???? What Are the Best Lights for Filming Video in 2025?

❗ What Are the Disadvantages of COB Lighting?

While COB lights are ideal for video due to their intensity and focus, they can have some downsides:

  • Heat Generation: Higher power means more heat. Censreal counters this with smart fan systems and heat sinks.

  • Noise from Cooling Fans: On some models, fans may be audible. Models like CR-T150 and COB-100 use low-noise or fanless cooling.

  • Initial Cost: High-CRI COB lights are more expensive upfront—but last longer and reduce post-editing time.


???? What Lighting Do Most YouTubers Use?

Content creators love COB lights because they offer power, portability, and color flexibility. Most YouTubers use:

  • 100W to 150W COB lights, like COB-100 or CR-T150

  • Lights with softboxes and modifiers for beauty or product shots

  • Models with app or remote control

Censreal offers multiple mounts and accessories, making setup fast and flexible.


???? What Is the Newest, Most Efficient Lighting Technology?

The most efficient lighting in 2025 is still LED-based COB (Chip on Board). Compared to traditional LEDs:

  • COB offers higher lumen density

  • Better heat dissipation

  • More even light with fewer shadows

Censreal’s R&D team is constantly innovating, with factory-backed OEM/ODM options for custom lighting tech.


???? How to Choose the Right COB Light for Your Setup

Here are quick tips for choosing the right COB model:

???? Why Bowens Mount Compatibility Matters in COB Lights

The Bowens mount is the industry standard for video lighting modifiers. Censreal COB models (COB-100/200/300) come with full Bowens compatibility so you can use:

  • Softboxes

  • Reflectors

  • Fresnels

  • Lanterns

This allows greater control over softness, shadows, and light direction—essential for cinematic quality.
