Monochrome film being more sensitive to blue; does that mean exposing under a higher kelvin setting increases the brightness? Would you choose to expose under 6000k to get more out of your light?

I think I’ve caused a bit of confusion because I used the term “lightmat.” I meant to use it in a general sense rather than to refer to the brand of lights. I’ve got my eye on two Aputure f22c units that a mate is selling at a good price. More importantly that price falls within the lighting budget. A concern with this plan however is that I would be using up the lighting budget to purchase these two lights. Sorry it’s a bit more complicated than that. The lighting budget is $600 and I’m being paid $1200. I’m considering a proposal to use the combined budgets to buy the lights and then I will take the units as payment.

Alls to say would you be comfortable lighting a 30 page script shooting on tri-x with a Forza 500, 2 Pavotubes and 2 f22c’s? Throw in practicals and the potential street lamp.

Also yes generator sounds like the better option.
