Which tube?

But which tubes are right for you?

This page gives you basic guidelines about which tubes are going to get you started in your light-painting journey.

Starter kits

Short answer: SolidWhite, Holographic Sugar and Solid Warmish (in that order). These are the tubes that will get you covered outdoors from the blue hour to the late night stars. They are bright and work well in most circumstances. Tons of my images are made with these two tubes. This is exactly what the StarterKit is about. You'll see in this kit that we also include a few colorful small tubes to put on top of the long white one. This is how we create images like this one: https://500px.com/photo/1012620064.
