I am building a video light set up for a friend.
Im looking at a twin head set up each with 4 Cree XP-G LEDs rated at about 490 lumen each.
He uses a Nikon D90 with a fish eye lens ( and others) that gives him 170 deg view.
The idea is to use the bare LED's with no optics. This would mean they would give a 120 deg wide beam before intensity falls below 50%. This will result in a very even beam.
Question is will it be enough light? ( can you ever have enough?).
Will the beam simply be too wide?
