Tungsten Light Tungsten light, also known as incandescent light, is a type of artificial lighting commonly used in photography, film production, and indoor lighting applications. Tungsten light sources produce illumination by passing an electric current through a tungsten filament, which heats up and emits light in the visible spectrum. Tungsten light has a warm color temperature of around 3200 Kelvin, which gives it a yellowish-orange hue.
It is often used in indoor settings, such as homes, studios, and stage productions, to provide ambient lighting or as a primary light source for photography and videography. Tungsten light sources require color correction filters or white balance adjustments to compensate for their warm color temperature when used alongside daylight or other light sources with different color temperatures. |
