Do You Need Small, Medium, or BIG Video Lights?

Searching for the right video lights can quickly feel confusing and overwhelming. Three of the most common light sizes are typically about 60, 220, and 320 watts, so this video takes a look at each size and how it might fit into your specific workflow!

This video is not sponsored, but iFootage did send me the Anglerfish lights and accessories for free. I’m under no obligation to make a video about them, or to say anything specific, and nobody watched this video before it was published.

– Who Am I? –

Hi! My name is Tom Buck. As a lifelong A/V nerd, I’m here to help you level up the audio and video quality of your streams, podcasts, puns, and videos. I was a high school Digital Media teacher for 11 years, and I started this channel in 2017 as a project to share my enthusiasm for digital media and teaching others while having fun along the way.

New videos are uploaded every Thursday morning, and more often when possible!
