If you don’t want to spend $180 on the Elgato Key Light, the Godox ES45 Desktop LED Key Light is a more affordable option that offers nearly as much brightness and plenty of features, including adjustable brightness and color temperature. Right now, it’s cheaper than usual for the first time this year, selling for $119 ($20 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo.
The ES45 is a worthwhile purchase for streamers, or really anyone who wants to look their best on camera. You can position the light to shine directly on you, or aim it at your wall for some even bias lighting that creates a glow effect in your room that’s easier on the eyes. It can go between a warm 2,800K to a cooler, daylight-like color temperature.
One feature it has over Elgato’s popular Key Light is an included wireless 2.4GHz remote, which lets you easily adjust the lighting without having to fiddle with desktop or mobile apps. The remote automatically recharges when you reconnect it magnetically to the light. The ES45 also comes with a desk clamp that requires no tools to install, letting you attach it to a desk that’s up to two inches thick.
