Kinds of Studio Lights

Depending on your daily and professional needs there are a few essential studio lights that are recommended to have in your studio kit. The Fluorescent lights do not easily overheat and have a neutral shade. The Tungsten lights are also called “hot lights” as they emit heat and have a warm tone ideal for portraits. A basic studio lighting setup should have at least 1 to 4 lights that can include a Key light, Fill light, Rim / Hair light and a Background light.

Continuous light is suited for product and still life photography or video as it lights the subject or objects exactly as it is captured through the lens. There are three kinds of bulbs used in continuous lighting that include fluorescent, tungsten and LED.

There are Speed lights that have an external flash inside an umbrella and softbox to evenly disperse light. The flash mechanism works faster than normal flash usually seen being used at weddings, press releases and sporting events. They are lightweight and portable ideal to travel with for outdoor shoots. 

Monolights are self-contained strobe that run on pre-powered batteries, have reflectors and stands making them highly adaptable to various shooting scenes for long durations without needing a power source or generator.
