We are making a movie at night and my partner purchased a Thor 10M light. After reading about a hundred posts, I was wondering if some of you experts could help me cut to the chase.
1. How do I get rid of the vertical line in the spot?
(Change the bulb?)
2. Anyone know the color temperature of the bulb?
3. If we change to an alternate bulb what would it's
color temp be?
4. How long will the battery supply power w/o dimming,
and can it be extended or changed quickly?
5. Can I run the wall wart off of 120V from a generator
w/o damaging the battery from the lower connection on
the housing?

I can answer a few of your questions...

unfiltered halogen bulbs run at 3,200K give or take a 100

an alternate bulb would yield the same color temp unless there was a color filter

of course filters eat a lot of lumens
