Your ring light is to eliminate shadows which also can make a boring picture. For TV talking heads usually there is a light on either side, one slightly brighter than the other. You can control the color tint with plastic "gels". Experiment with a few light positions and brightness until you find the one you like. If a light is too bright then just move it back a foot or two. The sunlight is notoriously hard to control, so it usually works best to block it out with a curtain or shade just allowing it to light up the room behind you. Newer LED lights will eliminate the heat problem.

That's a good point! I think my main issue is the light from my big window is washing me out, so additional lights won't necessarily solve that - but changing settings on the camera should help!

Thank you so much!!

That sounds cool! Mine is a weird one from China... only option is how bright do you want it - low, medium or blinding lol

Hi, Alanna, another really interesting video. Really hard to pick a favourite, I think when you cooked British pancakes, that was hilarious. How about cooking doughnuts? That would be good. I hope your Visa application goes smoothly, please let us know how that goes. It wouldn't be an Alanna video if there weren't extraneous noises, glad they're back. Glad the channels are going well on YT and Patreon and double glad you're carrying on with them. Looking forward to your next video soon.

You could always choose a warmer colour light, warm white for example. Look for the kelvin rating, the lower it is, the redder the light will be, the higher it is, the whiter it is. It may help with your skin tone. Some newer ring lights come with the ability to adjust it.

One good thing about moving away from gas central heating will be that the alternatives (e.g. heat pumps) can do cooling as well as heating. I think heat pumps work most efficiently as underfloor heating or warm air heating so they could potentially eliminate radiators. When cooling, it wouldn't be as effective as a/c but it would be better than using fans to shove hot air around
