▶ View full project details, specifications & FAQ
This case covers two automotive lighting product lines from the same client: high-power LED headlight bulbs (H4/H7/H11 base types with blue and orange silicone seals) and a 200W solar flood light system. The shoot was completed at AIMI Visual Media's Guangzhou studio over 2 working days. All images are optimized for Amazon automotive listings, eBay Motors, and Shopify auto parts stores. The client sells to overseas distributors and end consumers through multiple e-commerce channels.

Photography Challenges
- Mixed reflective surfaces: Aluminum heatsinks, chrome-plated bases, and silicone seals each require different light control to avoid blown highlights or flat, lifeless textures.
- Small connector details: H4/H7 plug types are 15-20mm wide but critical for purchase decisions — they need macro-level sharpness without losing the full product context.
- LED chip visibility: CSP LED chips are only 2-3mm wide. Capturing their arrangement and color temperature requires precise focus and controlled illumination.
- Multi-product composition: Pair shots must show two bulbs at identical angles with consistent lighting, which demands precise positioning and symmetrical light setup.
Our Approach
White Background Product Shots
All 8 images use a pure white background (RGB 255,255,255) to meet Amazon automotive requirements. We used a large softbox array (4 heads with diffusion panels) to create even gradient reflections on aluminum heatsinks without harsh hotspots. The bulbs were mounted on clear acrylic stands to eliminate visible support structures. For the solar flood light, we positioned the lamp unit, photovoltaic panel, and remote control in a triangular composition that shows all components in one frame.
Connector Detail Callouts
Four images include circular callout insets showing the connector type (H4 three-pin plug) and base seal detail. We shot these macro details separately at 1:1 magnification, then composited them in post-production. This technique lets buyers verify connector compatibility without leaving the main product view — a key conversion factor for automotive parts.
Post-Production and Retouching
Each image received focus stacking (8-12 frames per shot) to ensure sharpness from the LED chip to the connector base. We removed dust particles and fingerprints from aluminum surfaces, corrected white balance to neutral (5500K), and exported at 2000px on the longest side for Amazon zoom functionality. The final deliverables include both sRGB JPEG for web use and TIFF masters for print catalogs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does LED headlight bulb product photography cost in China?
Standard white background automotive product photography starts at $12 per image. Connector detail callout compositing adds $15 per image. A set of 8 white-background LED bulb images with callout details costs approximately $200 at AIMI Visual Media, Guangzhou. The price includes studio shooting, post-production retouching, and delivery of high-resolution files. Volume discounts apply for 20+ SKUs.
How long does a typical LED bulb shoot take?
A standard 8-image set for LED headlight bulbs takes 2 working days. Day 1 covers studio setup and shooting; Day 2 covers retouching, connector callout compositing, and file delivery. Rush service of 24 hours is available for urgent projects.
Are your images compliant with Amazon automotive listings?
Yes. All 8 images in this set meet Amazon's automotive image requirements: pure white background (RGB 255,255,255), minimum 1000px on the longest side, product filling 85% of the frame, and no watermarks or promotional text. We also provide 2000px versions for zoom functionality.
Can you shoot LED bulbs in both off and illuminated states?
Yes. We photograph LED bulbs in both states. For illuminated shots, we use a DC power supply to activate the LED chips at their rated voltage while keeping ambient light low to capture the true color temperature (typically 6000K-6500K for automotive LEDs).
How do you handle reflective aluminum surfaces on LED bulbs?
We use large softbox diffusion and polarizing filters to control specular highlights on aluminum heatsinks. The light tent technique creates even gradient reflections that show the surface texture without blown-out hotspots. This is critical for automotive parts where metallic finish quality is a selling point.
Can you create detail callout/inset images like the connector close-ups?
Yes. We shoot macro detail shots of connectors, LED chips, and base seals separately, then composite them as circular or rectangular callout insets in post-production. This technique is standard for automotive parts where connector type (H4, H7, H11) is a key purchase decision factor.
Do you shoot other automotive lighting products besides bulbs?
Yes. We photograph the full range of automotive lighting: LED headlight bulbs, fog lights, tail lights, interior strip lights, and work lights. This case also includes 2 images of a 200W solar flood light system with remote control and photovoltaic panel.
Can you photograph solar-powered lighting products?
Yes. This case includes a WISDOMWAY 200W solar flood light (IP67 rated) with remote control and separate photovoltaic panel. We shoot solar lights with both the panel and lamp unit visible, plus detail shots of the controller interface and cable connections.
