bill_burgin Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 I have a Sony TRV-10 camcorder that my wife and I will be using in the Philippines. I would like to take some type of portable lighting for indoor recording. We were considering the umbrella type lighting fixture. The power is 220. Does anyone have any suggestions?

larry_albert Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 Bill, You will be using "hot lights." Many, if not all, fixtures will accept several different lamps. These different lamps may vary in wattage or voltage. Example: Lowell Tota-light accepts lamps from 300 watt to 800 watt when using 120 volt. A 800 watt lamp is listed for 220 volt. Check with a knowledgable dealer or manufacture about what lamps will fit their fixtures. Also check lamp prices before buying the fixture. There is wide varation of prices for lamps of same wattage. Also there is wide varation in prices fromm different dealers. Lamp prices might make the bargain fixture very expensive to keep using. You will need to find out what plug/receptacle combination is used for power in the Philippines. You might need to order different power cords to fit. Hope this helps.
