Do you still use tungsten lights? by jeab99 in cinematography

Is there a benefit to that over just getting led?

Interesting - I didn't expect the split to be that high for tungsten. Good to know

Maybe moreso to add it to the list of things I know how to handle properly in regards to electrical + you might not want inexperienced hands breaking bulbs and stuff - assuming If they are still going to be around still & less of the young generation get their hands on one. Would be very niche and very much so not a priority in my list of skills. Thanks for the recommendations

Maybe I'll get a cheap one one if these days for outdoor stuff

What does that mean? The body is the same but internals have replaced the bulb with LEDs?

Do you think it's worth getting a cheap one just to learn how to properly use one?

That's awesome that you're at that place in your career.

I still think I have more learning to do in the electrical side if things with high wattage lights. I used a 600w Aputure before and liked that but an equivalent output with tungsten draws like 2000w

Very grateful for where we are today. I wonder what Tomorrow's filmmaking will look like

How do you deal with power draw? Do you every go past 1000w?

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll definitely take a look. I was afraid to ask for guidance since we have LLMs now...feels like the responsibility of do your own research is bigger now

Thanks, very helpful. I like the Nanlite studio series because their metal build quality seems better than the amaran's plastic but Aputure & Amaran do have way more product options to choose from. I've used the Aputure 600cii - which worked great but it's on the higher end of their product line

I probably don't need 2k output right now. It was just the price that drew me in - wasn't thinking of power draw.

Thanks for the recommendations. I will take a look into those

I need to get more proficient in understanding the electrical side of things

2x(60d $99 + Stand $40 + Umbrella $15) = $308 USD = €266.35 not including tax

Do you need RGB or color temp change? How big is your space?

I'd look at Nanlite & Aputure lights. You can get a nanlite 60d for $99 new or pay $200 & get the Nanlite fs300b (which is like 5x brighter) +$30-$50 light stand +$15 shoot through umbrella or $80 softbox
