Is the lighting strong for videos?

hi You can replace the current bulbs with another stronger as I did. I'm not used to video. I used it for photography. But I expect it served

A lot depends on lighting. In the house, about 10 - 15' away under good lighting conditions & no backlight (behind the object) to skew the video. Under dim lighting, it's hard to capture a good image from any length. The video is grainy at best.

Yes, you should be able to use for video as the light is constant (not a flash). Depending on what you're shooting, you may want to get more than one to fill in shadows; and you'll definitely want to have extension cords. The cords included are not very long...they barely reach the ground if you have the unit extended all the way.

I actually bought this light for video productions, but soon noticed the brightness was not there, since then I've purchased a 20W LED and that one has worked well.

I have been shooting in "auto" mode for video so I am not sure. My video on You Tube "Face The DJ DJ Peace" is an example of a video containing some 'green screen' from my small studio using these lights in 'auto'. The shots with "DJ Peace" make-up will be obvious.

Not sure, just for you I tried in a "dimly lit room" that has one window, and video was quite good, best I can do...

I personally own this for filmmaking and I think it would be bright enough for sure. But mounting it would be hard unless you built something because it takes two hands to hold/operate unless it's on a camera.

The way I'm using it (for portraits, the room is not completely dark, and I use flashes), they are ok. I have noticed a very, very minor brightness when the flash was directed at it (i.e. I was trying to make it reflective to see how it reacts), but it was barely noticeable since I was looking for it.

In moderately lit indoor conditions, it looks perfectly fine. The darker you get, the less quality it is (obviously, ;D). For example, I'm in a room with no lights, a single window, on a rainy and cloudy day. The small amount of light coming in is surprisingly enough for the camera to get a decent picture (but I wouldn't want to film anything professionally without first turning on some lights). You can adjust the exposure yourself, which does improve the quality to an extent, but over exposure looks rather funky (on any camera). In the end, it's A-OK for a moderate to poorly lit/naturally lit room. Any darker than that and the camera has trouble focusing and getting decent quality. There are also several pre-set lighting conditions too which are rather useful. Combining those with manually white balancing and adjusting the exposure myself, I was able to greatly increase the quality of the picture compared to the auto-settings. But of course, the camera really is at it's best on a sunny afternoon. The picture quality is great when you're filming outside or in a well lit room. If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot!

You sure can. It's a very clear picture. There's really no glare from lights in the room either. I bought 2 for my 9 year old twin boys for their birthday and they love them. They use them constantly!

No I don't think it did. It's not as bright as I would have liked but it does help light my videos

I don't recommend this kind light for music video. because being too hot . If the work space is small you can use LED light.

I have heard that the brightness is really only a problem in the show rooms. Once you take it home and start watching it under more "normal" lighting conditions then it looks good. For the most part "cinema" mode and the like just lower the brightness so that it is not overwhelming when you are watching it in a darker room.

I have only used it a couple times, but with normal lighting, it works just fine. At our church's school, they use the same projector. I have used this once to present a Civil War picture program and in a very well lit restaurant situation, again, it performed very well. I don't believe that you will be displeased with it in any kind of lighting situation.

I hear they are better for video than photography since they are constantly on. I use them for lighting while I paint myself.
