Do you have White Light Diffuser and partial reels of CRI 99 LED Strip for Light Pad Design
I am designing a tiny light pad to rest on a 35mm negative film holder resting on a 35mm camera lens hood. (The camera is facing the ceiling.)
1. Need a neutral white light diffuser that is grainless/textureless/featureless/tintless. Do you offer this?
We, unfortunately, do not offer any light diffusers as a standalone product. The closest option I can think of would be our aluminum channels, which include snap-on diffusers.
2. Don't know how many LEDs the light pad would need, maybe only one, or at what lumen. The negative, in its holder, is 1 inch from the lens. I desire an LED with a CRI of 99 and a similar R9, neutral white, ie, not an off-white with a blue, yellow, or green tinge. (Keep in mind that negatives have an orange tint that I don't want to worsen. Maybe there is an LED that lessens it?)
The best product from a photometric perspective would be our ABSOLUTE SERIES LEDs, which offer 99 CRI and R9 > 90. The D50 / D65 color points should be a great fit for your needs, especially with respect to your concerns about color tint.
3. Then I have a concern that the LED light may damage the camera's CCDs, like when photographing the sun. So, what's the minimum lumen that would reveal all shadows and highlight details in a negative photo?
We, unfortunately, do not have any data on this but believe that with sufficient distance away from the LEDs, damage risks should be minimal.
4. If I don't need a $55 16-foot reel, can I order just one 1.6 inch segment, the connectors and appropriate power supply? If not, please point me to your retailers that do sell a short strip of your CRI 99.
We sincerely apologize, but we are unable to offer partial reels as we are not equipped to manage this from an inventory management as well as quality assurance perspective (LED strip reels are factory-sealed to reduce moisture exposure during warehousing and transit).
Also, we are a direct-to-consumer company and do not work with any retailers.
