Can anyone recommend a good lighting product for indoor shooting? I have come across a lot of different products online but would love to hear what you guys use to get an honest review of the products.

If you have used the lighting equipment in a certain video, let me know so I can check it out and see how it looks!

Many thanks.
 
In all videos that I do I use two softbox lights, either with the room being dark or lights on. They were cheap, 80 pounds from amazon including stands and bulbs and so on. I like them, they're good for what I do and I really like them. Set up is easy and painless, they store easily in a draw. If you wanna see them in action on MattyGreen channel, the light is just coming from them onto me in a dark room and on ThroughTheLense they're on with the lights in the room on. On the latter the room lights always give an orange tint which isn't great but color correction and all that stuff will help that. Anyways, I'm a complete novice at lighting but hope this helps in some way :)

Thanks Matty! Do you have a specific product name for these Soft Box lights?
 
You could even get away with a cheaper lighting kit, where instead of using softboxes (which are more expensive), you use umbrellas that diffuses the light. Then just set up your 3-point lighting and you'll be good to go!

I can't submit URL's :( but just search "Studio Lighting" on Amazon and it should be the first result. Good luck!
 
One of the main things to consider is lights is the tempature range. You want to come close to daylight, no soft lights.
Ideally you want to be close to 5400 kelvin. My current lights are 6500 kelvin but it is easy to adjust in post. The closer you are to natural light the better.
In my case I move a lot so cost of lights also comes into play.

After temp how many wats you have is important. My current soft boxes each have 5 lights all lights have a switch. So if it is to bight I can turn some off.
