Product photography with LED lighting
“A few days ago, as I was passing through the new Dynaphos showroom, my eyes fell on a compact kit suitable for product photography – the NanGuang CN-T96 LED lighting kit (3 pcs). After 5 minutes of negotiations, I had a suitcase-like box in my hands and was walking back to the Photo Cafe studio with the idea of spending a few interesting hours.
To be honest, I prefer using impulse studio monoblocks and a large table for product photography. This pleasure, besides being much more expensive, also requires certain skills and experience in photography. Unlike impulse lighting, continuous lighting is much easier to work with (I'm referring to beginner photographers) because the result is immediately visible in real-time. You have no limitations on what camera you will shoot with – whether it's a compact, mirrorless, DSLR, or even a mobile phone. There's no need for special synchronizers or cable connectors. You aim, frame on the display, and shoot (often in 100% automatic mode).
. . .
LED panels like the NanGuang CN-T96 are powerful, compact, durable, and long-lasting enough for you to rely on them for a long time. The panel consists of 96 diodes with a color temperature of 5600 Kelvin and an almost full light spectrum. They are covered with a diffuse surface. Its power is 18W. The kit we are talking about today includes 3 such panels.”
