Video Lighting FAQ

Why do I need dedicated video lights instead of room lighting?

Room lighting is designed for human eyes—not for cameras. It often causes:

• Uneven or unflattering shadows

• Flickering under camera exposure

• Mixed colour temperatures that look unnatural

Video lights provide consistent, flicker-free, colour-balanced lighting that dramatically improves your image quality. It helps subjects look professional and keeps your footage clean.

What’s the difference between COB lights and LED panels?

• COB lights (Chip-on-Board) emit a powerful, focused beam from a single point. They’re ideal for directional lighting and look great with softboxes or reflectors.

• LED panels provide a broader, softer wash of light and are good for fill or background lighting.

If you need a strong, flexible main light, COB lights are your best choice—and that’s what we include in our livestream packages.

What power rating (e.g., 100W, 200W, 300W, 500W) do I need?

The wattage you need depends on the size of your shooting space, the number of subjects, and how much ambient light you have. Here’s a quick guide:

All CineJade kits are matched to their camera coverage—so you get the right power for your package.

Do I need softboxes or modifiers?

Yes—if you want flattering, soft, cinematic light. Softboxes diffuse the light and reduce harsh shadows on faces or backgrounds.

Our kits always include softboxes matched to the light size and power—so you don’t have to figure it out separately.

Can I use your lights for both photography and video?

Absolutely. Our COB lights are flicker-free and have a high CRI rating (Color Rendering Index), which ensures accurate colours for both stills and video.

Whether you're livestreaming, filming interviews, or taking portraits—one light can do it all.

Are your lights dimmable and colour-adjustable?

Yes. Most CineJade lights are:

• Dimmable (0–100%) for flexible exposure

• Available in daylight (5600K) or bi-colour (3200K–5600K) models

• Some models also support remote or app control

Let us know your needs and we’ll match the right model.

• COB video light

• Softbox or reflector modifier
