Hi! Do these produce any kind of noise? Do they heat up "reasonably"? Thanks!!!

[@axelbydesign]

Honestly, I haven't encountered them overheating easily. I've used them (at most) continuously about 2-3 hrs as most of my videos are shorter form. However, the whole back side is a vent to help with the heat release. (See the back of the lights in the video starting at 2:09). Please let me know if this answers your question.

[@TedMattos]

Hey Axel, thanks for this video. I'm curious if you're still using these lights and how you like them. :) Thank you!

[@axelbydesign]

Hey Ted! I am still using these lights when I'm looking for a smaller footprint setup! I'm still enjoying them, let me know if you have any questionsl

[@TedMattos]

@@axelbydesign Great! Thank you for taking the time to answer. It's appreciated. :)

I've noticed led panel lights like these tend to be harsher and uncomfortable to look at when compared to the softbox style light you have. Are these lights uncomfortable on your eyes when shooting longer videos?

[@axelbydesign]

This is certainly true, however for me I don't tend to place the light directly in front of me. This kit comes with 2 lights so I put one to the right and the other to the left of me to have even lighting. This way, I'm not looking directly in to the lights. On top of that, these lights have brightness adjustment so you can reduce the brightness according to your preference. Let me know if this helps.

[@dylsciple]

@@axelbydesign Yes, this is helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to respond 🙏

ola amigo,, si tengo 2 focos de led para mi R6 de 2000mA es lo mismo 1 de 4000mA se suman los lumens segun la cantidad de focos ? gracias

[@axelbydesign]

Hola, creo que si se pueden sumar los lumens segun la cantidad de focos que tienes. Hice una investigacion en Google y aparentemente asi se pueden calcular los lumens pero la verdad no soy experto en esos temas. Estare feliz de ayudar si tienes alguna otra pregunta. Gracias por tu comentario

[@artistadrtm]

Is there a point in this video whree we can see the light is on/.?

[@axelbydesign]

Hi, thanks for your comment. I don't usually record the light when it's on because it just looks like a big white glare but I can do a short video for you to see the light on. I'll be posting it as a short so keep an eye out for it. Let me know if you have another question, I'd be happy to answer. Thanks!

Hi…thanks for this review; but can I know how you positioned this light (I would prefer a picture/video set up); I purchased this lights but having a difficult time positioning it to get the similar lighting effect that you have.

[@axelbydesign]

Yeah, I can do a video update on this kit and show you how I positioned the lights. But I will also try to explain here so you can give it a shot in the meantime. So let's talk from the POV of where I'm sitting. I placed one light to my left diagonal and not directly in front of me at 30% brightness. This will be they light or the main light source. Then I'm going to place another light on my right side and this will be the *FILL* light. But let's use an intensity or brightness level that is less than our key light. (i didn't mention that on this video) For example if my KEY light is at 30% brightness then my FILL light will be 10% or 20% depending on how much fill you want. Try not to use these lights at 100% brightness as that will be so bright and give you super harsh shadows. Another option you can do is turn the lights to 100% Brightness but point them away from you in to a white wall and let that light reflect back to you. I found this creates softer shadows but then the whole room get's evenly lit. Depending on the look you are going for this may work. There is a guidance of lighting best practices, but ultimately you'll have to test until you find a setup that best fits your environment and make note of that for consistent results. Finally, make sure the room lights are turned off and that you are lighting only by using these lights. I hope this helps!

Thanks so much for your response. This was super helpful

Great video, I purchased this kit and I liked as well, what camera do you use to record your videos, high quality images you are doing great, I have a channel of my own and I am trying to improve my videos thanks again and keep up the good work you are doing great.

[@axelbydesign]

Felipe glad to hear that you like this lighting kit. The camera that I use for my videos is my iPhone 13 Pro. Thanks Felipe, good luck with your channel 🙌🏽

[@felipezafani]

@@axelbydesignthat is nice ! Thanks for sharing I have been using iPhone pros for years, now I am using an iPhone 14pro but I thought you were using something else great clips, are you not producing content lately?

[@axelbydesign]

Thanks for the compliments Felipe 🙌🏽 I have content ready to be edited but I need to make the time to get it out soon! On that note, what type of content would you be interested to see on this channel?

[@ziarahmanzr]

Love this video....🧡🧡 what is your camera model?

[@axelbydesign]

Hello, I record completely on the iPhone 13 Pro 😊

[@Potatocustom]

Just wanted to ask if you still like using the lights? Also can you use them while plugged in and charging? in other words, can I have them plugged in and say at 100% and they can stay on for hours at a time? So just use them as a pugged in light if there is a plug near by

[@axelbydesign]

Yes, this is still my main lighting setup! You can use them while plugged in and charging, so that gives you the ability to have them on for hours as long as they are plugged in. Please let me know if this helps out or if you have more questions I'll be glad to answer!
