On the other hand, studio strobes deliver short bursts of intense light. These flashes provide a powerful burst of light for a fraction of a second, freezing motion and capturing still images with precise lighting. Because of their short bursts of light, studio strobes are incredibly versatile and allow photographers to “overpower the sun” or essentially, provide enough power to appear brighter than the sun at the right settings. Unlike continuous lights, studio strobes typically require synchronization with the camera to trigger the flash at the right moment, as they work with precision often in the 10,000ths of a second.

Of the three lights tested, I found the amaran 300c to be the easiest to use by a sizable margin. If you have experience with studio strobes, single-point LEDs are the most obvious transition into continuous lighting, as they function largely the same. At 300W, I found the amaran to be bright enough with some small setting adjustments, and I particularly liked the quality of light when paired with their Light Dome II 34″ and set to a warmer tone.

My time with the Nanlite PavoTubes II 30X came last. I’ve actually owned a few Nanlite PavoTubes for a couple of years now, so I’m well-versed in how these lights function. Of the three lights tested for this piece, the Nanlite PavoTubes were the least powerful, but Nanlite make up for it by having a feature-rich product with a lot of great design choices. Still, because of the power of the light, I more often use them as quick-rim lights to add a specific color to the scene or subject.

The next light I tried was the Parabolix OMNI light, which works much like an LED panel, except it’s fully omnidirectional, so works best as a specialty light designed specifically for the Parabolix light modifiers – a modifier I’ve been a big fan of for years. When using the OMNI, I found the light to be really simple to use, and incredibly bright for photo work. Again, my ISO was set to 800 throughout, but even with 4-5ft separating my subject and the light, I was able to get plenty of light to shoot what I needed. That said, of the three lights testing in this, the OMNI is the one with the fewest features, offering a daylight-balanced light with a full dimmer, but no bi-color or RGB.

So in the end, would I recommend continuous lights for in-studio photography work? Yes, of course. Continuous lighting can be incredibly useful, and with the right power, can replace a lot of work done with strobes effortlessly. That said, I would be mostly interested in single-point LED lights with a power output of a minimum of 300W. Additionally, you’ll want to be mindful of the mounting options for video lights. Most of my personal lighting gear is Profoto mount, and Bowens seems to be the standard in the video work, so if you’re thinking of adding continuous lights to your already established strobe kit, you may need to buy some new speed rings or converters. Do you have a continuous light that you like using in your photography work? Chime in with your examples in the comments below.

The amaran 300c RGB LED boasts a 300w output, and full RGB control in a nice monolight LED system. With it being LED, you’re graced with limited heat and exceptional light output for the size and price. Additionally, the added benefit of full RGB control is you can adjust the light output from 2K-10K on the white balance scale, and are offered over 16 million different color options, making gels a thing of the past.

It’s rare for cheaper continuous lights to have a high CRI. There were some continuous lights which had peaks in one or two frequencies, making getting a good white balance difficult. If you are looking for a colour cast as an effect in your photography, that’s fine, but if you are looking for natural skin tones, that could be a problem.

But with modern cameras come higher ISO tolerances with lower noise, so shooting at ISO 800 isn’t a problem like it was 10-15 years ago. These continuous lights work exceptionally well in these settings. But let’s look at some of the advantages of studio strobes versus continuous lights.

Designer Tip: Backlighting a mirror creates drama in the bath and it also can serve up a mood changer for evening baths. And, even serve as a stylish way to light it as a night light.

Selective backlighting involves planning. Backlighting doesn’t mean that you have to outline everything in the room. It can look a little ‘Star Trek’ if you outline every picture, shelf, etc., in a room. And it can get a little visually frenetic. Your eyes will be in lighting overload and it will look more like a kid’s party place at the local bouncy-party place than your slick living room. Instead, focus on the TV or the mantel or that treasured wall art you created with your family.

Like anything in home design, it always settles on what you love. If you want a super-modern bright space-ship feel for your bedroom, you’ll want to have a cool light that’s super bright.

Continuous lights and studio strobes are both crucial tools in photography and videography, yet they serve distinct purposes. Continuous lights, primarily used in videography, provide constant and steady illumination, allowing for continuous lighting during video shoots. These lights emit a continuous, steady beam of light, enabling videographers to preview and adjust the lighting in real time. Continuous lights come in various forms, such as LED panels, fluorescent bulbs, or tungsten lights, each with unique qualities like color temperature control, portability, and brightness adjustment. They are ideal for shooting videos, interviews, and events where a consistent and constant light source is essential.

So with my time with three different continuous light designs (single point LED, Omni-directional LED panel, and whatever we want to classify the PavoTubes as), I found all three of them could work in a studio and replace strobes for specific photographers. While continuous light is much easier to use (because you can see the light placement in real-time), I’m not going to replace my strobes just yet. But let’s quickly look at the pros and cons of each platform – strobes versus continuous video lights.

I am an amateur but I have found that LEDs, close up to the subject are excellent, but powerful LEDs are expensive. Some LEDs designed for cars work just great and don’t cost an arm and a leg, as the Brits say, and some simple CN-126 LEDs are surprisingly cheap and run on 9V so you can attach them to a suitable PSU and run them all day long. The use of LEDs for me started with the fact that most of my cameras have a 1/60 flash synch speed, and that just rarely works for me in normally lighted rooms. So heap of LEDs and a flash for lightening purposes occasionally works great!

One of the best features of backlighting is that if you use lighting that’s battery operated or plug-ins, it will be easy to experiment and change the mood depending on the season and the reason.

Brightness is measured in lumens. The higher the lumens, the brighter the light. If you want your LED backlighting to be comparable to a 60-watt incandescent, go for an 800 lumen light.

The answer to that question is “Of course they can”, HMI lights have been around for years, and are exceptionally bright – but come with an exceptionally high price point. So instead, I decided to test my theory of continuous lights for photos, took three reasonably priced lights in the LensRentals.com inventory, and tested them in a photoshoot setting. So let’s take a look at my choices. As a preface to this article, I recommend you read my article about the various types of continuous lights from a couple of years ago as a refresher if you’re not very well-versed in video lights.

If you have experience with studio strobes, you’ll know that two of your three main camera settings will be constant. Low ISO (usually ISO 100), and a Shutter Speed at your max sync speed to avoid outside light disrupting the photos (Usually 1/125-1/250 depending on the camera). This is because the flash duration of a studio strobe is often in the 1000ths of a second, so shutter speed generally does not affect the image and light, and a low ISO will usually give you the cleanest image. With continuous lighting, though, your light is working much like any traditional light would. As a result, and especially with the lower overall brightness (it takes more energy to have a light output constantly than it does to flash for a fraction of a second), you’ll want to increase your ISO and lower your shutter speed a bit to better compensate for the overall lower light output. And because of that, these lights are most effective in indoor settings.

Next on the list is the Parabolix OMNI LED Lamp. Why did I choose this specific light? Well, because I love the Parabolix system as I’ve written about in the past, and this light was designed specifically for use with their Para systems. With its Omni-directional 2K output, the use for this light is pretty limited, but pairs well with a para, giving you sharp, focusable light in a pretty small package.

Finally is the PavoTube II from Nanlite. Another specialty light, these tubes take the shape of a 4′ fluorescent light tube, and give you full RGB control in a very small and easy-to-use package. While the least powerful on this list (or at least from my experience), they are still quite useable with a boost in your ISO settings. While I worry that these lights don’t have the power to light a full scene, and would instead use them as rim lights, other photographers have used them with great success in the past, and as main light fixtures in photography.

But if you’ve been on a commercial set in the last couple of years, you’ll likely see video crews working on one side of the studio, and photography crews working on the other, with a creative director asking why the two can’t merge to save both space and cost. And so, this article was born with the question “Can continuous lights be used in photography productions?”.

I went into this experiment excited to try some new lights different than my extensive strobe kits – and overall, I found the use of the lights to be easy and more than capable for stills photography. So let’s briefly go through each light, starting with the amaran.

Backlighting is what it sounds like: lighting that illuminates objects from behind. When you light from behind– a mirror, bed, artwork or TV—the object looks like it’s glowing. It’s lighting for big drama and a cool feeling. Backlighting is also a sneaky way to create modern mood lighting without having to spend a ton of money, or time, to make it happen.

In an effort not to bury the lede in this article, do these lights work in photography? Yes, they work great in photography…but they come with a few caveats. So let’s talk about those caveats.

Lighting is an effective way to change the mood in a room. While dimmers and programmable lighting seem to be gaining popularity, one underused way to light a home interior is with LED backlighting.
