Photoflood
Bright tungsten filament bulb used as an artificial light source. The bulb is over -run and so has a short life.

PHOTOFLOOD LAMP is an incandescent light source using a tungsten filament bulb set in a reflector.
PHOTOGENIC - Being an attractive subject for photography, or looking good in a photograph.

photoflood light
electric incandescent filament lamp that provides a high intensity light source on relatively low current consumption.

Photoflood - artificial light source using a tungsten filament lamp and a dish reflector.
Photogenic drawing - original name given by William Fox Talbot to his earliest method of recording camera images.

Photofloods, a kind of incandescent light source, are of this type. They are inexpensive and easy to use and for this reason we often suggest them to students first getting into studio photography.

4 photoflood (about 1/30 @ 5.6), developed in Pyro/PFdiamlene/Metol/ss developer and enlarged to 16x20 in a diffusion enlarger produce Extalure prints that were essentially grainless while presenting a full tonal range (this was 35mm, remember) ...

a 150- watt floodlight at about 2 feet or a photoflood lamp at about 6 feet) for about 20 seconds. The print can be squeegeed or left with the adhering solution on the surface. The colors form during this stage of development.

Both of these films are designed to be used in the yellow-white light of photofloods that are specifically balanced for 3200 degrees. Household lamps may vary slightly from this color temperature, especially if they are old.

Warming filter to increase the color temperature slightly; this can also be used when shooting tungsten type B film (3200 K) with 3400 K photoflood lights. The opposite of 82A.

Similarly, film manufactured to give you accurate colors indoors with tungsten illumination is balanced for 3200? Kelvin. Examples include Fujichrome 64T and Ektachrome 50. These films are designed to be used in the yellow-white light of photofloods ...

Type A film
Colour film balance to produce accurate colour renditions when the light source that illuminates the scene, has a colour temperature of about 3400K as does a photoflood.

Color film that has been balanced to produce colors that look natural when exposed in tungsten light, specifically light of 3200 K color temperature. Type A tungsten film has a slightly different balance for use with photoflood bulbs of 3400 K color ...

Tungsten lamps. Lamps that generate light when electric current is passed through a fine tungsten wire. Household lamps, photofloods, studio lamps, etc. are all of this type.

Measured in terms of 'degrees Kelvin', daylight (mid-day) is approximately 5600-degrees Kelvin, a candle is approximately 800-degrees, an incandescent lamp is approximately 2800-degrees, a photoflood lamp is 3200 - 3400-degrees, ...

Certain types of lights, such as reflector photoflood lamps, have built-in reflectors. By use of the correct reflectors with artificial light sources, exposure times can be shortened.
