Are these good lights for Youtube?

[YT2002]

Hello! And merry Christmas. I figured for Youtube I would want to get some proper lights. My preffered budget is $50 but I can go to $100. I was wondering, is this a good kit: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Photography-Photo-Studio-Umbrellas/dp/B008S1TQBC/ref=sr_1_94?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1451044553&sr=1-94&refinements=p_36%3A1253505011. I'm not sure if for Youtube, if I should go with and umbrella kit as most people go with softboxes. Thanks in return!!

It would be more expensive than this. Should I get a softbox kit instead?

Those are just the stands and umbrellas, no lights. Also, get soft boxes instead of umbrellas for video.

 

Get a pair of good LED light panels and you won't even need softboxes most of the time.

I don't know, they do look like the bulbs and circuitry are designed for continuous lighting instead of strobe lighting.  The problem with Amazon is that some sellers do not provide a detailed description about their products.

 

If you're doing what I think you're doing I recommend you get some LED panels instead, with a dimmer switch and the either dual color LEDS to enable the adjustment of the White Balance or single color LEDs with color filters.  You can even mount one on the camera.

 

Something like this, for example:

I also read somewhere that for video, continuous lighting is better. I'm not sure though, Im not sure about the difference/

That LED panel is the Aputure 160.  Continuous lighting means light that is on as long as you keep it turned on.  Which is the opposite of strobe lighting which is like a photo camera flash that turns on for a brief moment the moment you press the camera shutter button.
