We used it to back light a nice blue wall on a location shoot we did. It was the first time it was ever used for anything really pertaining to actual shooting. I do not plan on using these types of lights as a source to light my subjects. Our new studio strobes will be in this coming week. Thank you for sharing your story. I am glad to hear that I was not the only one who had a problem with them. It sounds like your situation was pretty intense. I couldnt imagine how intense that must have been to have happen. I thought my situation was a little dangerous. Yours was far worse. <br /><br />Thank you for your comment.Jeffrey Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00294895415815148525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5131269798100894932.post-86195687340299399852010-01-14T00:09:12.320-08:002010-01-14T00:09:12.320-08:00I started shooting using these bulbs as my only so...I started shooting using these bulbs as my only source of lighting. I sometimes had a bar bulb in a reflector pointed at a my human subject.<br /><br />Until one of them blew up at an opportune time (when i was testing with no one around)<br /><br />The glass blew all over the place as far away at 15 feet. They were hot enough to ruin the carpet by melting the fiber. <br /><br />I never pointed them at another human being. Changed to florescent daylight balanced bulbs with a lot less light and a lot less light BUT little heat and NO danger.ProShotphoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339154852672573169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5131269798100894932.post-27915731365162824812010-01-07T20:51:15.856-08:002010-01-07T20:51:15.856-08:00That's one way to get the scoop on a big fire....That's one way to get the scoop on a big fire.
