The evolution of LED lighting in cinematography has progressed from a primary focus on red light to tackling the challenges of achieving deep blue and ultraviolet effects for more natural skin tones. While early advancements allowed for effective red light emission, the limitations of conventional LEDs are evident, particularly in their inability to produce deep blue light, which is crucial for accurately illuminating human skin. Tungsten halogen lights continue to be favored for close-ups due to their warm tones and capability to emit a subtle deep blue, enhancing the complexity of skin tones. Recent technological advancements have introduced ultraviolet-emitting LEDs, capable of inducing fluorescence effects in both skin and clothing, but high-power applications remain expensive and limited. The industry is beginning to address these challenges, indicating an ongoing journey toward perfecting LED lighting for cinematic purposes.
