Continuous lights are a type of lighting used in photography and videography that provide a constant source of illumination. Unlike flash lighting, which emits brief bursts of light, continuous lights allow photographers to see how the light affects the scene in real-time. This makes it easier to adjust settings and compositions. These lights come in various forms, including LED, fluorescent, and incandescent bulbs. They are popular for both studio and on-location shoots, as they help create a consistent lighting environment. Continuous lights are especially useful for beginners, as they simplify the process of understanding light and shadow.
