This is how I had it set up. The black lights are just on nails in the wall and come off very easily. The camera was on the tripod in the corner. And my iPhone was sitting behind me with the flash light turned on pointed at the camera. Please feel free to ask any other question!

I payed about $15 each. I also had ordered a 48 inch on that broke in shipping… twice. So yeah, never again on one that big.
