Lights for Livestreams: GVM 800D RGB LED Lights

In today’s episode, we have a look at the GVM 800D-RGB LED lights for livestreaming. These little, affordable lights are both bi-color white lights, but also full RGB. So you can use them to light your beautiful face or to create super saturated, stylized colored backgrounds. In this episode, I used the two light kit with desk-mount stands which is very useful for those streaming in small rooms where you don’t have a lot of space for light stands. Just attach the stands to the edge of your desk and you’re set to stream.
