Only one spot?

[Dominique Grenier]

If you could only have ONE spot (or light) what would it be? And why?

Just curious...

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

The sun... ;-)

there is nothing like it!

(I am sure it wasn´t the answer you wanted, but I couldn´t resist)

well... that could be it! However, that doesn't count since everybody already has it (most of the time).

So, to rephrase: if you could only have one light (spot), except for the sun, what would it be? :bleh:

a blue spot please.

I guess it is just another way of asking what is your favorite light? I mean, I know there's no such thing as a perfect light, as it depends on the shot, the location, etc.. But what I'd like to know is, what is the light that you really, really like to look at? or to use?

[Poi Boy]

OK, the blue spot was an obscure reference to a Steve Martin routine but seriously, the Sun.

An Arri 4K HMI

I've given it a bit more thought and I have to go with IMGs choice. Sometimes the Sun doesn't take direction too well.

The Mole 9 light.

[Don Woods]

Yeah the sun is nice but you kind of have to bring more stuff to work with it.

The Mole 9 is a good choice.

[Alexander Nikishin]

I'd love to get the chance to use the new Arrimax 18k.

[Don Woods]

As would I have not had the opertunity yet would love to its a sweet light

[Alexander Nikishin]

Oh I forgot the why, sorry.

I love the Mole 9 light because it is a very broad and soft source with a good amount of kick and control.

You can choose from wide, medium and spot bulbs, throw it through grid cloth or bounce it or go direct for moon light, lots of options.

The downside of the light though is its size.
