Ari, now I'm really confused. Is it K or is it Lux that is used to measure the brightness of lights? I see in your setup, you have 18000K yet the Lux is lower than the 2800K lights. I remember reading an article explaining these things but it was way too technical (or maybe I was still too newbie at that time). Can any forumers share any good articles explaining these K and Lux thingies? And if FLs can achieve such great brightness, what is the use of PLs then? Stan had a look at my set of 4x36W PLs and it seems it is not being used to it's full potential due to everything being crammed up into a small space and all sharing one single reflector.
