Bro this was legit. Watched a few other videos on this and they were clickbait as hell. Preciate it!!

[@TylerCaseyProd]

Thanks for the comment!

[@MoltenSamurai]

Been looking for this for a while, I had found everything but the idea that I could just swap colored tube guards over the lights. Smart

[@TylerCaseyProd]

Thanks for watching!

[@princebeckettclips]

Thank you. I was scared of being generic ones that looked very cheap. Now I can assemble my own. Purple all the way

[@DGX369]

I put a led strip in a frosted single fluorescent housing and it works great. Compact, bright, and app control in a rugged housing.

[@TylerCaseyProd]

Love it!

[@suavelifestyle9094]

Hey man could you show me how you did this ?

[@krakapoww]

Show us the way

[@iamKirbyLove]

Mine just came today. Definitely are bright bright and ready to use them for my next music video.

[@TylerCaseyProd]

Awesome glad to hear!

[@Mathew-vlogs]

Awesome video. I just added these to my Amazon cart! Wish there was more people like you. Not only did you tell us about the lights. You showed us where we can buy them. And how to gel them. Hope you find a lot of success here on youtube.

[@TylerCaseyProd]

Glad I could help!

[@MartinBergnerGuitar]

Whats your résumé one year later? Did they meet your expectations?

[@Mathew-vlogs]

@@MartinBergnerGuitar well actually, I ended buying a more expensive light set up because I wasn’t sure if these lights alone would’ve been sufficient. And I didn’t want to buy a lot of lights. Lol. What I bought worked well enough and got the job done. So I don’t know anything about these lights except for what’s in this video. So, sorrry I couldn’t help.

[@randymartosoewito7892]

Wow I just purchased a 6pack a year ago for the kitchen lol..I still have 4 left so now I found a usage for them hehe

The led rgb ring and led rgb tubes are excellent for ceiling tube bulbs which they are replacement and I can’t stand these fluorescent which the fluorescent had mercury in them. But you can set the rgb to soft white or warm white or cool white too.

Alright this is a great setup! I can’t stop thinking if there is a way to use a D-Tap cable to connect to a V-Mount battery so you aren’t limited to a certain area. Or even use this in a place like a forested area away from wall mounts

I’m a little lost when you said that you have to make your own power cable. Do you mean by splicing wires? Or no

yeah it does not come with the actual power cables you can purchase them separately. It does come with the end plug so you can wire them yourself though.

[@switchunboxing]

@@TylerCaseyProd Whatttt why lol

@@switchunboxing probably because there nore meant to be used as ceciing light in a office or something rather then a stand alone or tube feature light

straight to outline with their cable

Is there anything to look out for in the product specs to make sure they don't flicker? I found some alternatives on ebay but I've had issues with flickering lights in the past

These are useful practicals and real smart to add gels to it. BUT beware young filmmakers- you are going to get some nasty green tints and weird color tones.
