    A couple of years my art teacher let me have some Bell & Howell lights. It's a small black box witch you can screw not 1 but 2 bulbs in.

    It says:
    120 volts
    600 watts maximum

    Now these lights are BRIGHT. I mean they're fucking bright! I can go blind from looking at the light they produce. The make everything just..white. They also get really hot in about 10 seconds.

    Are these movie lights i have? I can't imagine pointing these at any actors. Despite them being so bright, they are damn good qulaity. Damn good. (and yes i know i can buy less powerfull bulbs, shut up)

    Sure they are film lights...

    The 600w lights you have are great for lighting small rooms, etc.

    You may want to find some diffusion paper to use to soften the brightness from them.

    I am guessing they use Tungsten bulbs?
