Can these be used as effective flood lights for blowing out the background on a white backdrop behind a model?

I do not think they are bright enough. We use them to photograph artwork and they must be placed VERY close to the object.

I bought this to light up a green backdrop....The results are that these lights are VERY weak. They did light up the green screen enough to come out to do the job. Im sure their not exactly what you have in mind but they might be able to help. Note:I have not replaced the bulb to see if I can get brighter ones.Not sure if that will help.

They definitely ought to work for that. However, you're going to want to check the bulbs you're using for the color light they're infusing your image with.

you may use bulb for stills or cine to capture your storms. Suggest you shoot in RAW format.

This is the second time this question has come up. From what I have seen of the design of the floodlight bulbs of this type, which are similar to regular floods, this device should work. As I don't have any to try it on, I use it to take down smoke detectors around my house to change the batteries.

They are not really bright enough for multiple people in a dark setting (like a wedding reception). When I used these for a photo booth application, I also had to have my speedlight flash on the camera - of course the camera was on a tripod to minimize camera shake. If you are using them in a bright space, they should work well. I have successfully used these for photos of couples where you can get the lights real close without worrying about the lights getting in the shot.

Hey! I use Paul C Buff "White Lightening" strobes. They are affordable and work amazing. They are also located in Nashville where I live so convenient! Great soft boxes! Follow me on Instagram if you want to see work with them! @C_TheLove

It would work well I think. The PD35 is very well balanced between a flood light and a spot light

I use the LED flood lights. They are great! They've been in there for a few years.

While you might be able to MacGuyver a solution that could work, I don't believe these covers were intended for that style of light. They're more for the Par-36 pin spot style DJ/theater light.

Takes a regular incandescent flood light - don't think the energy efficient type will work as they have a wider base .

Probably not. The design is as bare as you can get as far as structure. Mine was falling apart. They emit a great amount of soft light but other than that I wouldn't recommend doing anything else to them. The softboxes they come with are poorly manufactured and seem to be a bit much for the weight of the light heads.

Yes you can.. And they come with a nice switch and plenty of wire.. With connector's.. Check out their website.. They make a combined spot flood. Light..

I do not suggest these as actual lights, particularly in lowbeam application. Output is very minimal.

this light is more of a spot (pin point) light than a flood light (area). in terms of brightness I think u can using enough of these lights.

These lights should be fine just make sure that you have at least two of them. 1 for key lighting and the other for fill lighting and try to use and plain background (nothing behind you ) your videos will probably get better views for presentation.

I'm not sure this is what you want, I bought it for my son to make videos where he can then add in a different background. Not sure if this is what you want to do with your pictures. It needs extra lighting.

Yes the are white behind. I wouldn't use them for a white backdrop though do to seeing the printed side threw it.
