  • Sure they could, obviously the higher in price the more tanky they get so I’d trust brands in order of pro -> prosumer -> knockoffs like anything else but yeah film sets can stay on for hours on end, sometimes in conditions much less cozy than your kitchen. They’ll typically come with some form of passive or active cooling (fans or mechanical dissipation with radiators).

    I’d steer clear of battery powered models even if most of these can be run with a plug as well just because you’ll pay extra but if you go for tubes or the small panels.

    I’m just now realising your question is whether you could use them in regular fixtures as in screw them in and yes there’s also options for that from a few brands, they can even charge from the power of the light fixture itself, they’re not cheap the ones on my “might buy” list are the godox C7R but you could go for the C10Rs. I don’t see why they’d last any less long than standard LEDs but I might not be aware of it. At that point you’re paying Hue prices though so not sure if they’re the best tools for the job since the daily use aspect of a system like hue is way more adapted for home use.


  • Came here to recommend video lights. There’s some cheap options available these days which will offer you full RGB or Kelvin scale control, flicker free, etc. Check Godox Neewer, Sirui, Smallrig, Amaran for “budget” but still reliable brands, or try your luck on Amazon/AliExpress with no name brands which would probably still do the trick depending what your usage is. You could go for a small tube or panel for example (options are endless).

    Dunno about the US but these pants are all alive and well in Europe, it’s just that the experiences they provide tend to be petty extreme (in the case of datura/belladone for example), and/or too weak or impractical compared to the modern offerings. But yeah any psychonaut worth their salt would at least know about them if not tried some of them.
