Hi everyone. I have little problem with lighting for my videos. My room is a very dark place with only one central light bulb. It’s not great for filming under because it’s all orange and nasty.

I was wondering what are some cheap ways of lighting my room up some more.  
BTW it’s too cold outside to film.

Go to ikea, you can get a stand up lamp for about $10. Buy 4.

change the yellow/orange bulb to a true white.

Add a small black light in front of you and use UV reactive string.

My living area is like this so I know the feel.  
I ended up buying a small little clip on LED desk lamp from Walgreen’s for about 14 dollars. Was absolutely perfect for pointing toward myself and being just right for filming my tricks.  
Might be worth checking locally to see if they have something like that. Very cheap and functional!
