I didn't know I needed dedicated photography lights until this $48 set turned up, but now I'm a convert

Andy Edser is a man with a mission. It's a mission he didn't sign up for, or even want, but I'm his boss so he has to do what I say. And I'm making him test a ton of different cheap tech I might find on Amazon, AliExpress, TikTok Shop, or down the back of my sofa. Out of nowhere it will appear on his doorstep with no warning and he has no choice but to use whatever it is like his life depends on it. Because it does.

I'll start off with a caveat: I'm not a photography guy. That being said, I do take a surprising number of photos in my role as a hardware writer, and you'll see many of them spread across the pages of this very site in some form or fashion. I've got myself into a bit of a rut with it, actually, routinely targeting the few areas of my house where the lighting and background are good enough to grab a few PC Gamer-worthy shots of whatever I happen to be reviewing this week.
