Has anyone got any suggestions for good cheap studio lighting? My blog is here: http://www.eevblog.com As you can see I film almost entirely in my workshop in a fixed seated position: http://www.alternatezone.com/images/WorkshopBeforeAfter.jpg I currently have two strip fluoros, one above and to the side, and the other above directly in front and above. Plus two standard CFL's in the garage a fair way away.
Not the best lighting conditions by far, I know, so I'd like to improve. I'm aware that fluoro's are pretty horrible to film under too. I've tried a 500W halogen flood light on stand, but it's just too bright, too hot, and the stand gets in the way. I'm after something I can mount on the wall in front of me to replace or supplement the current fluoro in front that lights me face-on. I'm thinking possibly some form of LED strips I can mount down the wall perhaps? (e.g. eBay have tons of these types of LED strips) I'm not supposed to be spending money on my "silly blog" :->, so can't really spend hundreds on a solution to this. Any advice or pointers appreciated. Thanks Dave.
