I don't think I would need adjustable color temperature and I do have a window, Wich I close the blinds when filming cuz the lighting from there is very unpredictable. Budget wise I thought of like 400-500€ max. (I'm German so euro)

A couple dual light kits like this one would be a good starting point:

They're dimmable, color adjustable, and come with stands. Soft boxes to diffuse the light in front of you can help if the lights are close. The cheap way to get that effect is to attach parchment paper to the metal barn doors with clips.

 

You'll want some light coming from behind and beside you, that will help reduce the green halo effect that makes things look chroma keyed.

Do you need adjustable color temperature? Does your room have any windows? What kind of budget are you working with?

 

You can get good results from just regular LED bulbs, as long as you pick ones that have a high color rendering index (CRI). Cheap LED lights don't put out enough warm red wavelengths, which tends to make people look like zombies.
