Gotcha!

Seriously, thanks for the reply, Exactly the sort of advice I was slooking for. And, teaching something is often a great way to learn. We can all learn from each other.

But seriously, since it's tungsten, you could put a heavy wattage dimmer on it and make it a makeup light? Plus, you could use it as a prop. (ie, let the other kind of redhead lean on it.) Also, wouldn't it be essentially trounced by the output of the flashes and be reduced to just a little warmth to the color of things nearby? Maybe that could be used to simulate sunlight when subjects "look into the sun" and get a warm color on their face, yet the rest of the scene is correctly colored.

I'm just spitballing... I'm no strobist. I came to learn, not teach.

I was just given an old Ianebeam 800 Redhead tungstem light and wondering what I could use it for in a studio. I shoot exclusively with Canon strobes but wonder if a single light like this would have a role. I can't think of a practical way of mixing this with flashes but just thought I'd ask if anyone had any ideas.

Thanks
