This
is a new professional quality high output 1800 watt continuous
fluorescent lighting kit complete with two softboxes. Lighting like
this has until now only been available for use in big budget film or
advertising work. The light is soft and diffused- it covers
everything in a soft glow, eliminating hard shadows. These 6 bulb
units produce an effective output of 900 watts each. Use one
as your key or main light and the other as a fill light to balance
your images.
Unlike traditional tungsten/halogen lighting, this lighting kit can
be left on all day without heating up your studio. Bulb life is
rated at 10,000 hours, and since these bulbs are daylight balanced
(5100K), flicker-free, made for digital imaging use, you do not need
special filters to get natural color from your subjects, whether it
be people or products. To dim the light output, switches on the
backs of the units allow you to turn off multiple bulbs at once,
adjusting the light by thirds. This kit is compatible with all
digital and D/V cameras. Perfect for portrait or product
photography. Works great for chromakey.
*About Fluorescent Lighting
Fluorescent lamps are more efficient than incandescent light bulbs
because a greater proportion of the power used is converted into
useable light rather than heat, allowing the fluorescent lamp to run
cooler. Thus a fluorescent lamp requiring 45 watts of power, for
instance, produces as much light as a 150 watt incandescent light
bulb, but with up to 90% less heat. |
