated.
And the second significant feature of your format is behind the scenes, intimacy, comfort. Here you definitely can’t do without a table lamp:
And the balance of local and general lighting in your case is achieved by screwing in and out of the lamps from the chandelier.

Answer 3

At the time of filming, instead of the existing lamps in the chandelier, you can put high-power fluorescent energy-saving lamps. I used Era lamps .
Specifically this model: F-SP-60W-842-E27.
