I have been playing with a Sekonic spectrometer measuring lights. What I have noticed with LED lights is their lack of pure red. I think red is the most important color for skin tones. Particularly for the lighter skin tones. The surprising thing about CRI is that most CRI measurements are R8 measurements which is the first 8 colors in the CRI test. Guess where red is in this test? Red is the R9 color which is not included in R8. In my admittedly amateurish testing red was consistently the weakest color for LED lights. Typically down by 10%-20%. In the spectrographs for LED lights there is a consistent falloff in the red end of the spectrum. Typically falling to the bottom of the scale. Are my observations correct?
It might be for many lights. We are still playing catch up in some regards to the full spectrum that quartz halogen bulbs produce. With these new formulas like the BLAIR light engine, it seems we are getting there!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for sharing your videos with us
Thanks so much
Happy Birthday!!
Thanks.
So excited for this light!
Yeah. Looks great and price is right where it should be. Happy it’s not 4-6K
Happy birthday!
Thanks!
Happy Birthday!
Thank you and thanks for the support both as a viewer and your $ drops!
I love the 1200X 👍
Looking forward to the fresnel release!
Me too!
And the price of this fixture is actually stunning. Looks like GVM scrapped their 1200B after 1200X has been announced 😕
Agreed. It’s priced right!
Happy Birthday
Thank you sir!

LES? I've always called it GAS, gear acquisition syndrome. It's also more fun to tell people you have GAS.
Same but was just having fun with a new acronym.
Naw, let them have LES, I’m looking forward to grabbing some great fixtures on the used market lol
For sure!
Happy Birthday!
Thanks!
