Default Re: Arrow 1000/S 1000W Quartz Halogen Movie Light Smoking

I did a bit more experimentation today, I decided to try pointing the light at the ceiling and allowing the light to reflect down onto the subject. What a huge difference! No shadows and a much nicer picture. Thanks for the tip about indirect lighting. The lamp appears to have stopped smoking completely, I can only assume that some dust was left on the bulb. As for the crackling, I have no idea. Possibly caused by leaving it on too long but it hasn't happened again.
