Hey everyone!
I'm looking for recommendations on led fresnel lights. I'd also like the ability to use gels with them. I'm a still photographer that uses strobes. I use to primarily shoot in studio, and recently I've switched genres to focus on creative story telling & Environmental type portraits. The reason I want to add led fresnel lights is so I can see what I am creating versus having to test my strobes each and every time. I want to incorporate using haze to create light rays or to add a little bit of depth to an image. I will be working inside only with the lights, so I won't need to be battling the sun power wise. I have my strobes for that. Eventually I will be wanting to jump into the video side of things.
I've looked at the new Arri c series. The recommendation I have received was to look for light output around 650-2k wattage wise. That seems a bit excessive from my robust knowledge with strobes. I'm not sure how the power translates from tungesteon to led. Ikan seems affordable, but I'm unsure of the quality. I don't want to buy cheap only to buy twice.
I did search for similar topics and wasn't able to find anything similar.
Thank you
