Legends tell of a magical lamp with amazing properties such that it mimics the rays of the very Sun. This lamp fits securely in the confines of the standard set of worklights, normally known for their jaundiced yet powerful deep yellow glow.

The magic lamp.

Under normal circumstances, the light emitted from a worklight is difficult to work with, and results in monochromatic and blown-out actors. However, with the magical daylight colored bulb, a majestic blue beam issues forth and all shots are glorious, rich and wonderful.

I have been looking everywhere for these bulbs. I have called a dozen online suppliers, and nobody carries halogens in anything other than 2700K. I even paid a visit to suppliers at LightFair to ask around for these specific temperature of lamps, and none were to be had.

Obviously they exist, as there is a picture of one inches to the left of these words. Maybe someday I will find my magic lamp, but until then I just have to correct around the worklights with full blue gels.
