How to choose the appropriate number of lighting equipment according to the size of the studio?

When many friends first come into contact with studio setup, they are always dazzled by the various lighting equipment. Don't rush to place an order for lights. Today, I will teach you 5 steps to get the lighting configuration right, ensuring that you can achieve the desired effect without wasting money.

1. Measure the area first and then determine the quantity

To choose the right number of lighting equipment, we need to first understand the "size" of the studio. The area determines the basic quantity. A large studio definitely needs more lights, and if the height is high, the projection distance of the lights must also be considered.

2. Functional requirements should be segmented

Different purposes and scenarios require different lighting requirements. For interview and news programs, the lighting should be soft and even, with the focus on illuminating the host and guest areas. For artistic performances and drama programs, various lighting effects are used to create an atmosphere.

3. The types of lights should be mixed and matched

Don't think that buying a bunch of the same type of lights can solve the problem. The main light should be a Jin Yan LED flat panel light to illuminate the subject; the auxiliary light should weaken the shadow of the main light; the backlight should use Jin Yan LED film and television spotlights to outline the contour; there are also background lights, top lights, etc., different types of lights can be combined to achieve professional effects.

4. The budget is insufficient for such activities

The price of lighting equipment varies greatly, so there is no need to blindly trust imported brands. Nowadays, the quality of domestic LED lights is very good. First, ensure that basic lighting is in place, as the quality of the core light source directly affects the final film effect. Special lighting can be added in stages.

5. Don't ignore these details

Finally, a few easy-to-step-in-pitfalls are reminded:

For studios with a ceiling height exceeding 4 meters, it is recommended to use long-focal-length lighting fixtures to ensure that the light reaches the ground;

Rooms with numerous glass curtain walls should be mindful of ambient light interference and may require additional lighting;

After setting up the lighting, conduct a test shoot and adjust the equipment based on the actual situation.

At the beginning, you can buy basic models to try out the effect, and then gradually upgrade according to actual shooting needs. Remember, reasonable lighting is more important than piling up lights!
