When it comes to using tube lights in your video work, it can be easy to think that something longer is just for show - what are you gonna do with such a long tube anyway, apart from using it as decoration? But actually, if we think about the ways we can use a long strip of light to our advantage, we're able to employ it in a few different situations. We take a look at some of the ways we can do this with the Godox TL180.
