I saw this in an ad for ACE hardware. I was wondering if I could use them for spot lighting. It's $24.99 with a $5 rebate this week. Total Cost $19.

I've used things like that many times for different constant lighting projects. However, watch out for the heat...those things get REALLY hot.

Feb 28, 2006 18:03 | #3 Wasn't thinking about attaching anything to them, but for $20, I thought they were a bargain. If nothing else, it can be used outside when my hubby barbeques, so he's not in the dark. Believe me, it'll be used. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

Look in the studio lighting FAQ for the bad points about constant lighting. 6' isn't very high either, I have 13' stands, they're taller than you usually need but 6' isn't enough IMHO.

Icepirate Junior Member 27 posts Joined May 2005 More info | I have 2 sets of these lights that I use for Maintenance/Contract work. I have used them on several ocassions as a cheap studio light. They add a lot of yellow to the final pics though.. you have to run a custom white balance to correct it all out. Also, they get VERY HOT! We installed 4 furnaces in the basement of a apartment building running 2 sets of these. The temperature in the basement when we started was around 15 degrees farenheit. When we finished up 5 hours later it was almost 50 degrees. This was in a 20x60 basement. So be careful with the lights and be prepared for your models to sweat after about 10-15 mins under the lights.
