Are these lights good for makeup Youtube videos? I need to buy some for my girlfriend.

I don't have experience with that specifically. However, they are pretty good. It's light and easy to maneuver. If I had to guess, I would say it could do the job.

Luis, yes the lights would be good for make up and Youtube videos. With these three lights, you are able to manipulate and place the light in any angle to suit your needs. However, we would recommend soft boxes because soft boxes focuses the light on the subject and also come with a diffuser panel to soften the subject. These set of three lights do not come with diffuser covers, so we recommend getting white gels (which we sell on our website) for an extra accessory. Please feel free to call us at 1-800-495-8148 for further assistance. We appreciate your inquiry. Regards, Alex G

They work great in low light...I've used them at night driving, and in the bedroom,great footage ;-)

These are 100 Watt Second lights and suitable for table top photos. For portrait they are a bit weak as they will not allow for higher f-stops at a distance. They can be used as a fill light or accent light when using a main light. For the low cost these are good and can be adjusted to produce different levels of light.

It's nice and bright so it probably would work well for putting on makeup. I use one to provide a good source of light for dressing/bandage changes and for any other detail work.

I would say yes....these are really decent lights.Now i got some phillips that are twice the price for use in the in the kitchen and the are a little more brilliant.These replaced 40 watt incandesent bulbs in a bathroom fixture,and they are just a tic less bright but i really dont notice it.

I have two recommendations. either look up make-up lights or LED lights on Amazon. the stands used for this type of light are not really appropriate for make-up. the other two searches will give you plenty of economical options that will work perfectly for your application

They are bright enough. However, I've been having problems with visible pulsating when the lights are dimmed below 60%. Not totally noticeable with the naked eye, but the pulsating appears on the video in post production.

It depends on your needs. They'll illuminate, but odds are they all won't produce a very strong spotlight effect although some will. They're also about the size of a woman's fist and they are a very cool light.

not bad at all, you need to know how to position them best to use the little light you have. like if you have a tv on, you dont want to point into the light .

Sure. They're a good source of light, only problem is using them to try to see things where color matters. Don't try tracing electric wires with them, if there's any color code. But, if your power goes out, GREAT to have. Safe for kids, unlike candles. You're not going to read with them, but to keep you from walking into stuff, great.

I am using them as back up lights. There are 5 1.5w plasma LEDs there is an heat sink on the case. They should be fine in continuous use. I have seen them in H3 fog-light form. I would get two sets if you need a pair. Sometimes one of the elements will flicker. I would get 4 keep the best 2 and return the second set. They are all made in china and the quality is inconsistent. This gives off the best 360 light and runs cooler than all the others I have tried.....DO-NOT use the 5w cree's in continuous operation.

I would recommend 2 of these. They give a very soft light and I use 2 set up above and behind the camera for my YouTube videos just remember that this is just a soft box so you need to buy lights and stands also. For video I would recommend a cfl based video light because they are cheap and neewer makes light stands for around $15 each and they will do everything you need for simple YouTube videos.

I agree with Dustin. These work great for lighting "effects" but not much more than that. 8 may do the trick but I can't personally attest to that. We use 4 of them against a back wall for some really nice color ambient effects. I'm definitely happy with the lights at this price for this purpose, but they're not gonna light a whole lot if you're looking to illuminate a stage.

These lamps are very good to use for your video shooting I use them photographing wedding, portraits also video. :-)

These lights will work great for any background. When you dont have that natural light or you want to improve the light you have.

Yes, it's a specific kind of lighting, but I use it for short videos almost every day and it creates soft natural looking light. They are kinda flimsy, not very weighted or strong, but work for my purposes, because they basically stay put in a studio. Good luck...
