dandealy: I love the light tech. Thanks Jared! What are the umbrellas made out of to reflect the light so well? superdoofus-stratodrive: Just got our new umbrellas (we make ‘em ourselves). This latest material gets 5.6+1/3 at 1000 fps at 8’ out at ISO800 burning a 2.5K HMI. Holy crap that’s bright for indirect light. Yo Dan! Hope all’s well at your new digs. The new skin is silver alloy impregnated heat-resistant cloth. Which is to say that molten silver alloy is applied to a fabric with a temperature rating of 1,500F, it’s also part of why the 6-footers have a cost around $15,000 each. When you’re burning 10,000 watt bulbs within a foot of the material for 16 hours straight it needs to stand up.
