Light Studio Umbrella
September 29th, 2009
What is the ideal lamp to put on my Umbrella Studio Light?
I have just bought an umbrella studio light but i am not sure what kind of lamp to use and how many watts it should have. I know it says 27 watts but it does not seem enough.
Here is the link to it http://www.amazon.com/PHOTOGRAPHY-CONTINUOUS-LIGHTING-UMBRELLA-Fluorescent/dp/B000GX484U/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1235708561&sr=8-9
It takes compact flourescent lights called Cool Lights. http://www.amazon.com/Watts-5500K-Color-corrected-Fluorescent/dp/B000K1MIZO/ref=pd_sim_e_1
Basically it’s a low wattage bulb that’s daylight balanced. Daylight balanced bulbs aren’t cheap. It will produce a lot of light for being 27 watts, but it’s still not going to be as bright as if you used strobes.
