Aputure B7c Accent Practical LED Light Bulb

In today’s episode, we have a look at an innovative new smart bulb purpose built for filmmaking: The Aputure B7c Accent. This RGBWW LED bulb screws into standard E26/E27 household light fixtures so it is perfectly suited to use as a practical light - a regular light fixture within your scene. Why not just use a regular smart bulb? We cover how the B7c has some distinct advantages over other LED smart bulbs, especially suited to filmmakers.
