Izzy Video 141 – Tungsten, Fluorescent, HMI, and LED Lights for Video
When you start to dig into video, eventually you begin looking to purchase some artificial lights. This can be quite a decision for a couple reasons: 1) They’re very expensive, and 2) There are many, many options.
In this week’s video tutorial, I review several different types of lights, giving my thoughts on each. I show you an example of the kind of tungsten light I use for key and fill lights. I also show you popular fluorescent lights, an HMI light, and even an LED light. LED lights are all the rage right now, but I’ve got a couple problems with them, which you’ll see in this video.

Hi, Dan!
Thanks for the kind words. I wanted this video to be full of the basic information someone needs to know about lights. I think I got most of it in there. I’m glad you found it helpful.
By the way, I just checked out your website. Congrats on the films! And for the success you’re having in Florida. :-)
All the best,
Izzy

Interesting video. I ended up buying 85 watt twist bulbs with stands and umbrellas for $170.00 on e bay. The light is soft cool and easy to work with. Now I need a better camera..where does it end? LOL..
