Hey, I'm in the process of upgrading my gaming corner at home and really need some input on lighting. It's gotta be good for streaming and not too harsh, but I also want it to look cool.

What kind of lights do you use for your gaming or streaming setup? Any specific brands or styles that you recommend?

Also, would like some tips on how to arrange them for the best effect. Thanks!

Consider getting LED strips or smart bulbs. Philips Hue is great for customization. For streaming, softbox lights are ideal to avoid harsh shadows. Place them at 45 degrees in front and above you. Try color-changing options for a cool vibe. What have you thought about so far?

@jwang_24 Actually, softbox lights are usually placed at about 45 degrees to the side, not just in front. This helps with shadow control better. Just wanted to point that out.
