So let's have a look at some studio light buying tips. Some key buying tips of studio lights, by Matt lights What I mean by that when you first start out if you're buying new studio lights try and buy all from the same manufacturer. They'll often the ratios and the way they measure light will be the same. If you mix and match from different manufacturers. What you're going to find is that some measure their light increases in one way and some in others. I use Ellen crumbs for instance.

So all my lights Ellen Crump, that way. I know that all the power ratios match and Ellen chrome are known for that. So if you've got the budget, I do recommend adding Chrome's make sure they have modern lights because the modern lights will help you to get a general idea of how the light is gonna fall on the subject. So make sure that that feature is there on your studio lights who by Studio Lies never top tip. And in Chrome, the lights and a reasonably priced very high quality, but the modifiers really expensive. So whenever you choose a system, make sure you choose a system that's got lots of third party modifiers.

So I can buy nearly every variation of the Ellen crumb nearly with third party from third party supplies, which means I can probably save half to two thirds on the cost of some, especially the larger ones of some of the modifiers. Now obviously the Ellen chrome ones for instance, I use the light at a very good quality, but the third party ones might be a little bit heavier, but they're going to produce pretty much the same light. A lot of times you don't have to tell the difference. And you will save yourself a lot of money. Now one of the things you want as well is you want to make sure your lights have got built in triggers and receivers. You don't have to be by separate triggers and receivers and firing flashes when I use the onion crumbs for instance, I can control the lights from my trigger, I can literally turn the lights up and down from there if I want to.

So look for that feature as well. Always get good quality standards. The stand you're going to get with a lion king, even violent crimes often not that good. But the stands you probably want to consider those that have got shock absorbers built in so that if a light does fall, it's going to bounce and you won't kill your light. So there's some top buying tips when it comes to studio lights and let's carry on with the rest of the course.
