The managers were impressed by the white-balancing features on the Source Four LED Studio HD model, which makes it easier to balance the lighting against high-definition studio cameras. Even with the two presenters sitting next to one another, the colour temperature of the Source Four LEDs can be adjusted from 2700K to 6500K to complement their individual skin tones. The managers also appreciated that the fixtures didn't require any external dimmers, and that they have such a long life - up to 50,000 hours - which all helps to reduce costs.
This is the first time that the Source Four LED has been used in a studio in Israel, according to Hadar. "We have some great feedback from the technical managers at the station," he says, "and have already recommended them for another studio installation in Israel."
