Hi, I have just ordered a Comer CM-LBPS1800 but I'm thinking to have just made an error. Now I am afraid about its colour temerature, in fact it is 4500K e 3200K. Now I'm embittered for it. Will I have made an error to ordered it?
Thanks

I would think it depends on what you are shooting. My GH-1 has the ability to white balance in the camera with a 'K' value, as well as a fine tuning micro adjustment. If your camera does have a 'manual' K option, then set it up for 4100 K... the problem of course is if you have 'real' tungsten lights in the shot... but many 'from Home Depot' or similar retail stores, are not 3200 anyway, but more like 3000, 2700, or whatever the manufacturer can get away with...
 
With the built-in filter the Comer goes down to 3200K. With no filter it's 4500K...easily white balanced manually. As it's an on-camera light it's designed to be the key/the only auxilliary lighting. Like for news gathering/event shooting.
