Continuous lighting

Constant light sources that stay on during shooting.

What is continuous lighting?

Continuous lighting provides constant illumination, unlike flash or strobe that fires momentarily. LED panels, tungsten bulbs, and fluorescent lights are common continuous sources. Continuous lighting lets you see exactly how light falls on products before shooting, making it beginner-friendly.
