Have you seen the Kelvin Shift, when lowering the intensity from 100% to 10%? Wes Perry measured it to lika 900K in his video "I Retested EVERYTHING - A Close Look at Video Light Color Accuracy". Take a look at 7:50 ....
Yes, I’ve seen that Kelvin shift when lowering the intensity from 100% to 10%. It’s definitely something to be aware of, especially when you need consistent color accuracy in your lighting setup. Wes Perry’s video does a great job highlighting how much the color temperature can shift-900K is significant! It’s always a good idea to double-check your lights at different intensities if color fidelity is crucial to your project. Thanks for pointing out that video; it's a solid resource!
@@KarlWeinreichwell many use the light with a softbox as a key light and then don't go higher than 10%. I wonder how many of those are aware of that they are actually exposed with 6400K and not 5600K 😮
@wpse for sure, I would hope you are white balancing your shot every time you put a light up as so many things can affect color output. That should fix the hue difference.
@@KarlWeinreichYes it should, and I do, but I'm not really fund of redo the white balance everytime I change the intensity, which can be a few times over a photo session. Most of the lights in the 300W class, don't have that huge shift....
Agreed! I think this light is geared towards people who don't have the budget for more expensive and color accurate lights. This light will get the job done for 60-70% of people. But for professionals and people who need more from their lights, I would say that these may not be the ones to go with. I appreciate the perspective you have brought to the chat!
You had me at Bowens Mount
