  Q. FLASH/FLOOD

Asked by william umana    (K=2) on 12/23/2004 
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY LIGHT SYSTEM WHICH DOES BOTH FLASH AND FLOOD LIGHTING?

I have never seen a studio flash system that was advertised as aslo being a flood system, but many lighting systems have the capacity for modeling lights that are very bright. if you disabled the slaves on the flash unit then the modeling light would be continuous and work with all the barn doors, softboxes, grids and such that were made for that system. the downside is that for a flood lighting system this would be quite expensive, and you still end up with light that is not daylight corrected. these modeling lamps are often unusual shaped bulbs that are quite expensive to replace.

i suppose the other direction would be to start with photoflood light heads and add screw in AC slave units to provide flash service. this has the serious downside that you have almost no control over the output of these slave flash units and they are usually low poered compared to even a modest monlight that can carry up to a 250 watt modeling light.

2cents@large.

I know of one photographer who works in just this way -- using the modelling lights for exposure. The modelling lights are 250 watts in my flash heads. Shutter speeds will be a little slow, but definitely not unusable.

Maybe find some heads or monolights that can take a brighter bulb and you can make it work.
