It depends. If they are being used as the primary light, then definitely use a tripod (I always use one, even if there’s enough light to just hold the camera). Exposure times will be close to a second. If going for the dark background, set the E/V around -1 to -2, otherwise the meter is going to blow things out.

If used as an accent/fill light, then you’d shoot closer to how you normally would.

Since the DIODER's power output is very low, what settings should you use on your camera to get a properly exposed shot? Did you use a tripod for that shot? Tnx! ^^ .-= Jay´s last blog: Jia Gold Bustamante wins Asia Cosplay Meet Championship in Singapore =-.

[...] Just got my lighting ding dings, similar to the one used by comrade Yuki-to and introduced by HappySoda. [...]

this is a great tutorial, I have been actually looking for different lighting methods and with this, it is going to help a lot.

Yeah, the ones they sell as the lights for the DETOLF’s are halogens and they got hot, so I never set them up for my cases.

There’s no temp specs on the lights, but I have my camera set to 4800K for my normal daylight bulbs and I didn’t change them for the shots with just the DIODER.

Thanks for another great tutorial. I was going to get a load of these dioders to light my my shelves. I’ve wanted to make a spot light or something, I guess I’ll try the flash light method first.

Awesome. LED’s are nice & it’s a shame I lost my LED hand torch. I use to wrap backing paper around it (cudo’s man), when I go out at night & take shots. But I have been using the FlashLight App on my Touch for lighting lately, it’s nice to add a tinge of blue or pink on some shots. – But the Aussie Southern Ocean wind is horrid for outside shots……

Im amazed how you can take things and use them for something completly different.I might check out IKEA for those!
If it wont work out I still can use them in my Detolf ^^

I wish I’d picked up the Dioders instead of the Grundtals for my Billy cabinet. The Grundtals have a warm light which I love, but they’re halogen and get enormously hot. The Dioders would be nice and cool.

I have a spare Grundtal I should use as a spotlight (and light the house on fire when the cardboard ignites…).
