Todd and Mark,
Thank you for the advice. I will be heading to a local TV studio and a church, that broadcasts their services, in the near future.
Much of what you have written confirms what I was thinking. As I need to put together a RFQ for anything over $500 and the company I’m purchasing through needs to take POs, the idea of going to Ebay or a pawnshop is not an option. However, I can purchase through Amazon so maybe that’s an answer.
As far as lighting instruments, I’m looking at LED fixtures. The electricity useage is the largest factor as I think I’ll have limited options for adding circuits. Would daylight 5600k be better than a warmer 3200k? And is adding a gel to LED lights similar to adding a gel to a tungsten lamp? Is one manufacturer better than another? (Bescore, ikan, etc.)
Thanks again for your help,
Keith
