Falcon Eyes has everyting you need to light your video scenes. These lights provide you with a flicker-free, energy efficient and easy to use continuous lighting system for photo and video purposes. In this section we show you a few highlights from our continuous lighting products.

How to use video lighting equipment

This continuous lighting equipment can be used for video purposes but for photo shoots as well. For photos, the most common solution is to use studio flashes, but continuous lighting can also be used. The benefit is that you can set your camera to “automatic”. The camera’s internal light metering will detect the artificial light as daylight and set the white balance, shutter and aperture accordingly. No need to enter any settings manually, so anyone can use these daylight lamps, even without any knowledge about photography.

The best known form of daylight lamps are the spiral lamps as shown on the left. They emit a neutral, white 5500K light very similar to normal daylight. In contrast to other white lamps, such as common office TL-lights, the white light emitted from these bulbs contain the whole color spectrum. This means that you will not get any haze or strange color effects in darker parts, so the result is as close to real daylight as possible.

These kind of bulbs are very energy efficient. They are about five times more efficient than normal lamps. This means that you can compare the light output of a 40W spiral lamp to that of a 200W normal lamp.

They produce very little to no heat at all which makes them perfect for prolonged use. These daylight spiral lamps cannot be steplessly dimmed, however, most of our daylight equipment allows you to turn the lamps on and off indivually which still gives you sufficient control over the amount of light in your scene.

They become quite hot, however, so a little caution is in order when using them.  The QLG-1000 has a bayonet connection for accessories so you can use it with a softbox. Be sure to buy the right kind of softbox (e.g. Falcon Eyes SBQ-series) which allow the heat to disperse correctly. The SBQ-series softbox have a flap on the backside that can be opened for better airflow.

By shooting your photo or video through the ring, you can light your scene very evenly which reduces shadows around the object.

You can use two or more DV-lights together to create a bigger camera light unit.

Using one of our many available camera accessories, such as brackets, you can control the light just the way you want. In the picture shown on the right, a MSW-2A450 magic Arm is used.
