Best On Camera LED Light Under $100 Check Out F&V Lighting K480

F-v-lighting-k480-led-light
The output of this light is quite remarkable.  Excellent daylight on camera fill light.  The F&V K480 beats the competition on light output, price, build quality and
included accessories. You won't be disappointed with F&V Lighting
products.

The K480 is compact in size and delivers a pure color
beam of daylight balanced light. It has multiple power options and
features F&V's Expandable Link System and SmartSync Control Circuit.

The
K480 features 72 Power LEDs that deliver 480 lx of illumination at
1-meter distance. This unit comes with two (2) magnetic filters: one (1)
tungsten filter and one (1) diffusion filter. These two filters allow
for you to respectively change your lights color balance to tungsten
(3200K) or diffuse its light beam.

The K480 features F&V's
unique Expandable Link System and SmartSync Control Circuit. The K480
unit features tenons that are capable of attaching/linking into the
mortises of the K160 light. The K480 has tenons on both of its sides
while the K160 has mortises on both of its sides. The K160 can serve as a
link in connecting multiple K480 or K320 units together. Please refer
to pictures for a visual example.

When the K-series lights are
linked together, they can be controlled via F&V's SmartSync Control
Circuit. The SCC allows for one of the lights to function as a "parent"
light to the other connected lights. The first light that is turned on
becomes the parent light and when you increase or decrease the parent
light's intensity, the children lights match the parent light's
intensity. Only the K320 and the K480 can function as parent lights.

The
K480 also features a 1/4"-20 female thread on both of its tenons. This
addition of thread-ins on the K480 allows you to mount the light on its
side in a portrait fashion.

The K480 can be powered in two ways. It can be powered by 4x AAA batteries, or it can be powered through its DC 2.5 jack.

Green Screen Tips

Important Chroma Key Green Screen or Blue Screen Tips

  • The secret to creating an easy to use chroma key background is to
    use soft lighting. Soft lighting produces near shadowless light.
    Shadows on a green screen or blue screen will make it more difficult to
    replace the background (with your photo or video) as the light levels
    will not be even. Soft lighting can be produced by using diffusion gel
    filters on light source, bouncing the light source or using fluorescent
    lighting.
  • Chroma Key Background / Backdrop must have even, seamless
    lighting across the entire area. No hot spots or dark areas. Check
    with a light meter or the auto exposure on your camera.
  • An important chroma key tip is to not have wrinkles in the
    green screen or blue screen fabric or backdrop. Stretch the chroma key
    backdrop tight.
  • Use separate set of lights just for lighting the chroma key
    background. Another set of lights should be used to light your subject.
    Three point lighting: Key, Fill, Back-light should be utilized when
    lighting your subject / product.
  • Distance is your friend. Move your subject as far away from
    the green screen as possible. 4ft would be a recommended minimum
    distance. As your subject is closer to green screen it creates two
    problems: A) a Shadow, B) Green light bounce back on to your subject
    which will then make it difficult to create a clean matte.
