The portability of your beauty light is related to the type of YouTube video you want to create. Portability is not an important factor if you plan to shoot in studio conditions, but if you want to shoot at different locations every day, portability is something you must consider.

Many people tend to ignore the heat dissipation performance when purchasing the photographic light. In fact, whether the heat dissipation performance of the photographic light is good is an important factor affecting the service life of the photographic light.
Led will emit a lot of heat when working. If it is not cooled in time, the high temperature will greatly reduce the overall life of the camera. The ring lights from GEMWON are made of ABS material with better heat dissipation performance, and the vent holes are also designed as much as possible.

The most common lighting setup is called 3-point lighting. This configuration includes a key light, a fill light and a backlight that can also be called a hairlight.
The key light should be three bright and provide plenty of light for your theme.
This fill light eliminates shadows from the main source. Your fill should not be as strong as your key, so although it still eliminates shadows,the fill and key lights match too tightly instead of flat lenses.
The backlight separates the subject from the background. Your backlight may be glare (no diffuse) because it does not create a visible shadow on the main body.
