Choosing an LED video panel means weighing several things at once. The calculator compares two panels on light output, efficiency, color quality, and cost per lux of light delivered at a set distance, and suggests a winner for your type of shoot, such as interviews, product videos, or streaming. The same panel can be a good choice for one job and a poor one for another.
Color quality is important for video. Look at the color rendering index and, for broadcast and film, the television lighting consistency index, where higher is better and values above 90 are considered good. Bi color panels can change from warm to cool light, which is useful when you must match daylight or room lighting.
Output figures from manufacturers are not always measured the same way, so compare panels at the same distance and the same beam angle. Check that the panel is flicker free at the frame rates and shutter speeds you use, and consider the size of the panel, since larger sources give softer, more flattering light on faces. Think about power, battery life, dimming range, and accessories such as diffusers.
