There’s an assumption here that for the beginner, lighting equipment for your videos will be minimally needed. But I could be wrong. It depends on the person and what they’re trying to accomplish. Again you must ask yourself: For what purpose do I need lighting? Will you be shooting mostly talking head interview blog content? Do you want to make creative mini movies with cinematic image quality? Are you straight shooting B2B interviews and conferences and events? Do I need portability? Do you need a soft or hard light source? Ultimately answering these questions will help you make the best decisions. I can say with 100% certainty, that there’s no such thing as the perfect light for all situations. It’s clear the latest technology in lighting is designed to be more power efficient, and cooler to the touch. In the recent years LED and Flourescent lighting have become the most affordable options. They are very compact and user friendly. The biggest downside to both, especially LED panel lights is skin tone color rendition which makes the popularity and usage of these lights amongst the high end professional production community controversial. But for web videos are just getting started to light subjects, these lights are more than adequate.
