stick lights or tube lights are now among the most popular lighting options for photographers and videographers. The handy and powerful devices allow a special flexible lighting and do without heavy structures or light shapers. Our permanent lights are therefore ideal for spontaneous use, outdoor work or special and refreshing looks that are difficult to achieve with other artificial lights.

Both that EFT-8C RGB tube light, as well as theEFT-360 RGB Bar Light from Jinbei combine all the properties and functions that a good continuous light for the professional use needed.

The EFT-8C RGB tube light can be thanks to removable batteries , which allows continuous operation of 90 minutes at full power, ideal for use on location, when traveling and of course in the studio.

The creative uses of flashlights

The tube light is practically a surface light with a particularly handy and easy-to-transport design. Just the Flexibility of an LED bar light allows the user to imitate the atmospheric lighting effects of other light shapers. The size of the light source and thus the question of whether the light falls hard or soft always depends on the distance to the objects or people to be photographed. The closer the lamp is placed, the larger the light source is in relation to the object and the softer the light falls. This is great for portrait photography . The farther away the light, the harder it appears, as the shadows become sharper and the contrasts intensify. Luminaires in the form of a rod offer the greatest possible flexibility. In most cases they are hand-held or attached to a metallic surface with the  built-in magnets appropriate.

Due to your performance, it is easily possible to make the look more different keylights , as they are known from studio photography, imitate . But also for photography with the already existing light, also known as Available light photography , the flashlights are ideal. With their amazing amount of adjustment options, they are perfect to be matched to the available light. Together with this they ensure a enchanting mood lighting .

Creative light effects in the picture

Due to the futuristic look of the lights, unlike most other artificial lights, they also look good when they themselves part of the composition are. Especially the use of several lights in combination can contribute to an exciting part of the composition of the picture.

Light painting on a new level

The  Light Painting or Light Paintings represent their own photographic discipline. The flashlights are suitable for replacing a large number of lights that have been used up to now and allow a precise work , which shows no limits to creativity. The flicker-free light of the built-in LEDs guarantees a razor-sharp image with clear contours. Another plus is the RGB effects , through which light painters take their work to a new level.

Uniquely creative effects with the RGB mode

Colored LEDs allow the user to create almost any color with the lights. This makes it easier than ever to adapt the lighting mood to the premises or clothing. Videographers appreciate that by using specific colors targeted moods be created. The color red can be threatening, while yellow or orange tones are reminiscent of a cozy summer evening.

How effective that RGB mode is, which is particularly evident in connection with the pre-programmed light effects . A single LED strip light is able to imitate the light of an emergency vehicle or the lighting of a discotheque. Especially in the cinematic area, the numerous functions of the lamp allow considerable Save costs and effort .

Targeted control via app

The LED bar lights, like those of Jinbei, are controllable via app and thus allow photographers and videographers to work even more independently and faster. Using Bluetooth, users fit within seconds the intensity, the color temperature, the color or the desired effect. Even without assistance, working on location is easy.

With their versatility, tubular lights embody in their purest form what modern artificial light is capable of today. The battery operation , the high performance , the low weight and the numerous functions support in the implementation of creative ideas and allow one picture look , which makes it easy to stand out from other photographers or filmmakers.
