Redhead Lighting
Posted October 11th, 2009 by Smick
In Photography Lighting the redhead is and has been an industry standard for continuous lighting and is classed as a hot light as it uses an 800w halogen bulbs.
With a colour temperature of 3200k which is too the warm end of the spectrum, there are several ways to correct this. Most Digital video or digital still camera has a white balance setting which allows you to change the colour temperature in camera. The alternative to this is to put gel filters over the the light to change the colour temperature and there are several specialist companies that sell these.
On the rear of the units there is a control that moves the internal reflector in and out this gives the light a narrower or wider beam and with the barn doors gives you another way of controlling the light. With our redhead ligthing kits we are giving away 2 sand/gravel bags with each head until the end of October.
