1. Look at the light source
The light source is the most important component that determines the lighting effect of photography. At present, the mainstream LED photography lights basically use LEDs as light sources, and LEDs can be divided into granular LED lamp beads and LED patches.
2.Look at the number of LEDs and luminous flux
The greater the number of LEDs, the greater the brightness and power. For example: Teyeleec SL-360A is its latest LED SMD video light, using 360pcs high-brightness SMD LEDs, the power reaches 70W, and the luminous flux reaches 1500LM, which is equivalent to the luminous brightness of 150W traditional tungsten filament lamps.
3.Look at the color temperature
Color temperature is an indicator that needs to be understood when purchasing LED video lights. The LED video light has a single color temperature (standard 5600k), but more of it is a dual color temperature, and the color temperature can be adjusted between 3200k-5600k.
4.Look at the color rendering index
Color rendering index (CRI) refers to the characteristics of different colors when different light sources illuminate the same color object. The higher the color rendering index, the higher the color reproduction of the LED video light. High CRI can truly restore color, which is an important indicator for purchasing LED video lights.
5. Look at the power supply mode
The LED video light has two power supply modes, one is powered by an external lithium battery, which is convenient for outdoor shooting; the other is connected to DC power supply through an adapter, which is generally used when shooting indoors.
6. See if it supports wireless remote control
LED video light supports wireless remote control is a very practical technology. In actual shooting, multiple lights are often required to coordinate lighting. With the wireless remote control function, the brightness and color temperature of each photographic light can be remotely controlled through the wireless remote control, which greatly improves the photographer’s lighting efficiency.
7. Look at the heat dissipation performance
Many people tend to ignore the heat dissipation performance when purchasing LED video lights. In fact, the heat dissipation performance of LED video lights is an important factor affecting the service life of video lights. Led will emit a lot of heat when it is working. If it is not dissipated in time, the excessive temperature will greatly reduce the overall service life of the camera.
8.Look at the operation panel
Whether the operation panel of the LED video light is designed to be concise and clear is related to whether the operation of the LED video light is simple or not.
9.Look at compatible photographic accessories
To meet different shooting needs, LED video lights need to use different photography accessories. For example, the light baffle can shape different surface lights and beam lights; the U-shaped bracket can make the LED video light have a more flexible lighting angle.
10.See whether the production enterprise is formal
At present, the LED video light market is very chaotic. There are many brands, and the good and the bad are mixed. Looking around, many products do not even have a manufacturer or factory address. How can such a product be guaranteed? Therefore, LED video lights produced by regular enterprises must be selected.
