I use both the c920 and c930 cams but I feel I'm not getting the best quality stream I can. I have one light in each back corner of my room that are low lumens, then behind the cam in front left corner of room is a light stand with two lights in it, in the right corner of the room is an umbrella light, and on the floor by me is a floor lamp.

I'll post the exact lumens and temperature range for the bulbs (I tend to prefer neutral or slightly cool). But what I'm wondering, what lumens are you all using for lightbulbs and how many of them? Thanks for any tips.

lighting is always tricky .. but there are some basics for a good basic setup :

Temperatures should be always the same - you don´t want mixing different ones .. and if you have/use natural light (windows) you should go for Daylight bulbs.

Lumens is the intesity in ONE meter .. so if you sitting 2 m away .. its half the lumenvalue. Lumens at your skin should be around 1000 (means 2000 lumens bulb if you sitting 2 m away)

for energy costs .. go for LED - i prefer something like that for my mainlight:
