The guys fromĀ Indie Tips came out with this interesting LED light guide for video shooting and filmmaking on a budget. They cover some basic LED concepts and differences from more traditional lights and look at several relatively low-cost options.
LED lighting is becoming increasingly popular in recent years and is now a common alternative to tungsten lighting in many applications., This tutorial look at some of the main differences there are between them, some examples of cheap LED models, and a somewhat deeper look at the new Aputure Lightstorm LS1s LED Light Panel.
Here are the lights which are mentioned in this video:
- HDV-Z96 96 LED Light Kit – from F&V (it actually cost about $83).
- Yongnuo 160 which sells for only $52.
As for theĀ Aputure LS1s LED Light Panel,Ā photographerĀ Curtis JuddĀ recently did a full review on this interesting light which you can watch below:

The Aputure LS1s LED is obviously much more capable and much more powerful – being able to replace a 1K light – is also more expensive at just under $700.
