Need help picking the right continuous lighting setup?
Choosing the right continuous lighting depends on your subject, space, and shooting style. LED panels are great for low-heat, energy-efficient setups, while fluorescent kits provide broad coverage and soft output. Consider color temperature, brightness, and portability when selecting your gear. For photographers needing short, intense bursts of light, take a look at our Strobe Lighting collection.
Popular Types of Continuous Lighting
LED Lighting Panels
LED panels offer long-lasting performance, adjustable brightness, and an adjustable color temperature ideal for both studio and on-location shoots.
Fluorescent Lighting Kits
Fluorescents provide soft, even light that’s perfect for portraits or product photography, often used in multi-bulb setups for full coverage.

Continuous Lighting FAQs
What’s the difference between continuous and strobe lighting?
Continuous lighting stays on, allowing real-time visual adjustments, while strobe lighting flashes only during exposure, offering more power but requiring more precision.
Are LED lights better than fluorescent lights?
LED lights typically last longer, run cooler, and offer greater control over brightness and color temperature than fluorescent and tungsten options.
Can I use continuous lighting outdoors?
Yes, but you’ll need powerful units or reflectors to balance ambient light. For shaping and modifying outdoor light, consider our Reflectors & Light Modifiers.
