A ring light in front bounces straight back into the lens. Panels at the sides send it past the frame. As a first lighting kit it works on any platform, from Whatnot card breaks to Vinted photos at the desk. If you later buy app-controlled panels, keep this pair as fill. ## Colour temperature, CRI and stands You want adjustable brightness and adjustable colour temperature, usually around 3,200 to 5,600 K, to match daylight. A CRI of 95 or higher keeps red and skin tones true on camera. Buy stands that extend above head height and panels that run from mains. Some budget sets need batteries bought separately, so read the listing for what's in the box. ## Angling both panels at 45 degrees Stand one panel each side of the item at about 45 degrees, a little above it, angled down. Tilt a holo card on camera and adjust until the bright reflection falls off the edge of the frame. Set both panels to the same colour temperature and lock your camera's white balance to it. If your face looks flat, raise the panel on your face side a notch brighter than the other. ## Ring light, softboxes or app-controlled panels The 18 in ring light with stand works for faces and matt items but glares on foil. Two softbox lights with stands give softer, wider light for clothing and full-body shots, at the cost of floor space. An app-controlled desk panel costs more and fits on a desk. A small pocket LED light is the lowest-cost fill if you only want one light. ## Running costs and care The pair costs £45 to £75, and you use it on every weekly show for years. LED panels draw little power and run cooler than halogen lights. Store the stands folded and the panels in their bag between shows. Check the stand locks each time; a falling panel can mark a slab or crack a display case. ## Common mistakes - Both panels straight in front of the item bring the glare back. Move them to the sides. - Match colour temperature on both; a warm panel beside a cool one tints the shot two ways. - Batteries often aren't in the box. Read the listing and plan for mains power. - Tighten every lock and test each joint before you leave a stand raised. - Tilt one panel to cover your face as well as the item, or your face stays dark. ## Guides - [How to run football card breaks on Whatnot](https://sellersetups.com/guides/football-card-breaks): Running Premier League and Champions League card breaks on Whatnot: picking a format, filling spots, ripping on camera and posting each buyer’s cards. - [Whatnot lighting setup for cards and products](https://sellersetups.com/guides/whatnot-lighting-setup): Place two lights so holo cards show their surface without a white glare stripe, and products keep true colour on a phone camera in a Whatnot show. ## Questions ### Are two panels better than a ring light for cards? For holo and foil, yes. Side light keeps the reflection out of the lens. ### Do I need daylight-balanced panels? Bi-colour panels that run from warm to cool let you match daylight or your room light. Pick those over fixed-colour ones. ### Can they run on batteries? Some take camera-style batteries as an option. Check the listing for whether a mains adapter is in the box. ### Will they work for clothing photos? Flat lays and small items light well. A full outfit on a rail lights more evenly with softboxes.
