High-Intensity Lighting (HIL) for Photography of Launch Operations, NASA Project Apollo
High-intensity lighting (HIL) for outdoor color motion pictures requires large amounts of daylight quality light sources. Data are presented on the use of over 1600 kw of high-power xenon lamps in searchlight arrays for lighting the Saturn launch vehicle at the launch pad and through the first 1,300 ft of elevation. A tungsten-mercury lamp mix and the new metallic additive lamps may be used in the Vertical Assembly Building and other buildings. Color response is considered plus desirability of three-wavelength radiant energy measurement instead of luminance.
