How to get more light out of recessed lighting?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
shannonkayfranks asked:


I have 6 recessed lights in my basement with white solid (not baffle) trims that are sized for R30 with no space on the sides. I would like for these lights to give off more lighting. I have video taped my daughter walking her first steps and other firsts, (we hang out here most of the time) and it’s a bit dark. So, I’m thinking I need more light to get better video/photos. Will replacing the baffles (or whatever you call them) give me more light? If so, will reflective be better than step baffle, etc?

Hi all: I am pretty new to studio lighting. I have been using my 3 Canon speedlites and homemade snoot/barndoor for my studio photo. I am planning to start a businesss in this field. Would you guys recommend on how to select lighting equipment? I have seen flash heads with price range from 150 to 1200 and I am getting a bit lost.
