Long exposure note as possible with digital. Chips get hot without active cooling. So then you have to kill a cow and stuff it in your camera. Very mesy

Subject: Re: Question on flash and power or intensity measurement.
My Dad shot pictures of antiques for various books he wrote about restoring furniture and all he used was a 200W bulb in a reflector. He shot a Speed Graphic, put it on a tripod,set the shutter for T, and walked around with the bulb lighting things here and there while wearing a black outfit. The shots look great, and although I now have the negs, I can�t see any part of him in any of the shots.
So if you�re not shooting things that move, shoot hot lights.

Well Jan the math is that 1 sec of 500 Watts = 1 strobe pop. So of course if you can fire your strobes many times in 1 second then you get A LOT of light. I can get 5 pops a second with my packs set at 500 ws. BUT if you just need to you know have a space heater in a room with a blonde 2k and possibly burn people or melt stuff around amateurs and non crew then then Hey HOT lights might be the way to go. Just remember to bring your Gaffer gloves.
