When it comes to lighting, the three main types that you can choose from are speedlights, single lights, and packages and heads. All three have their own pros and cons, and if you’re thinking of investing in your own lighting system, it’s important to know which is best for your job. This great video tutorial will show you the details of all three options and help you decide which one to choose.
Coming to you from John GressThis great video tutorial discusses the difference between speed lights, single lampand packing and head system. The two most fundamental differences of these three options are form factor and power. Flashlights are the most portable and generally the cheapest. The single lamp sits in the middle and offers significantly more power but at a higher price point. They are also larger and require a dedicated stand, although they contain built-in battery packs. The packing system and the head sit at the top. They separate the light from the battery pack, have the advantage of keeping most of the weight on the ground, plus they tend to provide the most power, although they are often the most expensive. There are other pros and cons as well, so check out the video above for a full rundown from Gress.
