In this breakdown, we’ll hook you up with five ways to consider using these magnetic mounting brackets to enhance your photoshoots, film sets, and workspaces.
1. Dynamic Overhead Lighting in Tight Spaces
Overhead lighting can dramatically enhance the mood and focus of a scene, but it’s not always easy to achieve, especially in crammed or unconventional spaces. The Magnetic Light Mounting Brackets can be your secret weapon here. Attach your Lume Cube Tube Light XL to metal beams, pipes, or any overhead metal surface to create a powerful, hands-free overhead light. This setup is go-to setup for product photography, interviews, or any situation where you need a clean, focused light source from above.
Pro Tip: Combine multiple tube lights with different brightness settings to add depth and dimension to your shots.
2. Enhance Automotive Photography and Detailing
For automotive photographers and detailers, lighting is key to showcasing the contours, body lines and textures of a vehicle. The Magnetic Light Mounting Brackets make it easy to place your lights directly on the vehicle itself. Whether you’re highlighting the engine bay, undercarriage, or the sleek curves of the body, you can position the lights exactly where you need them without worrying about tripods or other supports. Making your car photos dialed in and looking 💯.
Pro Tip: Use the mount to attach a Lume Cube 2.0 inside the wheel well for dramatic underglow effects or to light up intricate details in tight spaces.
3. Back lighting for Creative Workspaces and YouTube Channels
For content creators and professionals who spend hours at their desks, good lighting is essential for both productivity and video quality. The Magnetic Light Mounting Brackets allow you to easily attach your Tube Lights to any metal surface around your workspace, such as the legs of a metal desk, a lamp, or even a computer monitor stand. This setup is ideal for illuminating your workspace without cluttering it with additional stands or tripods. Whether you’re live streaming, filming YouTube videos, or working on intricate creative projects, this flexible lighting solution ensures that your desk is always well-lit and keeps you in a flow state of mind.
Pro Tip: Position your lights at an angle to reduce glare on your screen and avoid harsh shadows on your face, creating a more flattering and professional look for your videos. You can also adjust the brightness to create the perfect balance between ambient and task lighting, ensuring you have the right light for both work and filming.
4. Quick and Easy Studio Lighting Anywhere
If you’re a content creator who’s always on the go, setting up a portable studio in unconventional locations while staying out of frame can be challenging.
