CHOOSING A LIGHTING KIT?
Which lighting kit is right for me: Fluorescent, Tungsten, Flash, or LED? This is without surprise the most asked question we encounter on a daily basis.
First identify which type of image acquisition you will be doing. Filmmaking, Videography, Interviews, Chroma Key, Indoor Product Shots, Portraits, Still Photography, and Stage Lighting all have very different requirements for optimal results.
There are two types of production lighting. Continuous and Flash/Strobe which as theirs names describe create either a constant always-on light source or a quick burst of bright light.
There are basically two Kelvin Temperatures (whiteness of light) used in Production Lighting. Tungsten/Halogen at 3200 degrees Kelvin referred to as "Indoor", and Daylight or "Outdoor" at 5600 degrees Kelvin which are available in several different bulb methods.
The Halogen bulbs you get at a hardware store are NOT production accurate temperatures, usually around 2700 K for Halogen, and most of the new Edison based fluorescent bulbs are under 4800 K, so don't count on using a big-box hardware store as a supplier for bulbs at this time. Always buy bulbs from a production lighting supplier.
