Can Colour LEDs Take the Place of Your Studio Strobes? – Panikos Hajistilly

Constant light technology—especially LED lighting—has come a long way in recent years, with impressive advances in bi-colour and full-colour systems. But can these modern LEDs truly replace traditional studio strobes in everyday professional work?

In this illuminating Superclass, Panikos Hajistilly explores whether colour LED lighting can take centre stage in your studio setup. He’ll guide you through the different types of LED equipment—panels, tubes, ring lights, and point-source heads—and explain how they compare with studio flash in real-world use.

You’ll get practical advice on lighting modifiers, camera and lens considerations, and how to build an effective setup without breaking the bank. Expect clear explanations of terms like CoB and CRI, demystifying the jargon so you can make confident, informed decisions about your lighting gear.

Best of all, you’ll see stunning examples of what can be achieved using affordable LED setups, complete with vibrant colour effects—all without the need for gels.
