Compatible with:
When using a single Key Light as an additional light source, you can position it alongside your
other light source to eliminate shadows on your face. If Key Light is your primary light source,
position it directly in front of you, just above your eyeline, angled downward at approximately
30 degrees. This lighting method creates a dramatic and professional look.
When using more than one Key Light, position them on either side of your desk, aimed at your
face at a 45-degree angle. This is the best way to properly illuminate a green screen or wall
that is behind you, and eliminate shadows that would be created by a single light source.
Key Light features adjustable brightness and color temperature, so you can set ideal lighting
conditions for your workspace.
