Question: Do you recommend LED lighting for video and why?
Answer:
Yes
Pros: Lightweight, Stay cool, Low Power Consumption, Great accessories, ease of use
Cons: More expensive often, color tints, not as bright, not always as flattering as tungsten or fluorescent kits.
Here is what you look for when buying LED lights:
CRI (Color-Ratio-Index): Above 90
Daylight Balanced (5600K)
My recommendation as always for all things camera/video: Call B&H and ask what LED lights they recommend and give them your budget and they will tell you:
LED Lights I Use:
Ikan IFD576-S Daylight LED Light
Genaray LED-6200T 144 LED Light
