11/07/2024 Infinity Lighting: the illusion of natural light from a far distance
The dedolight PB70 is unique - not just in physical appearance, not just in terms of high output and low energy consumption: the PB70 enables the cinematographer to achieve a natural, organic quality of light while at the same time defeating what is called The Inverse Square Law. In simple terms the inverse square law means “as distance increases from the lighting source intensity decreases.” When we double that distance from the light source the result is a quarter of the original light; however, when working with the PB70 this is not true. The measurements below show photometri...

With such a near parallel beam the light does not derive anymore from the light, the instrument. It is to be seen as a virtual light source from way behind the fixture. How do we define this? We elongate the outer rays of the beam backwards until they cross and that is where the virtual light source is active with the dedolight PB70 - this is between 6 and 20 meters behind the instrument. This enhances the distance from the effective light source to the object and thus it diminishes all the ill effects of the square law.
