Flashes (Strobes) vs Continuous Lights for Photography

Chelsea compares Strobes (also known as flashes or flashlights) to continuous lights. They each have their advantages and disadvantages, but we'll help you figure out which is right for you.

The strobe we used is the Godox AD600 (http://sdp.io/ad600). The continuous light we used is the Aputure 300D (http://sdp.io/300d). Both have a Bowens mount so they can take the same light modifiers.

Here's a quick summary:

Strobes are far more powerful than continuous lights. They're also smaller and lighter. The battery can last all day, and they stay cool.

However, continuous lights work with any camera without a remote, even smartphones. They work for both stills and video. Continuous lights are always visible, making them easier to arrange before shooting (because you can see the light).
