Amazing Cheap Fun Glamor Light From Home Depot for Photography and Video

[@BoReynolds]

Buddy, you are a flippin' GENIOUS!

[@alexboros1751]

FUKN HILARIOUS

[@Marcmphoto]

This is actually amazing honestly lol. Like the cheapest brightest setup. I love this idea

[@Mannock]

I used to think that I was the king of DIY lighting. After seeing your videos, particularly this one, I am merely the crown prince. You are truly the king, Markus, and you make it so enjoyable to follow. Thank you!

[@MarkusPix]

Speaking of crazy, did you see this kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIPIloJqrtdnpLM

[@Mannock]

@@MarkusPix No. But I do now. Thanks, Markus. This is of great help. Gotta go. Home Depot calls!

[@ElementaryWatson-123]

That gave me an idea, screw this light to a ceiling fan.

[@ChessTurner]

Flawless sound, flawless photos and very clear and positive explanations. Thank you very much for your work

[@AndrzejJeczen]

I love people with passion and resourcefulness.

[@wediditjoe]

I'm always amazed at the way you end up matching high end gear on a budget. From the RX100's to lighting equipment, this gotta be the most fun, no nonsense, KZbin photography and video channel to this day

[@ArminHirmer]

pretty cool, thanks for showing Markus

[@mindseyeproductions8798]

Nice find; another video providing valuable support to the community. 🎉

[@CRISSBLAZINY]

These ppl are living still in the 80s :)))😊

[@FallenTrend33]

Wish I could think like this guy, I’d deck my entire home out with so many creations.

[@EdibleGarbage]

The world is your playground and we appreciate you letting us join in the fun. From a lumens standpoint how much light do these emit or more specifically what would your camera settings be so as not to get any motion blur if your model was moving around?

[@MarkusPix]

5000 lumens

[@JoeyJig]

Having the ability to fold that light will also allow mounting it to a fixed bulb socket that is close to a wall. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent.

[@covetedpixel3238]

Awesome! Thanks! I am going to try one on top of my green screen to fill in the shadows created by the main lights.

[@andrewdoeshair]

Home Depot has been a lot more fun since watching you

[@kataraaaaaa]

clearly being a happy and healthy person will make you look so much younger because sir you are in NO WAY already 60!! lots of love and thanks for the vid!!!

[@MyGreenLawn2019]

Thats very cool! Great idea Markus! I love it.. Great Home Depot find!

[@koolhand12]

You are absolutely amazing and inspirational...thank you!!!

[@ToneDeaf403]

This man don't miss

[@malmedia]

Every time I go to Lowes or Home Depot for my home, I take a few minutes to look around in the lighting area to see if there is something like that, to see if it could be useful. I have never seen that thing there. But I will be looking for it next time I am there. Another good option to a high position could, of course, be a boom arm. But that would require of heavier/sturdier light stand.

[@LazyMitchell]

Time to blow some money at home depot! Those lights are awesome.

[@ggeimer]

I gave a thumbs up, even before I won the lantern. I didn’t watch the ending until I got a notification from FedEx that I had a package from Markus!

[@RickMentore]

Marcus, Creative Genius!

[@paulroyle-grimes]

I think any lighting would look awesome with your model Markus.

[@paultrunfull3324]

Lov to see a tog getting enthusiastic over somrthing they have discovered for cheap and is useful, nice one Markus

[@IBCBankWeDoMore]

Thank you for all your help Markus! Watching your video is part of my everyday duties. You rock!

[@john2510]

My new favorite light! Thanks!

[@DanielCrist]

Thanks for sharing more of your brilliance Markus! There's really no one else on KZbin like you.

[@HotRodMarketing]

I love how creative you are with your lighting ideas. I'm definitely gonna try these lights!

[@jenos83]

Yes! I used similar LED shop lights for a project at work. So pleased with them I've put off getting more expensive "pro" versions.

[@KristopherSatchell]

I bookmarked those lights. Those would be great even for music video shapes

[@jessealexander8135]

Dude. You are rad. Thank you so much for this channel! Just ordered these lights!

[@johng5819]

Now THAT was pretty cool! Stay outside the box 😁

[@Mike0193Azul]

Fantastic tips and info as usual 💚 thanks for the reminder on having the key light above people

[@tsbrownie]

I found flat led light bulbs "UFO" lights online. Like a diffused spot. They are about 2 bucks each ranging 15 to 100 watts.

[@maritzascraft]

Thanks for all the work you do to help us all ❤

[@joeframo3347]

Oh and it does a great job don't touch it illuminates enough 🌞

[@JeffreyHauser]

U DA MASTER, Markus! Thank you for sharing these alternate lighting tips with us! Best wishes.😊🙏

[@Richie5480]

What a great idea 💡

[@imothy]

thank you for giving me inspiration to get more clutter in my studio!

[@MarkusPix]

Look at it this way... a space saving light that doesn't take up space like a soft box gives you more room instead of taking up more room 😃

[@AliasJimWirth]

I really appreciate all of this information you share on your findings. I love how you are out there looking for things and adapting things. I do things like that with other kinds of projects unrelated to photography, so I enjoy watching and listening to you doing it related to photography. Many thanks, Markus.

[@joeframo3347]

Yeah I think it's great and you're brilliant for coming up with the idea home Depot if I had to buy that a camera shop they probably want over $250 so you just saved me tons of money 💰

[@hstrinzel]

POSITIVELY BRILLIANT! Thank You! Helps A LOT!

[@saaby2870]

Man a few years ago I didn’t click with your videos, but now I can’t stop your thought process is amazing. I guess my mind wasn’t ready for your logic just yet😂. Thanks for the great content.

[@JACKnJESUS]

Great find and idea! If you plug it into a switched socket...install a dimmer switch...and you can then vary the output. If you were just using a lamp socket...you could also install a dimmer between the wall plug and the lamp...gaining the same functionality. Or just make a dedicated dimmer extension cord setup...take it anywhere.

[@MarkusPix]

Old school dimmers only work with old school lights. They are variable resistors that cut off part of the AC sine wave. LEDs are low voltage and to dim them, you must use a variable resistor on the outgoing DC low voltage, not the incoming high voltage AC.

[@JACKnJESUS]

@@MarkusPix Nice catch.

[@evojacksonart]

Thank you for doing this for all of us!

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

People overlook the importance of proper lighting. This video was really informative

[@MisterDivineAdVenture]

Very helpful! Thanks so much. 1) One can also use a 1/2 inch wood dowel as a pin - actually just as strong as the metal plate and less visible. 2) I wish those nicely made all-in-one bulb fixtures could pan - which frustrates simple overhead lighting with them. So for that I use a complicated chain: a large clamp (or pin mount), a medium ball head, a small pole clamp, and light fixture. As nice as I can afford. Which is Not cheap! But it works well and looks good where I need the flexibility.

[@TacBlades]

This is amazing I love it. I made a large led ring light once using the kitchen under the unit led lights that can be daisy chained, and pvc flexible tube and connectors to make a hexagon shape with adjustable pvc stand worked a treat for my photo studio.

[@shealan]

Ingenius. Roger Deakins would be proud! 🙂

[@psianyde1567]

Hey, just a quick thanks. Thanks for helping to mentor and lookout for all the up and comings.

[@Daren_PNW]

i don't have a garage but you know what this _would_ be cool for? Checking out car paint conditions, I think! Using 0+45 degrees along the sides (maybe 2-3 on each side), it could work. Also, thanks for keeping the 7:04 blooper in

[@sylviahoke7513]

This is so great! I am going to try it for sure! I love your enthusiasm ! Thank you for your energy.!

[@TeresaMirandaTM]

THANK YOU!!!! I am so tired of how tired my soft boxes are making me when I make self tape videos or video auditions. The search for affordable / quality / space saving lighting (I know it's a lot to ask 😂) has become an exhausting journey through the land of sensory overload. As always you are a lifesaver with your tips, tricks, and reviews!

[@MarkusPix]

Did you see this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXiXd3ZprNyWjrM

[@ILGenius]

Best photo content on KZbin!!! Thank you Sir!

[@DennisRosenberg]

Another awesome and unique find from Markus. 🎯👏👍

[@MarkusPix]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DennisRosenberg]

@@MarkusPix Picking up 2 of these today at Home Depot. I think they'll make a good Zoom call lighting option as well.

[@penngrey]

Your mind totally works overtime ! I know you like cheap affordable options, but can you think of a situation when mounting a flash to a drone in early morning or late evening that would give you the shot of a lifetime ? Or are we talking too much $$ ? I could see you trying something like that if you already have a drone, say like in your back pocket. Keep up the creativity ! We love it !

[@rodjorgensen5808]

I enjoy your videos, like this one how clever and inventive

[@DIZEMANPHOTO]

Once again... THANKS MARKUS and CARA! More GOOD STUFF TO KNOW!

[@josesavant]

This is brilliant, love the creative approach to such simple lights!

[@Mcteerproductions]

Woowww this is amazing!!!!! Thank you for sharing it!

[@andyburnett4918]

Fantastic idea. Thanks very much for sharing your thinking.

[@savemarinwood6678]

Really great info. Thank you so much for your work. I like your simple direct explanations and examples.

[@rcdhi1g]

Cool and becareful to not get hurt 🤕😂😂😂 . Nice ideas and wow you have a lot of stuff and knowledge.

[@HayesTech]

If you don't mind 1080p video, that 70D would make some fairly decent videos. I use a 90D as one of my main video cameras and love it. While I won't be getting into your giveaway, I think it's awesome that you help people out with your giveaways and all your photo and video knowledge.

[@MarkusPix]

I only do 1080 anyway. Almost all my KZbin stuff

[@joeframo3347]

Hey Marcus another great video one after another 📸

[@risingempireentertainment]

Just bought mine today brother! What a money saver for our green screen room.

[@cadfleetwood]

Omg Markus, thanks a lot for your work. That's what I really needed for so long to get out of the box and use some unexpected workflow, you are really lighting some sparks of creativity! Thank you!

[@MarkusPix]

Thank you, you're welcome 😊

[@PaddlesUpMedia]

YOU ROCK, MARKUS!!!! :D THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR BRILLIANT IDEAS! THE BEST!!

[@rene0511]

Wow, amazing that's a lot of light mounting option. ❤️those Markus.👍👌

[@ThePandaPhotographer]

Thanks again Markus with the comedy and thé review ❤

[@timyonce]

Wonderful light from Home Depot

[@KevinGoosie]

This is a great find. Thanks for sharing. These would be perfect for someone getting started into doing headshots with continuous lighting. So I may have to go grab a couple so I can start experimenting with doing headshots.

[@mikestroud7663]

Always enjoy and buy, thanks again. I bought some smaller versions like a like bulb and they fan out..

[@johnsaucerhunter]

So Mr. Markus, after watching your recent episode (for the frugal-hearted), I dropped everything and went to HomeDepot and bought the last 4 of these particular lights that they had in stock. I'm home now and playing around with them. Never thought that using these at an angle would do well in coverage, but boy was I incorrect. They work great... and am going to use a few as 'accent lights' in various parts of the room to add some ambience. Much obliged for the suggestion.

[@TheComicReliefCrusader]

That's amazing! I wish I could get this in Alberta Canada!

[@niklscalemodel]

Love watching your videos, entertaining and informative at the dame time.

[@jimpurcell]

Love the versatility!

[@AbDaniel21]

we love you markus! keep going!

[@RajonPowell]

Love this I am going to get 2 of these lights tomorrow.

[@stevenbagley9858]

BRAVO !!!!

[@Tequilaboylv]

I SEE THE LIGHT...VERY COOL,

[@biohazardKandiKid]

Now that's what I call bright ideas

[@spost26]

This is awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! Hoping I win that 70d!

[@anitaoneill8337]

Wow this is BRILLIANT!!!

[@joopvervaart]

so happy to see a new video, you explain so complete and it is really fun to see what you come up with. Thanks Markus

[@sabatiniontech7256]

Very cute, very useful.

[@RanchontheRiver]

OMG THANK YOU! I have a little tiny space to do my videos and this was just the answer I needed... god love you for sharing you immense knowledge and experience with us newbies!

[@ggeimer]

Thanks for the Aputure Lantern 90. We could have used this last week on a lighting assignment. We will put this to good use.

[@Finite-Tuning]

Yeah, those things are pretty cool. I've been using LED shop lighting for years. Good lights don't have to cost $500 plus. Cheers 🍻

[@paulmiles9388]

i love your videos man. i learn alot and they are funny. please make more

[@guyjordan8201]

Nice find.

[@nicksavage4763]

Oh Yea 🎉 and it works. Lighting for Cam very good

[@yohannsphotographyvideogra9542]

days of electric wires are gone but its nice to see it still exist

[@MarkusPix]

People don't use electric wires anymore?? 😳

[@markattardo]

Very interesting lights!

[@Jestunes]

It's interesting that you mention fluorescent lighting. Since I have a limited budget I have only used this for Led florescent lighting. They also sell Led dimmers for these lights so I can change the brightness. I use them on a stand one on each side vertically with a black velcro padding strip facing the camera. This way I can keep it closer or further from my subject depending on how close I want it to the camera. The dimmers I mount on my ceiling and it lights my puppet stage perfectly. Thanks for sharing.

[@Native_love]

Great model! LOVED THE VIDEO! SUBBED!

[@robertduso2859]

Excellent Idea.

[@Iliasschneider]

Great find, Markus!! Awesome tips. Thank you even for finding mounting options

[@CP-dl4nc]

Home Depot is now a photography and video supply store. LOL. Very cool idea. Sold out in my neck of the woods. Hope they get more in stock.
