what is the different of Electric color & student color? Can I use them in the same way?

"Electric" colors are neon colors. I believe the student colors are the basic (red, yellow, blue, green, black) colors.

Yes you can use them the same way. They are more vibrant in color. But you can also use a very small amount and make the same color more of a pastal color. I love working with them.

I use the color checker for everything from macro ring lights. Studio lighting, etc and combinations of any two sources. There's no way of knowing accurate colors otherwise. I see huge differences - to me.

Not sure exactly what you're asking. As far as I know the lights can't be independent, because that would eliminate the point of the varying "levels" you get with the colors.

You probably can't. They have three models: white, blue, and blue/red. I've seen the comment as well but my keyboard is only blue. Probably just a mix-up that's easily understood since there doesn't seem to be a part number on the keyboard and they look identical.

This model has multiple colors you can select. you can even make your own colors with the RGB settings and have different colors for day- and nighttime with the dimmer function. I just installed mine today and it works amazing!

YIKES! I planned to get some color...only for the fun. I'll have to go in person and check the keyboards (black VS color). Thanks for this good info.

This is the deep and meaningful subject of color management. Basically you need to be aware that all devices do their best to produce consistent colors but all of them have slight differences (mostly unavoidable). Color management is a process that attempts to deal with this. Input devices like cameras and scanners are profiled, imaging software can use that profile to convert it to an independant "color space", and then can convert the colors to profiled output devices so the output is as close as possible to the desired colors. The most common devices in use by most photographers are: - Digital camera...often using white balance instead of a profile (your D200 is like that...I use one too) - Monitor...these can be VERY different (just visit your local TV store...all the models will have subtle differences) - Printer...being subtractive rather than additive color these require a lot of conversion and the profiles are different for each paper on each printer and will change when you renew your ink. Most people accept an averaged profile from the paper manufacturer for the specific printer model they are using. For monitor and printer the only true way to assess the profile is a hardware device (spectracolorimeter) that actually outputs test colors and measures the color. These are very affordable for monitors and HIGHLY recommended (I use a Huey, the Spyder is another example). Mine is hooked up all the time and adusts the profile every couple of minutes to allow for the changing color of ambient light. The printer equivelant is expensive so several alternative approaches have emerged...all using test cards/prints of some type. If you want one of the best solutions at the moment look at PrintFIX Pro...the suite comes with the Spyder included. NOTE: They quite literally write books about this stuff...so expect to invest a little effort to get your head around it. It can be confusing at first (and later too actually...but it is worth it if you want consistent color prints).

no, you can not mix match them. and i am fine with the black and yellow ones. but the blue one is not working. I think the quality is not very good.

I think you can use it WW I believe just refers to "warm white" as opposed to "white" which is more bluish .... hook the 5 leads up normally R,G,B, +5 and W and you can control infinite RGB colors or have the plane Warm White on only. What you cannot do is to have the RGB AND the Warm White on at the same time.

Not really. Though I haven't used this product yet, all the instructions give are these 'hints': Blue+Red=Purple; Red+Yellow=Orange; Blue+Yellow=Green. But this is basic color theory that you can find on-line or in any elementary painting book (e.g. watercolor). Blue, Red and Yellow are the 'primary' colors; purple, orange and green 'secondary' (derived from the primaries). If you mix all 3 primaries you will be introducing black and brown hues and this will dull or 'muddy' your resulting color, but you can use unequal amounts of any two. Black and brown are also in the kit for a total of 5 hues. (Just FYI: actual color products are not 100% the pure theoretical primaries; e.g. maybe the blue is slightly greenish (implying a small amount of yellow) so if you mix this blue with a red, you will have all three primaries present -- to a small extent-- creating a duller purple than you would hope. Again, I have no experience to date with mixing the packets in this kit.) Good luck.

Never use an electric sharpener, as it can break the color stick inside the pencil and every time you try to sharpen it, you will lose more. I found videos on line that recommend either using a hand held pencil sharpener or a very sharp knife to peel off wood around the color stick, thereby saving as much f the color as possible. If I accidentally break off a piece of the color stick, I have small containers to save it in. Just add a little water and you have paint to use!

If you are that concerned about the CRI (Color Rendering Index) of these buy one and test it. Personally once I have my lighting set, I set the white balance in camera and tweak in post. Typically it is a very minor tweak if any. So far I have not noticed any shift in color from one lamp to the next - I have 4 of them-. If and when color is that critical use a color chart, there again as everyone's (your audience's) TV/Monitor/Screen is going to be an uncontrollable variable, in terms of color output... Add to that, the TLCI is more relevant for video. If you are transferring your video to film then the CRI has more relevance due to the nature of the film's emulsion, which in itself is a variable as one batch of film will vary from the one before or after just as the imaging chip of one camera can and will vary to the next. Lastly most color correction software can combat -with a little work- the effects of a cross-curve. If you want inexpensive lights that work get these, if you want perfectly clean color from your lights then you will have to pay a lot more.

You can choose which colors you want the lights to be by pushing a button, white is one of the options. You can also choose to have them flash between the different colors.

Each setting can be used depending on the color/combination you want. The manual shows the settings.

Yes u can use both. The effect is a plus. using both has little light effect of the pictures under the sun. I am using them and the picture quality is amazing.

No, there are different coloured light versions each is only a single colour.

They have a website and it gives you directions on how to mix the colours. I found after looking that up it was a bit trial and error. Make sure you buy enough product. I didn't!! Hope that helps.
