Smith-Victor LadyBug 1500 LED 3-Light Kit with Boom Arm

This stylish, compact LED light kit is perfect for working in small spaces as it produces quality light and very little heat compared to standard photofloods. No need for an umbrella or other diffusing light modifier due to the built in diffuser that produces wonderful soft light. The LadyBug is perfect for portraits, interviews or product photography.

With a high CRI of 95, this LED light source renders accurate color. The included 4-way barn doors can be mounted in the standard 90 degree position or in a 45 degree position allowing not only for additional control over light spill but also for creative lighting effects. The brightness can be easily controlled by the dimmer switch. Durable yet light weight!

One of the secrets to great lighting is the 3-point lighting technique used by all the pro’s: Key Light, Fill Light and Back Light:

Use a strong “key” light, predominantly lighting one side of your subjects face/body (left, right, it doesn’t matter)

Then, on the other side place a dimmed-down “fill” light (1/2 to 1/3 as much light) achieving the infamous 3:1 lighting ratio on their face
And behind your subject, a couple feet above their head (on the boom), a “rim” or “back” light is set at low power in back of your subject. Use this to outline your subjects head/body with light, creating separation from the background –one of the most important pro-lighting techniques, and can seriously increase the quality of your image ten-fold!
