# Elgato Key Light Air MK.2 > A smaller app-controlled panel for a key or fill light. - Lighting, High volume - Typical UK price: $130 to $160 (a typical band, not a live price) - Platforms: Whatnot, TikTok Shop, eBay, Vinted - Orders a week: 20–2000 - Checked October 7, 2026 A mid-size desk panel with app control, sized to sit on either side of a rip camera without crowding a narrow desk. Two of them light a card mat from both sides at about 45 degrees, which keeps a bright reflection off holo foil. Pick the full-size panel instead if it's your only light and you also want your face lit across a wide table. ## Setups - [Pro Whatnot streaming setup for card breaks](https://sellersetups.com/us/setups/pro-whatnot-streaming): A two-camera studio with app-controlled lights, a button pad for angles and a packing line, for card breakers shipping 80 to 300 orders a week. ## Narrow desks and matched pairs You stream from a narrow desk or want two matched lights on either side of a rip camera. The Air MK.2 is a mid-size panel that leaves room for a monitor, a mat and a stack of toploaders. Whatnot card sellers and TikTok Shop beauty sellers who go live several times a week run a pair as key and fill. As the only light for a wide table, the full-size panel covers more. ## 2,100 lumens over USB-C PD Elgato lists up to 2,100 lumens and a color range of 2,900 to 7,000 K. Power comes over USB-C: a computer's port gives about 400 lumens, and full output needs a USB-C PD adapter of 30 W or more. You control it from the app, from touch controls on the panel or from a Stream Deck. A grid on the front focuses the light into a tighter area and keeps it off the wall behind you. ## Two panels at 45 degrees to the mat Set one on each side of the mat at roughly 45 degrees, angled down from above lens height. Light from both sides fills shadows on sealed boxes and keeps the hot spot on holo foil away from the camera. Run the side facing you a little brighter than the other, with both on one color temperature. Give each a 30 W or higher USB-C PD charger, since a laptop port leaves them dim. ## Full-size Key Light, Mini or plain LED panels The Elgato Key Light is brighter and bigger, so choose it if one light has to cover you and a wide table. The Elgato Key Light Mini runs on battery for shows away from an outlet. Two LED video panels with stands cost less than one Air MK.2 and do a similar side-light job, without the app. A pocket LED video light makes a cheap fill beside it. ## Outlets and adapters for a pair Count your outlets before you buy two. Each panel wants its own USB-C PD adapter for full brightness, so a desk with a camera, a computer and two lights needs a power strip with enough spots. At $130 to $160 each, a pair costs about the same as one full-size panel plus a cheap fill. A narrow desk suits the pair; a wide one suits the single panel. ## Common mistakes - A laptop's USB-C port leaves it dim. Use a 30 W or higher USB-C PD adapter. - Raise both lights and angle them down; level with the lens, they bounce glare off slabs. - Set both panels to the same color temperature in the app, or the two sides clash. - Use the focus grid to keep light on the mat instead of the wall behind you. - As the only light for a wide table it falls short, and the full-size panel covers more. ## Guides - [Whatnot production setup: lights, camera and audio](https://sellersetups.com/us/guides/whatnot-production-setup): Which pro streaming kit to buy first, and which to skip, once your Whatnot shows outgrow a phone and a ring light. ## Questions ### Is the Air MK.2 bright enough on its own? For a face on a small desk, yes, with a 30 W or higher adapter. For a wide table or a dark room, pair it with a second light. ### Does it need Wi-Fi? It has touch controls on the panel. The app and a Stream Deck give you more control. ### Can I run it from a power bank? A USB-C PD power bank can run it at reduced output. Compare the bank's wattage with what the light needs. ### Should I buy one or two? Two give side light from both directions, which keeps glare off cards. One works as a face light.
