Hey guys!
I work in an insect behavior lab and we use a lot of high speed videography in our experiments. For the lighting we need red lights to film because the insect eyes are not sensitive in the red-far red region. Right now we use a 1000 W incandescent lamp with red filters (absorptive). But these filters generate a lot of heat (IR radiation) in the forward region and that is not good for the insects. So for a long time we have been thinking of switching to cooler lighting options and LED lights would be one of the options.
I am basically looking for high wattage red led lamps (in the range of 50-100W). I need really high lumens because I film at 4000 frames per second with <70 us exposure time. A lot of light! Smaller the lamp better for me. Also along with lamps I'm planning to buy tripod stand for better maneuverability.
The problem is, most of the led lamps in the market are white in color and using a red filter on a white led lamps gives absymally low intensity values.
Please let know if you have high wattage bright red LED lamps along with tripods in your mind. I would be really grateful.
