A ring light in front reflects straight 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 Poshmark photos at the desk. If you later buy app-controlled panels, keep this pair as fill. ## Color temperature, CRI and stands You want adjustable brightness and color temperature, usually about 3200 to 5600 K, to match daylight. A CRI of 95 or higher keeps reds and skin tones true on camera. Buy stands that extend above head height and panels that run from a wall outlet. Some budget sets need batteries bought separately, so read what comes 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 hot spot slides off the edge of the frame. Set both panels to the same color temperature and lock your camera white balance to it. If your face looks flat, turn the panel on your face side a notch brighter. ## Ring light, softboxes or app-controlled panels The 18-inch ring light with stand works for faces and matte items but glares on foil. Two softbox lights with stands give softer, wider light for clothing and full-length shots, at the cost of floor space. An app-controlled desk panel costs more and sits on the desk. A small pocket LED is the cheapest fill if you only want one light. ## Running costs and care The pair costs $40 to $80, and you use it for every weekly show for years. LED panels draw little power and run cooler than halogen work lights. Fold the stands and bag the panels between shows. Check the stand locks each time; a falling panel can scratch 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. - Set both to the same color temperature; a warm panel beside a cool one tints the shot two ways. - Batteries often are not in the box. Read the listing and plan for wall power. - Tighten every lock and test each joint before you leave a stand raised. - Angle one panel to catch your face as well as the item, or your face stays dark. ## Guides - [How to run soccer card breaks on Whatnot](https://sellersetups.com/us/guides/football-card-breaks): Running Premier League, MLS and Champions League card breaks on Whatnot: picking a format, filling spots, ripping on camera and shipping each buyer's cards. ## 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-color panels that run from warm to cool let you match daylight or your room light. Pick those over fixed-color ones. ### Can they run on batteries? Some take camera-style batteries as an option. Check the listing for whether a wall adapter is included. ### Will they work for clothing photos? Flat lays and small items light well. A full outfit on a rack lights more evenly with softboxes.
