I need this to make my youtube videos, Do you think this will work to illuminate the area that I need?

Unfortunately no. This is a very simple light. It is basically a light bulb on a stick. I got the to augment and existing system I already have. The stands are ultra-flimsy. I would not have purchased these but they were so cheap. Spend a few extra bucks and get a nice set of lights with aluminum covers. There are many discount photo shops online that sell better quality. Amazon sells lots of them. You really need tungsten lights of at least 300 watts times two.

By itself this light will probably not provide enough light for your needs (2 of them may do the job). I have found the umbrella on this not to be very effective at dispersing the light, and I am currently planning on replacing it. I would suggest spending a little more for a better lighting setup.

Depends on the size of your shop and how bright you need it to be. I would say generally, yes but it may be a little dim.

It should work just fine. If you use the two lights to create soft light on your subject, you won't have a lot of control over the amount of light on your background. So your background may be darker depending on how far away it is from the subject. That might be the desired effect though.

Yes it should be fine. I use it to illuminate my audio/visual equipment in a home theater room. It's bright enough but not obnoxious. Good luck

It can produce fairly good images at low light but resolution is not too high to begin with and there needs to be some light; pitch black and it won't see anything (no surprise). If identifying faces is important, I would not use this product unless it is in a well-lit area.

I guess it would work in a covered area. The light isn't that bright though. Maybe equivalent to a very bright nightlight, but with larger radius.

For the money, this is a good setup for YouTube videos. If the video only has one subject, putting two lights in each umbrella and getting them really close is plenty of light. It works like a beauty ring at that point. Good luck!

The best answer I can give you is .... maybe... I ditched mine after 3 videos because it is very difficult to get even lighting. I went with LED's. You can try it, and if you have the patience you should be able to pull it off. You do get 3 lights and you'll need all 3.

yes - there are good examples of how to use it on YouTube. From lighting to how to collapse the thing for storage.

Yes it will but depending on your expectations. The lumens are enough we are currently using ours for school, it meets the need for the bucks. But if you are in advertising or high definitions is needed for your presentations, probably it will be better to invest in a more expensive model. If your presentations are more in-house I will say it ok, meets the needs and can be seen either in a darker room or with daylight with out any issue.

Hello, Terry, I utilize the camera to film my YouTube cooking show. It does seem to have a problem maximizing standard light sources (apartment lighting), which might impact your filming. I have personally struggled to get the light sensors to create bright video even when every light in the kitchen is on. On the plus side, the camera does produce high quality, very large image files. It works for YouTube, but how it would translate to a full blown filming depends on if you are utilizing industry lighting or shooting in bright sunlight. If so, it should work well. If you are going to film in low light or darkened outdoor conditions, you might want to search elsewhere.

It should work for that but if you are going to mount it to a wall I would go with a regular screen that the light wont go through. I think this is best used for rear projection. But that is my opinion.

Hi, I use it for the makeup shoots . But you need to know that it's not enought if you stand as far as a foot from you client. Better use some really good lighting

No I do not think this light would work well for that. It is bright but only for a small circle area under its top. The light doesn't project well. I think you would be straining your eyes.

I would use it for drawing and it will illuminate whatever is right under it quite well but I don't think it would be optimal for working on a surface that is larger than say 2 ft wide. As for color accuracy, the light is pretty close to natural sunlight.
