I am building up a garage studio and have a c stand setup with an overhead camera (Canon 5d Mark II with EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS) somewhat similar to the setup here.
I’ve been researching overhead, and side lights and the ones I got to see look very expensive.
What do you recommend for the highest lumens (in the price range), a single overhead setup that can be fixed to a boom bar (on a c stand), a 95-98 CRI, daylight, don’t need battery, has a dimmer, spot light, preferably LED (low heat and power), nearly 29x17’’ (not fixated on this – picked up on the kinoflo website) in dimensions, subject as a 40x25’’ table, has the ability to be mount and in the $100-300 range.
I got some good advice for a Aputure Amaran AL-528W, but not sure if the 9.37 x 7.48 light can spread to a 40x25’’ table.
I also got some advice for a PAR 64 but not sure my garage setup can contain the heat this thing generates.
Note: this is for continuous lighting and not for flashes
