Carbon Arc Lighting

[Richard Scudder]

Hi, I love the look of the old Mole Richardson Arc Lights.

I Have two Mole Richardson 10k "Big Eye"

Of corse we all know the how to put a CTB on tungstin lights and bring the temp up to 5600 K.

Q? What is the color temperature of the old coper-coated carbon arc lights?

Moonlight and xenon arc lamps are 4,100 K.

In general is there a way to somehow reproduce the light quality of M-R Arc's with my 10k's ?

One location I will be shooting at is The Bonneville Salt Flats in UT.
