An Analysis of the Application of Fluorescent Lamps to Motion Picture Photography

Reinhardt Rosenberg

A brief discussion on photographically important characteristics of fluorescent lamps is followed by a thorough mathematical analysis of the constancy of light produced by fluorescent lamps. The conclusion is reached that, during exposure times ordinarily encountered in motion picture photography, the constancy of light from fluorescent lamps, if these are properly applied, far exceeds minimum requirements and that, even for extremely short exposure times, this constancy is well within accepted limits.
