Led lighting

[R D S]

It did.

[Martin Brown]

You surely jest.

Photography under fluorescent lights is nigh on impossible because of the strong green mercury line. Autowhite balance fiddles it on digital cameras more or less but for classic film it was dire. The human eye is incredibly tolerant of accepting odd shades of "white" light as white.

No.

There is a vast range of fluorescent tubes available - including ones designed for colour matching and photography. But you'll not find them in your local shop.

LEDs, on the other hand, don't have a continuous spectrum. Although are slowly getting better.

The same applies to them as specialist fluorescent. The better the colour spectrum the lower the efficiency.

You used a pink filter.

You need to be careful if you do that. Most LED tubes have a short at one end and if you put them in with the feed at that end things will trip.

I feed the live at one end and the neutral at the other so that the tube will work either way around.

This is what most conversions do, except they leave the ballast in.

You dropped the lan in front. You just need to remember that *gauge* is an awkward word in the English *language*. Gauge, a five letter word with u in the middle.

Is it the eye though I thought it was the brain that sorted that sort of thing out. There's also dedecaded f;oscenst lights for photographery (well there were) and for plants and for aquaruims. I think they do LEDs for all the above now.
