I make independent films. Are these bright enough to light two subjects with white light for a scene with limited light in room?

Heck to the no man, invest in some real lighting if you're making films man these are only back ups for fill lol

I actually expected these bright lights, but they were very yellow, is white that I love, how I can help?----en realidad yo esperaba estas luces brillante, pero resultaron muy amarillas, es blancas que la quiero, como me puedes ayudar?

Not at all. These are fill/accent lights. I bought them to supplement my lighting setup, but I would never use them as mains.

I usually use them to highlight my subject and add warmth. I also use soft box lamps to light the overall scene and led lights in the background for flare effects

These lights won't light a room. They are only sufficient for a very small light box which is what I purchased them for. Also the bulbs are veryfragile and one blew out when I received the set. the socket is special so you can't use almost any other bulb. The stands are okay so I now use them as bed reading lights. I hope this helps.

Hi Tessa, I found this lighting to be sufficient for video. You can visit my youtube channel, and you will see the scenes I was able light with this kit. My Youtube name is Tashatorch

I personally felt these were of sub-standard quality and I was not happy with the quality of light. I am not sure how your setup would be, but this one is suitable for small setups and I got this for product photography.

Dim lights. It works fine in my living room, circa 150 square feet, with one 100-watt bulb. The image was barely visible in my Sunday school classroom with a ceiling full of flourescent lights on. I had to turn the lights off and let the room just be lit by light coming in the windows. So no, I don't recommend it for use in a brightly-lit room. This projector appears to be intended to watch movies with lights out or dim more than to make business/classroom presentations. It's usable if you can dim the lights or turn them off, but not ideal.

I have used these at indoor concerts and they worked great. They do not amplify light but use what is available and do it well.

I think so. The bulbs don't get very hot. 110 is plenty. I'm thinking anymore than that it will look over exposed... And this also depends on the type of photography/video productions you're going to do. I was satisfied with them but only a little close up. I think you would have to find a bigger soft box. The bigger the soft box the better quality the light. These really need to be used close unless you adjust your camera settings and even then, some come out grainy looking. This really is a good deal for the price, but the boom stand is really sensitive and the soft boxes tip over easy. I broke one of the bulbs in mine. I think so.

I actually bought this light for video productions, but soon noticed the brightness was not there, since then I've purchased a 20W LED and that one has worked well.

No, these lights are strobes, the flash only lasts for a fraction of a second. You would need continuous lighting for video.

I don't think it will be a problem. I just shot a film and used this light as my primary and it worked fine- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3kNwW75z88&list;=PL-jvR5L4qMbXdIod18v1BqQJf3_fkF74N&index;=4. Another light I was thinking of getting was the Aputure Amaran 528. Here is a video showing their capibilities- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abo-CgPjWo4

it depends. some are better quality than the others, all depends on the pictures you are lightscribing

Yes they can. They work very well inside. You have to pay attention to other artifical lights in the room, e.g. the ceiling light, so that their isn't a glare or bright spot that blinds a portion of the field of vision. Several attempts at adjusting the camera to an appropriate angle usually can diminish this effect.

They are absolutely bright enough depending on the color. So if you put on RED then it is bright but not like the whitest light they can be. I have three in a medium sized living room and on the brightest setting it is very bright in the room.

Yes they are pretty bright for a small light, it can light up part of a room

It depends on the wattage of the other lights. Too much light out of balance will make a poor picture and difficult to make the proper settings.

These lights should be fine just make sure that you have at least two of them. 1 for key lighting and the other for fill lighting and try to use and plain background (nothing behind you ) your videos will probably get better views for presentation.

These ARE paper thin, and if the lighting is cool to warm, they should work well for you. They did not work well in my application however. They were sold as being able to be used with hot theatrical lighting, but they will melt and ruin anything moderately hot that they come in contact with. Hope this helps.
