I meant that the IP rating requirement is obvious, I can look at chapter 7.Why is IP rating not an issue? I would have thought that with any light being used in or around a pool, especially where children will be involved, having fittings with correct protection and IP rating would be the issue.
In any case, your question is extremely vague, so I'm not even sure how to answer it. Bulbs for for what? How bright? What type of light? What colour temperature? I would have thought a professional photographer would have been able to answer most of these questions.
I think that they are too yellow,any "FLOOD" lights!!!
sorry couldn't resist it!!!
I am not taking the pictures and this, I think, should be the teachers worry, I am just trying to make a living...well there is the obvious thing about childeren and pictures for starters.
It is possible that there will be a professional photographer....
I know that this is not so simple, therefore I started this post.the more i thinnk about it, the more i am thinking its not a good idea, no, nothing to do with THAT, but you can't use ordainairy lights above the water, and below the water IP68 lights will be fine, (but expensive) it just the camera will get wet.
Again I am not the police and there is no evidence that it is going to be used in an inproper way, I am the one that puts the lights in (if). They can use it for BBQ if they wish...I honestly think its a novel idea, but not a job for the swimming teacher.
Swimming pools are quite brightly lit anyway.Hi,
A swimming teacher wants to take photos of the children in the pool. Can anyone recommend type of bulbs that will be suitable. Obviously the issue is not IP rating but the brightness of the bulbs.
Thanks
I agree. Surely it's a job for a professional photographer, with all the gear, not for a DIY electrician. For a couple of hundred quid or so get an experienced professional who can produce the results you want, first time, no problem.
Firstly thanks for the replies, when I said that it was partially answered i was thinking of what you repeated in this post. I am aware of the complications and the almost unlimited options and combination in a scenario like this, but I believe that asking questions for second opinion and or advice cannot be harmful, dangerous but positive. if you do not learn something new some one who read the posts will... In any case i can feel which direction the wind blows, and it helps to reinforce what I was thinking when I started the post.I'm sorry Albert, but as we've already tried to point out, you (or your client, as it seems) are looking at this from entirely the wrong angle. It is the photographers responsibility to provide a suitable light source for their work, and if you don't ask him/her first then you may find yourself specifying something entirely unsuitable for the job.
There are far too many variables to be taken into account, and surely a lot of the lighting issues will come down to the effect the photographer is trying to achieve? From my very limited experience in the field of picture taking, FDJ's advice seems like the most appropriate so far, although that may indeed differ from the personal opinion of the photographer being employed for this job.
yep, you make it very clear as usual... especially with the pint but still no reason not to ask.its still a no though.
as also said , say i said x lights which are ip 68 rated £100 each, you get say 10. photographer turns up, "ere mate get your stuff out of the way please".
I understand why you are trying to help, but there are some instances where you have to say "thats a quart, i only have a pint pot"
