TikTok Lamp – Best Videos with Professional Lighting
For several years now, the social media platform TikTok has delighted its users with the ability to share self-made, and often funny, short videos with others. The right lighting is crucial for the perfect picture or video. A suitable TikTok lamp is ideal for showcasing your self-created videos in the best possible light.
What is meant by a TikTok lamp?
Photos and videos thrive on proper lighting. It's no coincidence that professional film shoots employ several people to ensure perfect lighting. To make your TikTok videos or photos for other social media posts shine in the perfect light, a TikTok lamp is ideal.
This is a so-called ring light, which ensures optimal lighting in your videos. You can place your smartphone in the center of the TikTok lamp's ring to record your desired video. The area in front of the camera lens is perfectly illuminated by the surrounding light of the TikTok lamp. This results in perfectly lit photos and videos that you can share with others.
Buying a TikTok lamp – here's what you need to know
To find the right TikTok lamp for your needs, you should pay particular attention to a few important points before buying. These include, above all:
The luminosity of the ring light
Besides the maximum brightness of your TikTok lamp, its adjustable settings are also important. This allows you to customize the lighting of your videos and photos to match the natural ambient light. At least four different brightness levels are recommended, and the general rule is "the more, the better."
The size of the light ring
When choosing the right TikTok light, size is also important. If you primarily take selfies or videos where only your face is visible, a ring size of 10 to 15 cm is sufficient. For full-body shots, however, the ring light should have a circumference of 45 to 50 cm.
The light color
Classic ring lights usually only offer white or warm orange light. Modern LED ring lights, on the other hand, sometimes allow you to individually adjust and change the light color. This way, you can give every photo a special touch and make it shine in the perfect light.
The light temperature
Besides the color temperature of the light, the color temperature of your TikTok lamp also has a significant impact on the final appearance of your videos and photos. The higher the color temperature in Kelvin, the cooler and bluer the light appears. For the most natural-looking light, a color temperature of 4,000 to 6,000 Kelvin is recommended.
How to use your TikTok lamp ideally
To make the most of a ring light as a TikTok lamp, using a tripod is recommended. Ideally, the tripod should be height-adjustable so you can adjust the height of the ring light to suit the situation.
The remote shutter release also plays a crucial role in choosing the right TikTok light, impacting ease of use. A wireless remote offers significantly greater convenience than a wired one. Especially if you plan to move around a lot while recording video or shooting, a wireless remote is practically indispensable.
