Awesome timing, and helpful video! Lighting is my next investment and looking for a good stand-in until I drop decent money on a high-end lighting setup
This came just as I was looking to buy a new light! Great info. Friendly suggestion for future videos: I really wanted to just see 3 side by side shots of the same image with each light. As much as we look at numbers and specs, I think what it comes down to for most of us is how it looks!
Who else is asking for lights for Xmas? 👀 Keep creating & being awesome! You're on the right path. You're making a difference in the world. May your day be filled with creativity, and serenity. 💗 Dr. Liz
Ok so now I have no excuse for not getting my lighting together. Very helpful video. Affordable and user friendly. Thank you! Bi-color LED light it is!
I just bought some soft box lights and posted a video about it on my channel if you want to check it out. They were over $50 but under $100 from Amazon.
I bought 2 of these mountdog lights on black Friday and cyber monday for about $35 each. Haven't received them yet because I'm in Jamaica. But now I'm glad I made this choice. Cant wait to get them! 😊
I'm using softbox lights from Andoer. They straight forward to use however they have some downsides: 1) They're difficult to store and take up space 2) there is no way to control brightness.
I use this setup with a 4 bulb head. two switches. I have two bulbs in one and one in another. This gives me three light options from one source for like 30 bucks. crazy good light and virtually free. I did get the softbox and light socket as part of a moving sale for 50% off. but it works great. I have it on a vertical mic stand and it is super compact that way. My lights, are .... costco led regular bulbs... grey card and custom white balance makes it all good.
I've literally been binging your LED/softbox light videos (the neewer and studiopro ones) to figure out the right one for me. This video couldn't have been posted at a more perfect time. Thanks so much!
I literally just bought the CBO/corn light after watching a studio setup from Omar! kind of crushed to not have the best tech but that will always happen. As soon as you get the newest thing they come out with an even better one. Great video.
Thanks for this! Been using a typical cheap 6ft reading light with white fabric pieces over the 2 bulb cones... not perfect lighting by any means... been wanting to up my game... this is a great suggestion... the adjustability seals the deal for sure ... but the space they use up is the one concern... any other mounting suggestions other than the tripod stand?
I got a set of two softboxes with led bulb (plus two spare bulbs) for £35 off ebay UK. Not dimmable (and not the brightest but they're fine for me, especially not being dimmable they'd probably be too bright otherwise) and they do take up a lot of space but for the money I have no real complaints.
Thank you guys so much for this video. I just started my channel a few weeks ago. And was looking at lights this past weekend. And came across this one but could find any decent reviews on youtube. I now just ordered it through your link. 👍👍👍
Wow thanks for the great advice. #Go VRA FAM. Bought Mount Dog BiColor.... It was love at first sight. When you are a one man operation LIGHTING can be a real pain. TOTALLY amazed at how easy this box is and how good it looks. Another nice feature you don't even mention is that it is lighter than many light boxes too. Comes with travel case, (although mounted permanently in office/studio), I have mine clamped to a bookshelf. Sun from the window, this light on the opposite side, along with hair light and we are good to go. With this light I can match the temperature of the sun from the time of the day perfectly so no more half way line on the face. ;) Thanks for the link.
BRO!!!!! Great Content!!!! I love that you guys are so knowledgable, BUT YET.... you talk to us and NOT down to us beginners! Love that! And you all come across like you TRULY give a shit about your viewers. Keep up the good work... and I'll keep watching & supporting! Salute!!

Okay... so this is a SUPER timely video as I have just upgraded from iPhone camera to Canon M50 and was thinking what to do to improve the lights situation and not break the bank. Thanks heaps!
@@officialWWM wow thanks Darren! I realised you are based in Australia too! (I’m from Melbourne). I subscribed to your channel too - intriguing how one can become the greatest musician!
got my softboxes (very similar, only bulbs are different) from ebay. makes all the difference. need to get me some adjustable LED bulbs (color and intensity settings). great tips and advices!!! thank you!!!
I was just looking up the COB lights on Amazon from one of your other videos and I saw the corn light. Then a little bit later you posted this with a corn light! Lol, you always seem to post at the perfect time! 😂
I got 2 softboxes that came with 5500k bulb lights. Then i got 2 adapters so i could use 2 bulbs on each softbox. Now i have twice the light, but i can't dimm down the light or change temperature. Leds are the way to go IMO.
I actually got the Light bulb one for 25€ as well as a Ring Light for 8€ which I can change the brightness and color tempurature, I'm fine with that setting
I've been wanting to get lighting like this for some time but thought that I would have to spend a lot of money in order to get good quality. I'm using a regular lamp and lightbulb for lighting and my only mic is from my webcam which sucks. The lamp sits about 3 feet above the chair I sit in because I sit in a sofa type chair which is lower than the desk that my keyboard, mouse, and two monitors sit on. I hope to be able to get a normal computer chair soon so that I can adjust the height as well as a microphone and boom arm so that my voice can be heard better because the webcam mic is too far from where I sit. The lights you reviewed are all nice and any one of them would help me make nicer looking videos.
Its crazy because just bought some soft box lights & just posted a video about it. They were a little over $50 but under $100. I was afraid of if I bought them too cheap they would fall apart on me.
@@AlistairBrugsch You're asking if we get it? Did you actually read tushygalore's post? It spells out "the corn cob shape is coincidental". Or maybe you think we didn't notice that "corn cob" has the word "cob" in it, which is spelled the same as the acronym "COB"?
Great video, was looking to buy some soft box lighting for my videos as currently all I have is a simple desk lamp. Which lights have you guys bought and how has it held up over time? Thanks!

I have mostly been using the light of the environment like the sun or the light at the location. I have improvised with one led panel kit and the lights of the environment. I am looking for my next lighting upgrade. The small space of a RV adds to the challenge of lighting. The multicolor lighting kits look desirable for adding flexibility to the light kit. The light kit also needs to be portable and easy to store. Portability is so it can be used on the go and easy to store because of the space in the RV. I hope to upgrade my lighting by the time I hit Las Vegas in 2021 in anticipation of a possible an in=person GWVL 2021. Your content in 2020 is been great and inspiring. It has been great to see your growth since meeting you at GWVL 2019.
I would like to see their wattage if they are the same, because if not then it is not a fair comparison? and of course, the dimmable bulb has the advantage, but was it cheaper than the two?
Well thank you Nolan, this is disheartening news🤦🏽♀️. I purchased the Mount Dog double set with 4 bulbs in each softbox sometime ago. I do love the newest and greatest (😍 that remote with options 😍), but I'll be stuck with these for a long time. Thanks for a great review though 👍🏽
Tried to buy the winner from your link, but it's not available in the UK. If we bought it from the US it would be £56 plus £55 postage ($148 US Dollars) Any ideas for the UK for something affordable but also good? Thanks
Thank you for this video. Do you think one light will do or do I need to have at least 2? I want to start making videos about men’s fashion. So I will obviously be trying on different outfits and getting full body shots. Would appreciate your response 🙏🏽

NOW? I am using normal lamps and sunlight, lol. But that is a good light you suggested so it's on my Amazon wish list.
Nice!!!!!! You guys have been keeping on my game.
None of the Lights available atm ....
Hello think media. Please i will love to have a private communication with you. Maybe on WhatsApp
This came just as I was looking to buy a new light! Great info.

Lighting is important for getting high-quality videos. I always use them. Btw, I never buy expensive lights because the result is the same.
Then you have no idea about why they're expensive. Just google High CRI lights film making.
Love it. Thanks for being freakin awesome, Think Media
Exactly!
You're awesome too GYGC!
Just bought the Winning Light set-up for my own TH-cam channel! Thanks to everyone at Think Media for always providing great content!
any comments about the product? I think im going to buy it
Ok so now I have no excuse for not getting my lighting together. Very helpful video. Affordable and user friendly. Thank you! Bi-color LED light it is!
I just bought some soft box lights and posted a video about it on my channel if you want to check it out. They were over $50 but under $100 from Amazon.
I use the one with the bulb... it works fine for me at this point and definitely improved the quality of my videos.
The moment you spoke about the settings on the Bi-Color light, I knew that would be the one I’d go for too
Was able to use some affiliate money to pick up the Godox SL 60W and got the 47" dome soft box. Changed everything about how my videos look!
I bought 2 of these mountdog lights on black Friday and cyber monday for about $35 each. Haven't received them yet because I'm in Jamaica. But now I'm glad I made this choice. Cant wait to get them! 😊
Using your tips to make me into the best youtuber ever💁🏾♀️

My main light is a Sokani X60 V2 with a 80cm Godox soft. I use Pixel RGB Led Photography Lighting Panels on stands for secondary lights.
I was looking for good cheap lighting til I get money to invest in a good and think media never fails with good tips and info ….thank you
Great video! Lighting is such an essential element of production that people often overlook!
Growing gradually, I’m on my to 4K watch hour 🥂🥂
@Joni G Hello Joni G, well dear if you're a snail, I must be a baby snail. 48 🤣🤣🤣
@Joni G Awww us little people down here need you. 🤗 Thank you so much Jon G. I truly appreciate you. Have a wonderful Sunday!!
I’m so glad I watched this before buying a $80 soft box without a remote!
I use the bulb light there are not very good but good enough, with the price i can't complain i get great results.
Watching you from Kenya you have really motivated me soon am starting my TH-cam video
A very informative video, I know what to buy when I’m ready for a light kit , thank you for sharing!
A big thumbs up
I could probably use one of these for my small indoor studio which is a small part of my filming for TH-cam.
I use 3 NEEWER 160 CN lights with the included diffuser. They are usually around 75% brightness.
I’m so excited that the bi-color mount dog won! I ordered it last week and it comes in Thursday! Excited for my better quality videos
how is it?
I have the Mount Dog and love it! Best value out there!
Fan from INDIA.I am learning lots of things from you
I’m a beginner, thanks for this info. I was wondering what to get!
Me too just order one for my TH-cam channel u can visit my channel

Based off another Think Media video, I bought the Mountdog 95w 5500k kit of 2 lights for $59 from Amazon. So far, so good-especially for the price.

Literally just wondering what some good cheap lighting solutions might be. Thanks for living in my 🧠 lol⚡️
I just bought some soft box lights and posted a video about it on my channel if you want to check it out. They were over $50 but under $100 from Amazon.
Perfect timing considering all I can spend on lighting is $50 from an Amazon gift card.
God is good 👍

Well I guess there’s something else I need for Christmas now 🙃 Hey Yo Santa....you got this??!!!
got my softboxes (very similar, only bulbs are different) from ebay. makes all the difference. need to get me some adjustable LED bulbs (color and intensity settings). great tips and advices!!! thank you!!!
No data on lumen output for comparison. Thank you for your effort!
Thanks for the info! Lighting makes such a difference in my videos 😊
I’ll think about that soft box winner! Been using window light for the most part.
Great, i know what I'm asking Santa for Christmas!
I was just looking up the COB lights on Amazon from one of your other videos and I saw the corn light. Then a little bit later you posted this with a corn light! Lol, you always seem to post at the perfect time! 😂
Thank you ThinkMedia! Mountdog sold out already🤣
Deciding on which one to get
I took your suggestion and purchased one. It’s time to start taking photos!
Thanks guys! I bought it through your links! Love your work guys! Sean team.... you guys are great!
I got 2 softboxes that came with 5500k bulb lights. Then i got 2 adapters so i could use 2 bulbs on each softbox. Now i have twice the light, but i can't dimm down the light or change temperature. Leds are the way to go IMO.
I use the Godox sl60W & I love it.
Thank you, It is very useful info. I am getting the LED but it's unavailable at the moment
What about the 60hz cycling from fluorescent interacting with camera... I has problems with this in the past.
I love your tips. Thank you so much.
I actually got the Light bulb one for 25€ as well as a Ring Light for 8€ which I can change the brightness and color tempurature, I'm fine with that setting
Hey could you do a video on a portable small Soft Box? Or a DIY one?

These are awesome for video, nice video as always guys 🔥
When you are looking at the video and you have the bulb one as your light 😁 time to upgrade ee
The #1 choice, Mountdog is out of stock on Amazon. What do you recommend in its place? Thanks!
Its crazy because just bought some soft box lights & just posted a video about it. They were a little over $50 but under $100. I was afraid of if I bought them too cheap they would fall apart on me.
When did they start calling those bulbs “Corn Lights”?
That’s a C.O.B. bulb, stands for “chip on board” , the corn cob shape is coincidental.
Hahaha yeah, you beat me to it.
That light actually is made up of a bunch of tiny LED lights it's hard to see in the video.
It's a corn COB. Geddit? Lol
@@ThinkMediaTV Right. Those "tiny LED lights" are the chips in Chip On Board (COB).
@@AlistairBrugsch You're asking if we get it? Did you actually read tushygalore's post? It spells out "the corn cob shape is coincidental". Or maybe you think we didn't notice that "corn cob" has the word "cob" in it, which is spelled the same as the acronym "COB"?
I'm so going shopping for this right now
Thanks for the information
If you put Lifx bulb into light bulb stand you can control on phone and change to RGB light under 100$
I first thought you get all 3 lights combo kit for under 50 USD :-D.. !!!!
Now you got me wanting a corn dog
“Because it sucks!” - Nolan
Definitely needed this because there's no way I can afford an Aperture 120D
I absolutely love this video

Great job.
seems like I have been looking for light.
Which light is a good low cost option for lighting the screen on a green screen?
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.🎉😊
It's really amazing and thanks for making this video but i can't find this product in india any suggestions... Or alternatives..?
Bought it, love it.
Starting from tomorrow clear pictures new channel 😊
