[title] Lighting setup
-[* icon_caution] ***One way you can get the cost of items like light stands down is by upcycling items like tripods from big box stores which are missing expensive parts.*** ***Other options include items like [guide|115533|gutting a BER lamp|new_window=true].***

[* black] ***Side lighting***
- [* red] ***Tripod or light stands***: If you can find a pair of quality tripods, these can often be used as a makeshift light stand. ***High end tripods are not required, but nice to have.***
- [* orange] ***Standing lamp:*** Space may be an issue due to base size but if you can make this work, a broken lamp can be used ***with the socket and cord removed***.

[* black] ***Edge cases***
- [* yellow] ***Over the top:*** This method requires specific setup conditions which may not be feasible without a dedicated workspace. When it works, this will often result in light output that can turn 2 bulbs into 1 with a high lumen bulb (1,500-2,000+ lumens).
- [* green] ***Side clamping: This works in a pinch, but is not recommended unless no other options have worked.*** Light placement options are often too limited, which tends to show in the final photo. Pick a better method first!
+ [* yellow] ***Over the top:*** This method requires specific setup conditions are not always feasible without a dedicated workspace. However, this method can allow the use of one bright LED and not need 2 when it works (must use 1,500-2,000+ lumens).
