Not sure why but I had the random urge to make this vid after getting a couple questions about lighting over on Instagram. Let me know if you guys are keen on this style of vid, happy to do more!

Hey Avi, are you able to link to the light bars you are using to backlight your screens?
hey mate, which camera are you using? looks awesome! 🙂
This video is really helpful!! I really enjoyed hearing about the IKEA smart bulbs. They sound like a gamechanger for cozy lighting. Thank you!
A harsh source isn't necessarily small and a diffused not necessarily large. it's more about how the light get's shaped or if there's some kind of diffusing material infront of your lamp
As a lover of good Keyboard content, this is exactly what I've been looking for! Lol.
Well done, and thank you!
Lights are far too often "Too Much".
I'm always irritated at lights helping less with seeing what I intend to look at and more make me look at the light.
Overhead lights try to illuminate it all but that means they aren't defused and feel like a flash bang if you ever look anywhere near their direction.
Overhead office lights are scattered to perfectly always have at least one blasting your retnas all day as you stare into the equally blue pc screens 😅.
So I've been wanting to learn this skill to create that inviting glowing room that you basically forget lights are on at all. Subtle and sensible is what I think you've achieved and I love that. 👍
This kind of lighting does look the best in bedrooms and other types of leisure rooms like that. Unfortunately my appartment is just one room (plus the bathroom) so I feel like it would definitely feel off since it would also include the kitchen :/
Your house/room is definitely my type, at so many aspects. Dude, that's incredible job!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks man.
Thanks, my bedroom lighting is horrible

I will advise you to not put your perfume under the lamp. You'll destroy it very quickly.
helpful 🙂
Hey Avi, was just wondering. Do you stick the Mittled light on the back of your PC or under your desk? Could you make a video explaining how you connected all the lights to the IKEA wireless features. Thank you!
i hate cool white lamps especially for houses

you made exactly the video i was looking for. I had seen these videos, im working on my space, and hopping for something longer-form. thanks!
As soon as I turned 19 my brain did a full 180 from "Gaming lights" to warm cozy lighting like this. Very helpful video.
Hi! what light bars do you use behind your monitors for backlighting?
this is very helpful as the lighting in my bedroom sucks rn lol and i’m trying to create more ambiance ☆ bingus
Kelvin is used a lot in chemistry—very easily to follow. 273 Kelvin = 0 def F
Really loved the video man, this is the exact vibe i'm going for in my room.
Btw, what is your table lamp called (the one on the right)? Like it very much
a bulb should not require wifi to operate
i have a task light which is just ambient enough to get both bits done
Hey Avi, thanks for such a great video, love your sense of style! What type of lights did you use for your shelves above your monitors? I have a similar layout myself. Thanks!
the problem with warm lighting is that it's too cozy and relaxing for work.
Veeeery nice video!! Great ideas and design!!
Would love to see a lot more of this kind of videos!
Cool name 😉
Awesome analogy of helping your eyes and the example of taking pictures out of a window.
Hi Avi! Where is that paper lantern from? Thanks again for this awesome video ✨
what sized desk mat do you have?
What color and temp you got those lights set to?
Great video!
What the fuck is the insane quality of this video tho
I was searching for a different video about lighting and light sources. But stumble upon your video and actually watched the whole thing, enjoyable and good video.
Bingus
thank you!
What light strip do you use to light behind your office desks? Like the lights that light up the wall?
I'm looking into wanting to make my space much more cozy and creative i'm in a basement for it so more orange lighting or anything to mimic natural light would 100% be important at least to me
The most helpful advice in this video for me as a beginner is the "harsh vs diffuse" and " work spots" because my room ended up being to dark but now it makes more sense on what lighting i need to purchase

Hi.. I wonder what watts bulbs do you use for the lamps and what led strip do you use for behind the desk.
My neighbours just gutted out their house and installed industrial grade daylight lights in each room. No lamps at all. I DONT GET IT!!!
My house has all warm lit windows, then u see next door, and it's like there's LED car headlights behind each window 😂 talk about lifestyle choices
