We have an extra room that is used for guests and a desk for my wife. Long story short, I am wanting to do a makeover of this room that would also function as a bit of a photo studio. We are hobby photographers but wanting to invest more time (and money) into the hobby.

We both like the look of studio lights (octagonal hoods) aesthetically, kind of a edgy industrial look and are wondering how functional continuous led lighting would be for every day lighting use, that could also be put to use as we experiment with our hobby.

So, basically does this idea make sense? Or should I just get some cheap replicas for the everyday lights and invest in studio lights (and extra space) when I am ready?

If it is feasible, any recommendations? In a Perfect world would get 2 of them for under 500€. Would also be super cool to have them hooked up to light switch…

Ok, enough asks in one post…. Tia.
