What is tungsten lighting?
Tungsten lighting, a form of hot or continuous lighting in studio applications, finds its most prevalent use in video applications. Some digital still photographers and portrait photographers prefer tungsten lighting for its consistency, but most prefer strobe lighting. Despite the drawbacks of strobes, their energy efficiency and cooler working conditions make them preferable to tungsten lighting for most applications.
