Lighting in Daylight

probably muscos.

Wendy's are tungsten, Musco's are HMI's -- the equivalent to a Wendy light would be something like a 24-lamp Dino light or MaxiBrute, if you grouped them into even bigger units. A Full Wendy had 196 globes but they were Par 36's, a Dino uses Par 64's. I don't know if there is a 1K Par 36 globe...

[Stuart Brereton]

I think Par 36 & 56 top out at 650w.

[Albion Hockney]

ah so wendy lights were just before people were using par 64's? I thought it was just the same as a Dino

[Stuart Brereton]

Wendys were often globed with FAY lights, which are Dichroic Daylight globes. They are Par 36. People have been using all kinds of Pars for years. Watkin most likely chose Par 36 because of the availability of FAY globes in that size.

Thanks you Mr. Mullen. I've used MaxiBrutes before and never really thought about them as being modern.

[David Mullen ASC]

Multi-bank tungsten lights have been around for a long time but are still used today, same goes for tungsten fresnel lamps. If they are still used regularly, I think you can consider them "modern" as in contemporary, they just aren't new. There isn't a 3200K LED version of a Dino or Wendy light out there yet.

Although there's not really much stopping someone from doing it, technically. To get that sort of projecting light, you'd probably have to avoid remote-phosphor LEDs, which might mean you couldn't achieve the very best colour rendering that's often only available with that approach.

 

You'd be looking at about 30kW of LED to match the 124kW of tungsten, which is quite a lot. Hundred-watt modules are available. Cooling would be entertaining.
