Change in Color Temperature
I have bought some lights that are giving around 5500 K on full power.
I also bought a dimmer so now I can control the power of the lights. Is it normal that when I go from full power (white lighting) to a very orange-yellow lighting when I dim those lights ? It seems they go to a 3200 K but I'm not sure. The lights were quite cheap so maybe that is the reason of its change in Color temperature ? Does it happen also with the more expensive lights ? |
What type of lights are we talking about?

Those redheads look-a-like from China I guess. ;)
I have used them a lot and they have helped me out big time, but it's just when dimming them they will change in color. I haven't worked with other expensive lights, so I don't know if it happens aswell. |
Yes, incandescents always warm up when dimmed to lower output.

I agree with Adam here.
A possible solution is to scrim the lights rather than dimming them. Al the Best! |
Any way to avoid dimming - ie ND filters/gels on the lights, lower wattage bulbs, different F-stop/shutter speed, etc etc.

Right ? |
You could do that, or as I suggested you could use scrims.
