SOLID STATE LIGHTING

It’s effect on the Motion Picture Industry

What is Solid State Lighting? Any type of

lighting that uses LEDs, OLEDs (Organic), or PLEDs (Polymer)

Most “white” LED fixtures convert blue light to an approximate white light spectrum

Tungsten Light Produces light with a

filament wire heated to a high temperature by an electric current passing through it, until it glows

Produces a continuous spectrum of light

Has a consistent color temperature of 3200K

Advantages of SSL Little generation

of heat Long life span Dimmable with

consistent color temperature

Smaller and lighter over tungsten fixtures

More energy efficient

Disadvantages of SSL Does not produce a

continuous spectrum of light

Most fixtures are soft sources

Produces a narrow beam of light

Few offer the option of changing between 3200-5600K

Costly
