More Information:
The Key Light is great in size as it does not take up very much room. Currently, we are using a big umbrella light that a photographer might use and it seems to overpower the desk at times.
Another great thing about this light is the minimum amount of heat that you feel comes off the lights. Many times when we have been streaming, it gets uncomfortably hot with the current set up.
The lights clamp on to the edge of a desk keeping it from taking up floor space. The mounting pole is adjustable so you can place it at the height that works best for the streamer.
The lights are bright and are dimmable. One of the great features about this light setup is the many ways you can control the lighting setup (i.e. power on/off, temperature and brightness, etc.).
There are apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. If you have Elgato’s stream deck, you can integrate it that way, as well.
Verdict:
The Elgato Key Light is a great tool for lighting if you are a streamer. It is smaller in size than the typical lighting and the brightness, temperature, and power can be controlled by various methods such as apps and the Elgato Stream Deck. The price for this light is a little high at $199.99 for one light. If you have the extra money, and you already have the Elgato Stream Deck, this would be a great addition to your setup.
