An old video I recorded back in October 2008 using my craptacular Aiptek camcorder, but never uploaded. This 650-watt light is an artifact of the days when movie camera film required a lot of light in order to obtain usable results indoors, and ironically, it would also be perfect for many of today's digital cameras which also have terrible low light sensitivity. However, this particular light starts smoking if you keep it on for more than a few seconds, probably due to faulty wiring.
