continuous tungsten lighting

[Scaglietti]

Need to qualify what I said...

Tungsten light temperature is about 2700K to 3000K (reddish/orangey)
Halogen is about 3000K to 4000K (whiter)

Some lighting place a blue filter over the halogen lamp to make it even whiter (maybe about 5000K). I am not sure whether they have done this on the video light. (This is what they did with some halogen headlights for cars.)

BTW, I just read the specs for the lights... I don't think it'll do any good...

- Video Light Center Luminance Intensity : Approx. 100 cd
- Video Light Lighting Distance (3m) : Approx. 12 Lx

is that the reason why i often see cars with blue headlamp bulbs?the blue coating is to make it to look like HID lightings?:dunno:

so i assume video lights cannot be used to mix with tungsten lights?

I use BHphoto - its not available locally. Be sure to purchase the 220V lamp, not the 110V.

thanks.
