I just upgraded, and aint ever going back.

My first hotlight was a Dedolight 150W, it got me hooked and addicted on hotlights. I bought lots of Matthrews flags, Hollywood arms, grips, scrims and c-stands to use with them.

The 4x6 simulates soft window light and keeps the heat off your subject. Great for 3/4 and full length.

Jun 24 08 08:49 am Link Much of my work is done using hotlights (my port--row one, image two; row two, image three, row four image one, row five image two). They can be a bit harsh, as hotlights are often used without diffusion, but they're awesome for noir and other contrast-intensive work.
