Hi All,
I've just built a 4R4A4G4B LED array, to investigate diversifying into RAGB (red/amber/green/blue) LED lighting rather than pure RGB lighting. I had the idea that RAGB LED lights would be better for photography/videography than RGB lights.
Any suggestions for suitable test examples to test if the RAGB lighting is better than RGB lighting and compare to flouro/incandescent.....if results are good I'll track down a photographer with suitable 'studio' lighting and filters to see if these devices will be handy in that market.
Some examples I've thought of already:
- human subject, skin tones
- box or colourful crayons or pens
- a cooked meal (ie if RAGB/RGB lights are used in a restaurant...we don't want the food looking strange)
- any others???
Any ideas on the best way to examine the results....preferably in an objective way (eg can you determine the CRI using a digital camera+paint shop pro??), but some subjective areas to look at would be OK.
Lastly, would it be better to look at RAGB lighting to replace incan+filters and to try to reproduce 'normal' sunlight/incan light or should I look at new ways of using this lightings abilities....any help from professional photographers would be handy here.
