video lights

[Martin Naef]

Hi Kai,

For cheap and cheerful, I hear good things about the halogen floods  
used by construction workers. Use gels to get the color tint right.  
Heat will be a problem though, but I think you'll have to battle with  
that anyway. At least you can place them at some distance as they are  
powerful enough to light up a complete room. Of course, there's always  
post processing available to get the light temperature right after the  
filming (within reason, of course).

I've yet to see any LED or "power saving" lamp where I like the color  
enough to use them in video, but you might find something good enough  
in the higher budget range.
