Occasionally when I buy something  to help me make videos - I'll then make a video about that thing. This is one of those occasions. Over the last few weeks I've been trying to improve a couple of behind the scenes technical issues. One of these was sound, which should improve starting from the *next* video after this - I discovered an incorrect setting just after I'd completed editing this one. 

The other issue I'd been having was with lighting. This video is about that.

In other news - production has been difficult this month as I've been rather unwell for a good portion of it.  Nothing serious, just repeated bouts of colds and bugs. The only reason I mention this is that I may be forced to slightly reduce the number of videos I put out to give myself time to work on improving my overall health. I could certainly do with moving about more - this is a very sedentary occupation.  

So yes this video is unashamedly a bit of a filler - but it's all I could muster after that mammoth second Mission Impossible video edit. 

Hope 2019 is treating you well.  

UPDATE:  As is now tradition - following your input I've made some changes. Removed an adlib - added a section about the purpose of the plastic wedge (thanks for that) and while I was there I've done a quick demo with the lights at the end.

Apparently those panel lights are intended to be mounted from above and pointing down. When they are on floor stands and tilted down, the support arm fork is going to cast a shadow because the panel tilts back with the bottom lights shining on the back of the fork. Overhead mounting eliminates this problem.... unless they need to be tilted to illuminate something overhead...

Thank you very much for posting this! I shoot tabletop items for eBay -- mostly restored cameras and lenses but from time to time antique / vintage porcelain and glass. I'm using five LED bulbs in diffused conical reflectors, four mounted two each on tripods and one smaller one handheld as an accent light. The setup - like your old CFL rig - is cumbersome. Biggest problem is the color temperature. Household LED bulbs come in just three Kelvin flavors. My DSLR allows me to dial in a given Kelvin temperature, but the match is not ideal - particularly when trying to shoot white milk glass, or clear glass objects. And the color of the backdrop influences the way the camera records the object itself. That Neewer brand is well-established and carries a good reputation. The adjustable color temperature feature alone sells me on these - I can tune it shot by shot to match the colors of my subject and the background. Your demo video was most helpful. Now it's off to the web to buy two or three of these panels!
