Q&A’s
- Continuous lighting means exactly what the name implies… A source of light that is on continuously as opposed to a strobe/flash light, which produces a burst of intense light for a fraction of a second. Continuous light come in many different forms, including Tungsten, Fluorescent, Halogen and LED etc. Continuous lighting is suitable for both photographic and video work.
- Colour Temperature refers to the colour cast given off by various light sources usually represented by a four or five digit number followed by the letter “K” (which stands for degrees Kelvin. e.g. 5500K). For Example, Tungsten/ Incandescent lights are usually rated between 2700-3500K give off a warm orange coloured light. Electronic Flash, Daylight and anything daylight balanced is usually rated between 5000-6000K will give off a more neutral white light. Anything rated higher than 6000K (e.g. overcast days, LCD/CRT screens) will give off a slightly bluish light. Most cameras come with a range of pre-set White Balance options to help compensate for any colour casts given off by the type of lighting that you are using. Some cameras also give you the option of creating a custom white balance profile, by either shooting something that is of a neutral colour (such as a grey card) or by directly inputting the colour temperature of your lights into your camera.
- All of our mains powered products require a voltage of 220-240v (which is the mains voltage used in the UK and most of Europe) to operate properly.
- 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.
- If your photographs or videos are coming out with a strange colour cast, the chances are that you are using the wrong White balance setting for the lights you are using on your camera. Set your camera to either Auto white balance or the relevant white balance pre-set to the type of lighting you are using. Some cameras also allow you to set a custom white balance (Please refer to your camera’s user manual). Wattage is a unit of power consumption and not a unit of brightness.

Perfect for Vinyl Backdrops
forget those little plastic 35mm for holding a vinyl roll (i did try them and within an hour of using them half of them were missing the orange ends and didnt do anything to stop the vinyl unrolling). These however are a different story they are very very strong, I actually cellotaped some additional padding over the ends just to give my vinyl some additional protection. Quite stiff to open and close you need a lot of strength.
They do however clamp my vinyl perfectly and it no longer unravels itself.
Would recommend these to anyone using vinyl backdrops
