Introduction
hdr light studio cinema 4d is also called video light, movie light. It is an artificial light source for photography. When the ambient light is too low, the equipment must be used for camera. It is a necessary auxiliary lighting for photography and videography for photographers and journalists to take photos or videos in a dark environment.
hdr light studio blender is mainly composed of lamp holder, power supply, control switch, connecting device and so on.
hdr light studio blender has many differences in light intensity, color temperature, luminous body, structural design and so on.
Features
type of light source
Early hdr light studio blenders used halogen lamps as luminous bodies, such as ICON-C024 hdr light studio blender, which has a color temperature between 2800K and 3000K. The white balance of the camera must be set at the incandescent lamp position to show good color reproduction . Its disadvantages are low light intensity, high power consumption, and short life span.
Solid-state lighting technology LED lights are widely used in the field of photography, and its color temperature can accurately achieve 5600K. The video light with 5600K color temperature can be mixed with natural light to achieve color balance. Small size, high power, high brightness, good light efficiency, low energy consumption, and low temperature are a major highlight. Video lights with LED lights as luminous bodies have become mainstream. ICON-C012 is the LED video light.
Light intensity
Light intensity is a main indicator. The power of a small video light is only a few watts, and the light intensity is only more than 100 lumens. Video lights with high light intensity have hundreds of watts and thousands of lumens. If you often take pictures in places where the ambient light is very weak and relatively wide, such as conference halls, etc., you need a video light with higher power and high light intensity.
Small video light is generally integrated, that is, the lamp holder and battery are integrated, and it can work directly by inserting it into the accessory socket of the camera. Simple and easy to operate, it is very suitable for general application of small DV machine. Using LED as the luminous body, between 5W and 25W, the light intensity of less than 15W is enough for non-professional photographers.

How to use low power hdr light studio blender
0.5W low-power LED lights are widely used. The panel structure video light produced by this LED has the advantage of large light-emitting area. Of course, the disadvantage is that the area is large and it is not very good to install on the camera. If it is small, the power is not large enough, but the price is relatively low. Low, non-professional photographers like to use it. Such as ICON-C020 and so on.
Color temperature adjustment
Another great advantage of using LED as a luminous body is that the color temperature can be controlled at will, and it can be adjusted at will between 3000K and 6000K. For example, video lights such as ICON-C020 have a color temperature function. But the color temperature function also has its shortcomings. Because the LED lights with two different color temperatures are mixed to alternately change the light intensity, only half of the energy is always emitted, so only half of the light effect. For example, the power of 200 0.5W LED lights should be 100W, but due to the color temperature function, the actual power used is only 50W.
Irradiation angle
The illumination angle of hdr light studio tungsten is also an important factor. Choose camera lights with different illumination angles according to shooting needs. For example: JY-D2000 is an ultra-wide-angle camera light, which is characterized by a wide irradiation area. The irradiation angle is 110 degrees, the light is uniform and soft, and there is no vignetting around it. It is generally used with a 28-55mm focal length lens.
There is also a video light that can adjust the illumination, generally based on the standard lens of the photography equipment. If the irradiation angle is too large, energy will be wasted. If the irradiation angle is too small, black edges or dark corners may appear in the image. The illumination angle of most video lights is about 60 degrees. In order to achieve higher light intensity, many panel lights use LEDs with a 45-degree illumination angle. There are also very few camera lights that have the function of adjusting the angle of illumination, such as BL-HD80, BL-DC200F and so on. The illumination angle of the video light can be adjusted to adapt to different focal lengths of the camera lens.

Multi-lamp stitching
Multi-lamp splicing has also become a fashion. It is the first to see that panel video lights made of low-power LED lights have splicing functions, which can realize random multi-lamp splicing. The most worth mentioning is the ICON-C015 Matrix 4x4 blinder light small video light, which can not only adjust the light, adjust the illumination angle, but also splice at will. It is called "Transformers" by professional photographers.
