This project is a high quality LED studio desk recording light system including camera mount, all mounted on a flexible pneumatic monitor stand with fully adjustable tilt and position. I made custom electronics and installed everything together with custom 3D printed parts.

I used high quality CREE LEDs CMA1303-0000-000C0Z0AL5A which boasts with 98 CRI ratio (the color spectrum is 98% similar of that from the sun) which guarantees that you will always have the correct colors on videos or photos. It is basically an artificial sun!
For the light diffuser I used a diffuser sheet from an broken LCD TV. It is not truly a soft box, but it is more compact and good enough.

I have been using JLCPCB for over two years now and the boards were always top notch. So I am not just promoting their service because they sponsored me, I promote them because they have really good service which I was using before for over two years without any sponsorship.

Circuit limitations:
The input voltage needs to be lower than the output voltage, and the output voltage needs to be max 3 to 4 times the input voltage. (you can't get 90V output with only 12V input. This is why I used 48V power supply which is easy to get.) More explanation in the Instructable
