How do I Achieve a Pure White Background?

To achieve a pure white background you need to light your background separately to your main subject otherwise the background will appear grey due to light fall off. First of all, you need to be able to pull your subject away from the background if possible to prevent any bounced/reflected light from the background affecting your subject. Then you need to light your background to be about 1-1½ stops brighter (2x brighter) than your main subject allowing you to essentially blowing out (over exposing) your background. If the output from your background lights are too low, the background will appear grey. However, if your background lights are set too high, the light will begin to eat into your subject resulting in an undesirable muddy look with little contrast. You also increase your risk of getting flare in your lens. Ideally your background needs to be lit with at least two lights (one from each side) resulting in a more evenly lit background and to avoid getting dark areas on your final photograph or video footage. maximum sync speed that your flash trigger allows you to use (please refer to your flash trigger’s user manual).

Why are 100w Fluorescent bulbs brighter than 100w Tungsten Bulbs?

Wattage is a unit of power consumption and not a unit of brightness. Tungsten/Incandescent lights produce light by super-heating a small coil of tungsten metal called a filament until it glows to produce light, therefore the majority of the power consumed, is given off as heat energy. Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) bulbs work differently. CFL bulbs are comprised of two main sections: the ballast, and the gas-filled tube which on a CFL bulb is usually coiled. The Ballasts send an electrical current through the gas filled tubes producing Ultra violet (UV) light. The UV light then excites the molecules in the phosphorus coating inside of the tubes, producing visible light. Since CFL bulbs don’t need to superheat a filament to operate, and uses the power more efficiently (i.e. the majority of the energy consumed is converted into light as opposed to heat), CFL bulbs don’t require as much power to produce the same amount of light as a tungsten bulb does making them more energy efficient. CFL bulbs also run cooler. The brightness of a bulb is a measured in Lumens or Lux.
