Lighting for Wargaming Photos and Videos

Hi all,

I was lucky enough to receive some LED lights as a present recently, they have proved to be a great addition to the games room for taking photos and doing the Utubes video.

I've done a video going through the functions of the lights and then put some samples of photos on the blog post.

Hopefully of use to those who photo their figures.

It looks like a neat set-up and I ordered the same thing yesterday, taking advantage of an Amazon discount which only lasted a few hours.

It’s due to be delivered today so I’m in eager anticipation.

Thanks for the tip.

Caught this on your recent You Tube post . Looks like a useful piece of kit , the L.E.D. lights can be dimmed independently and , of course , stay cool . Wish I could get my missus to give me Wargames related presents 🎁.
