Will these lights help with at home taping for auditions?

Yes they spread a lot of light and you are able to cast shadows with them very well.

I use them for my YT videos so I say yes but I have upgraded one bulb for a larger watts other than that they are perfect for my lighting and videos are better

They are great for small area lightening, so yes. I like that everything is included.

These lights do a good job for a small stage. I used them to supply light to my band on a stage that is about 15 to 20 feet across. If you are going to light up a dance floor you may need to get a second set. I have contemplated that but haven't yet. As i posted in my review the foot switch is a little confusing to operate but in time it will work out for me. Another concern is that AM DJ doesn't have a longer cable to run the lights in tandem or farther from the stage and footswitch. I have purchased the special plugs and wire to make a longer run for the lights but haven't yet. All in all the lights are nice, light and compact and a decent deal for $250. Hope this helps you.

As long as you have a USB port available to plug the lights into, SURE!....but for a 40" I would recommend getting more than 1 set as these are only six LEDs, but yeah these look good anywhere :)

Im not sure that these would be bright enough for makeup. They give a good light for video, but compared to a vanity light bar, that are not that bright. Plus their size might be prohibitive.

I think by 'gigging lights' OP meant 'FROG GIGGING', not musical stage lighting. This should work fine for frog gigging.

If they were more reliable, they would be fine. We use(d) them to light interviews in a dim room about 2 hours a week. However, we bought 2 kits (6 lights) and 3 of them have ceased to function. We have had them less than a year. Additionally, they tend to blow through bulbs pretty quickly. They were good to get us started but we are ready to upgrade to better quality.

I can only guess that it would and, for the price and the good return policy, I would suggest you give it a try. The only thing I haven't been able to do is figuring out how to put the batteries in to give the light a try. Even without the light, it works for me. I think you may have your own more powerful "spot" lighting so it may not matter that much to you.

These ARE paper thin, and if the lighting is cool to warm, they should work well for you. They did not work well in my application however. They were sold as being able to be used with hot theatrical lighting, but they will melt and ruin anything moderately hot that they come in contact with. Hope this helps.

it depends on your setup. I've used it for green screen along with other lights--as long as your entire lighting is fairly balanced, you should have a good key. These lights are pretty bright and can be adjusted with the dimmer.

I agree with Dustin. These work great for lighting "effects" but not much more than that. 8 may do the trick but I can't personally attest to that. We use 4 of them against a back wall for some really nice color ambient effects. I'm definitely happy with the lights at this price for this purpose, but they're not gonna light a whole lot if you're looking to illuminate a stage.

I don't know why not. You won't have a hair light or background light, but you'll have a main and a fill. I have two pair, so I could use my second pair to light a distant background. If your clothes rack & makeup case are close enough, the fall-off of your main and fill should light the background fine. For a hair light, I got a ePhoto 600 LED Professional Studio Video Light Panel - ePhoto 600 LED Professional Studio Video Light Panel Photography Lighting Sony V Mount by ePhotoinc CN600SD which I put on a large boom I already own.

Yes it should be fine, but I think these are best for small items so I wouldn't use for much more than lights. You should get a piece of paper saying which one is which in the box

These could very well work for that. This comes with a 150W flood bulb that will provide a lot of light coverage at that distance at a decent brightness. These lights are usually used in multiple sets to make more light or have colors in front of each to provide color effects on the same area. If you were unhappy with how wide it is, and you would not like to move it, try going to Home Depot in looking for a halogen Par38 bulb that is 90W and a spot, not a flood, coverage. This will give you a much narrower beam and more brightness at that distance in a much smaller area (less overall light, but more of it in a smaller place). Ultimately, the black metal part is just a bulb holder and a cord set to plug it in, and all of the lighting brightness and how narrow or wide it is is dependent on the bulb, which can be easily swapped out since it uses a standard size lightbulb thread. Just like buying a room lamp at a store, how the light acts is all about the bulb. The casing on this bulb is black and has a gel frame spot to suggest more of a usage for performance and entertainment. But at this price, it doesn't hurt to try one and see what you think. I happen to use these at one of the performance space I oversee. They use a set of 8 of these units, with the 90W bulbs that are spots, with 4 on either side of the room pointed across the stage evenly - the throw distance being 15-25'. They are hooked up to a dimmer panel for entertainment that can be controlled by an entertainment lighting console. This is a very cheap option to get started and go from here.

No not really. These lights are good for talking heads and interviews but if u want to light a room you still need tungsten lights.

Maybe. Depends on your tv mount. If it's right up against the wall you may have a hard time taping it to the tv. This system is just a double stick tape strip of LED lights. I hope that helps.

Hello Deb, I own a mobile DJ company, and we use these for up lighting against walls, and they are more than bright enough to do this. I don't know how exactly you plan on using these, but there are brighter one's, and I would recomend spending the extra $20.00 per light if you plan on using them for anything else than up lighting. Hope this helps, and answers your question. Craig

Luis, yes the lights would be good for make up and Youtube videos. With these three lights, you are able to manipulate and place the light in any angle to suit your needs. However, we would recommend soft boxes because soft boxes focuses the light on the subject and also come with a diffuser panel to soften the subject. These set of three lights do not come with diffuser covers, so we recommend getting white gels (which we sell on our website) for an extra accessory. Please feel free to call us at 1-800-495-8148 for further assistance. We appreciate your inquiry. Regards, Alex G
