David Cunningham Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm confused. Please explain. Are we talking about color temp? I have plenty of 5k colored lighting that is not 5000 watts so I suppose I am misunderstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan kessler Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yeah, okay, lights are usually called out by their wattage, not their color temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Rencher Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 5k wouldn't be a normal color temp for a light. It would most likely be 5,600 or 6,500 Kelvin. Most lights are named for their wattage. If someone is asking for a light by its color temperature, they will ask for a tungsten or daylight fixture.

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted September 17, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted September 17, 2013 You could also just call a 5K a Senior ;)Most of them will be 3200K for their color temp (i'm personally not aware of any 5K Hmis?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
