Studio Lights

Studio Lights from MOJOGEAR

Good studio lights are essential for anyone involved in photo or video production, whether as a professional or a hobbyist. With the right studio lighting, you can ensure your subject is perfectly lit, no matter the conditions. Whether you're creating YouTube videos, live streams, commercial product shots, or working with a green screen, a suitable studio light can really improve the quality of your results. At MOJOGEAR, you'll find a range of options, including dimmable LED video lights, RGB lights, and compact lighting you can use straight away.

There are different types of studio lights to choose from, depending on what you need them for. If you work on video or social media content, continuous light sources like the VIJIM VL49 RGB Multi Colour LED Video Light are a popular choice. For photography in a fixed setup, larger light stands with soft lighting are very effective. There are also compact, mobile lights for vloggers filming on the go with devices like an iPhone, GoPro, or a smartphone with a MagSafe mount.

Which Studio Lights are Suited for Video?

For video work, you will typically use constant light sources. The most suitable lighting for video recordings are LED video lights with adjustable colour temperature and brightness. This allows you to adapt the light to the room you're filming in. RGB LED lights are often chosen by YouTube content creators because they offer coloured light, which helps to set a creative mood for your recording.

Many content creators use lights that can be mounted on tripods or attached to walls and screens. When buying a light, look for features such as dimming controls, a high CRI value for accurate colours, and any extra options like a cold shoe mount or a built-in battery.

How to Use Studio Lights for Photography

In photography, studio lights are mainly used to control shadows and exposure. A studio setting often involves using LED lighting with softboxes or reflectors. This helps to prevent harsh shadows and creates a natural-looking result. A set with adjustable light heads is well-suited for product photography or portraits.

The right light for photography depends on the type of shot. Small product photos often require focused lighting, while portrait photography benefits from more diffused light. Compact lighting like the MOJOGEAR Lumi RGB LED Light 6.5W - Mini is useful for smaller scenes or mobile photography setups.

LED vs. Halogen Studio Lights: What's the Difference?

LED studio lights are more energy-efficient, cool down faster, and have a longer lifespan than halogen lamps. They produce very little heat, which is a big advantage during long recording sessions. Halogen lamps provide a warm colour temperature but use more power and can get very hot, making the working environment less comfortable.

Because of these benefits, most modern photographers and video makers tend to choose LED lights. They are adjustable in both light colour and brightness, are compact in size, and work very well with modern recording devices like a GoPro HERO12, iPhone 15 Pro, or DJI Osmo Action 4.

How to Set Up Your Studio Lighting

A good setup starts with deciding on your main light source. A common technique is the three-point lighting setup, which uses a key light, a fill light, and a backlight (or hair light). This creates a balanced image without harsh shadows. Use tripods and adjustable arms to position your light source in the right place.

For product shots of small items like accessories or electronics, a compact video light is often sufficient. For larger setups, you can add extra reflectors or background lighting. Make sure to match your light source with the white balance settings on your camera for the best results.
