Using Continuous Lighting in the Studio
Continuous lighting is essential for extended photoshoots and video productions in studios. Unlike brief flashes, it provides a constant source of light to illuminate subjects and highlight their details. There are different types of continuous lighting available, each with its own unique features and benefits.
Cool and Efficient LED Lighting
LED lighting, including spotlights, is a popular choice for studio lighting. One advantage of LED lights is that they generate less heat compared to other lighting options. They remain cool even during long periods of use, making them energy-efficient. LED lights produce natural-looking daylight illumination, making them perfect for recorded footage. They come in sets and various models, such as Fresnel lights with specialized lenses for focused lighting, adjustable beam angle panels, and floodlights for large areas.
Warm and Natural Tungsten Lighting
Tungsten lighting, which uses tungsten bulbs, creates a warm and distinctive light. It offers a different color and look compared to other types of lighting. Tungsten lights are available in various forms, including floodlights and studio lighting with adjustable barn door openings. Some tungsten lights even have wooden handles that stay cool to the touch during operation, ensuring safety.
Glow of Fluorescents
Fluorescent lights are an affordable and easily replaceable option. They have a low light output, which makes them suitable for object photography and videography. They work well with softboxes and other lighting accessories often included in lighting kits.
HMI and Plasma Lights
For longer distance lighting needs, HMI and plasma lights are reliable choices. They have a greater throw distance compared to other lighting options, making them suitable for specific situations. HMI and plasma lights are energy-efficient and compatible with a range of fixtures. They can be kept off-camera easily and can safely operate on 20A circuits while providing impressive brightness. Their versatility makes them ideal for video production.
These various types of continuous lighting provide photographers and videographers with a range of options to suit their specific lighting needs in the studio. Whether it's LED, tungsten, fluorescent, or HMI and plasma lights, each type offers its own benefits and advantages for capturing stunning visuals.
