Best cheap lighting accessories
April 13, 2021
In this round-up we’ve grouped together a selection of our favourite lighting accessories, from the cheap and cheerful to the more expensive and advanced. As we’ll show, you don’t need to get a second mortgage to get some cool lighting effects…
Westcott Ice Light 2
If you’re after a portable, continuous light source that’s great for light painting or adding extra illumination to subjects, the Ice Light 2 comes highly recommended. It has simple controls, provides daylight-balanced light that’s wonderfully diffused and has sufficient power with 18-step dimming control.
Barn doors (£60) can be purchased to control the spill of light and the rechargeable battery can be replaced with a spare (£70) if you’d like to use it for longer than an hour. Users have the option to control the Ice Light 2 wirelessly from an iPhone or iPad using Bluetooth technology via the Ice Light app.

While our lives are currently more limited due to the pandemic, nature still surrounds us like a reassuring blanket. The International Garden Photographer of the Year is a true celebration of the outdoors and reminds us that nature, big and small, is always there to comfort us and offer joy - a welcome and beautiful distraction in a time of crisis.
The competition and exhibition specialises in garden, plant and flower photography so it may not come as a surprise that it is supported by the world-famous Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, London.
