As a sidebar, I wonder why broadcast video cameras still need scads of light when a consumer minidv camcorder can deliver a nice picture with relatively normal light.
Why not go to your local on air, not cable, TV stadio and ask for a
tour, and ask an engineer to explain why the bright lights. They don't
use them for the fun of it. They are expensive, have short lives, and
produce a lot of heat, that must be
removed by expensive air conditioning.
