b. The connector strips and outlets must be arranged to provide enough

electrical power to handle the illumination necessary for good color

reproduction. A typical layout provides more than the recommended 80 to 100

watts per square foot of power for color television.

But not all of the

outlets are operated at their full rated output, and some are not used at

all.

Also, some outlets should be provided in the overhead fixtures and

along the walls to handle special lighting fixtures.

LIGHTING A STUDIO

1.

Characteristics: It is known that spectral characteristics of light

source should be compatible with those of the camera pickup tube used, and

be suited to the production requirements.
