LED LIGHTS: The revolution is here and fast paced – can you keep up?
Welcome It was something top gaffer Perry Evans said to us: “Digital cameras had their revolution about six years ago and now it’s our moment to catch up with the rest of the industry.” Perry was talking about the onslaught of new LED light technology and the joy of now not going to work with a knife, a pair of pliers and a screwdriver in his pocket. His life is so much easier now his choices are made from a user interface on the back of a light or even on a tablet controller for a DMX wireless system. There are also the subtle changes of using light from projection systems which are being used more and more from companies like Lux Machina on movies including Solo: A Star Wars Story . This is now a world of high precision control and not necessarily high output. But with such a revolution there are always parts of the movement that can’t keep up with such a fast pace. With this in mind we have put together a survey to ask the leaders in LED light technology where we are headed. Questions like, ‘is CRI is the correct measurement for coloured LED lights any more?’ open the discussion between the thought leaders who are creating lighting’s future. As ever we want Definition to be a place for further discussion so read our survey and then follow us on social media to have your say.
