An affectionate term for the plastic boxed transformer that plugs directly into the wall outlet.

Traveling a lot? All of our Power Assemblies come with Country Adapters so you can use your TML products wherever you go. TML provides adapters for Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. While the Country Adapters are interchangeable, the power assemblies aren’t! So, be sure to check which assembly you have for which product before you go.

The Color Rendering Index is a way of measuring lights in comparison to the sun, with the lowest being 0 and the most like the sun being 100. TML lights are 95+ CRI, so the light you get is as close to natural sunlight as you can get in any LED light on the market.

Though we are known for our pre-made panels, we also specialize in custom lighting systems for makeup trailers, homes, makeup rooms, and more! Contact our team at Custom@themakeuplight.com to get a quote for your custom build.

The best lighting found on planet Earth comes from the sun. To be Daylight Balanced means the color temperature is balanced to mimic natural daylight. This is great for color matching and ensures what you see is what you get when you step outside.

One of our favorite TML hacks is the Flush-Mount. This transforms your Magic Mount into a flatter mount that has an extremely low profile. It’s almost like placing your TML LED panel “into” your chosen mounting surface.

All you need is a Magic Mount, Quick Release, and a little Super Glue!

A floor stand is a little different from our Light Stand. A Floor Stand has a heavy base to balance and support placement of your TML LED panel above your subject. It isn’t designed for packing up with you. It’s designed to stay in one place, and is paired beautifully with our Eyelight for microblading, lash work, and more!

Kelvin is a unit of measuring temperature named after engineer and physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. Why does that matter in light? Kelvin is used to determine is the light is warm or cool. The lower the number the warmer and the higher the cooler. TML used 5000K to 5200K because in artificial light it is pure white.

This is the tablet-sized panel that started it all. The Key Light 1.0 made way for the Key Light 2.0, but both are powerhouse LED panels in use around the world today. Its durability and portability make it ideal for travel!

An LED panel is a light panel constructed with LEDs. TML uses LED’s and a Light Guide to create a single large light source. The Light Guide refracts the light therefore projecting the light. This allows the light to illuminate objects at a measured distance without harming your eyes.

This is the life-saver and time-saver. The Quick Release links up to both your light and your mount so you don't have to unscrew every time. Simply flick the red latch to lock, then flick it to unlock. Currently all panels come with a Quick Release attached to the panel, but if you ever remove yours, here is how to get it back on:

• Attach Latch Piece to Panel using the Allen wrench and conical screw included
• Attach Companion Piece to mount by screwing it on
• Place Latch Piece and Companion Piece together
• Flip red latch
• To take down, simply flip red latch, lift, and go!

The latch piece or female half of the two-sided Quick Release has the handy red latch that you need to lock your Quick Release into place.

The companion piece or male half of the two-sided Quick Release has no red latch and needs to go on the back of your light.

Our Magic Mount, Magnet Mount and Sticky Suction Mount have a sticky side to help mount your light. Whenever you remove it from your mounting surface, simply use the Reuse Sheet by placing the sticky side onto it before you store. That helps keep your mount stickier longer!

Yes, one light will work just fine! Give yourself about five feet of space between yourself and the light, and make sure the light is just above your subject and pointed slightly downward. This way, you have bright illumination with a single light.

Two is always better than one. Honestly, we love to have as many as 4 or 6 lights in a single set up! But, if you are going for the Master Kit (or adding more lights to your kit), it’s great to have that even light across your subject’s face. Place the lights over either shoulder, a little above your subject and pointed downward. You’ll have great, even light, and no shadows!

Ultraviolet light is a long-wave light that makes neon colors pop.

A vanity is a lighted mirror that is perfect for doing your makeup. In our case, the TML Meira can also light your Zoom calls and YouTube tutorials!
