You can not only change the color temperature on some lights but also change the color value as well. This means that you can have a light that can shine any color of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum. What types of lights manage changing color temperature and the color of visible light? In this video, author Robbie Carman and guest Kevin Bradley demonstrate how to use bicolor and LED lights.
- All right, Kevin, so far we've talked about…the simple approach of gelling lights and,…by the way, we didn't want to make it sound that like,…you can only gel tungsten lights.…Of course if you had a fluorescent light…that was a little bluer,…you could put a warm gel in front of that,…or whatever other flavor of gel to augment that.…We talked about changing bulbs out…on the fluorescent fixture like a Kino Flo.…Now, if all that kind of seems like a pain,…there are options of course these days…that make life a little easier when it comes to…changing the color temperature of a light.…For example, I have this little Blender light from Lowel…and if you look on the back of this…I have a couple knobs.…
And what I can do with those knobs, well,…is I can actually change the color temperature…and dial that in however I see fit, right?…So if I want to make it bluer or yellower,…I absolutely can do that just with the twist of a dial.…Which makes it, when you're doing an interview…and you have, you know, light on somebody, you know,…
