| Post subject: | Old Ektachrome flashtubes? |
I found a box of older Ektachrome flashtubes for the older White Lightening series - or that is what's written on the box. They appear to have a ribbon of a "gold color" in them. Anyone know the color temperature of them and what they would be if I were only to put 1 tube in the W.L. making it 1/2 clear and 1/2 gold? I'm thinking they may warm skin tones up in lieu of using gold reflectors or umbrellas, but I have no color temp. flashmeter to tell the outcome for digital cameras. Anyone try this? Any ideas as to what their color temp. was back then? Tia. Mack |

Was the "Ektachrome" printed, or handwritten on the box? We do carry UV coated and non-UV coated tubes, but we do not label them Kodachrome. However, we did/do recommend them for slide film. The UV coated ones do have a slight yellow cast compared to the non UV coated tubes. Since you have 2 tubes, I assume you have an Ultra series light. This will give you 5600K for the non UV tubes and 5200k for the coated ones. |

I have no idea of color temperature of flashbulbs, but would guess they are pretty close to "sunlight" IE around 5600° to 5800°K. |
