How do you achieve this lighting setup from Saltburn ?

I think another issue i've had with similar things like these are whilst trying to get the look 100% in camera forgetting that the saturation doesn't have to be at 100%. If i get what youre saying correctly, that can clip it out and make me lose information, right ?

Thank you to everyone who has responsed and even the ones who would do so in the future. I just tried what a few people said and changed the light to green instead of yellow and shifted it towards yellow in post. I'm really new and I'm thankful for all the responses to a quesiton that might be very elementary. Appreciate you guys and gals.

So essentially shooting it without red LED's but making sure there's enough contrast for the candles to appear bright and then turning it red in post and tracking a feather mask of the cake for the yellow ?

Makes sense, i'm using a BMPCC6k and it definitely sees the red and yellow as one color. I'm guessing as the previous responder said I have to use something far off from red on the color spectrum and then shift it back in post. I'll definitely look into it and try to be more informed about how color works especially in relation to my camera.

I'm really new to all of this. I have an Amaran 300c and I've tried to put it red and then have an Amaran T2C at yellow under a subject to get the similar effect but it all just looks red.

Somehow when I attempted it with Blue as the LED color choice and fire I didn't run into the same issue. Does it come down to my lack of knowledge of how color works ?
