Inside cathedrals in Europe (often very low light)? Operas / concerts typically have a lot of light on the stage. Will these work in low light? ty

No binocular will create light where there is none, but they will magnify what you see, even in low light. Bear in mind that European cathedrals have filtered light, and a lot of play between light and dark, especially if you're looking up. I am very familiar with them, having grown up within 5 minutes' walk of one. These binoculars are really small and light and can be carried in any bag or pocket. They will be great for looking at sculpture details inside and out.

I just tried them out in low light at home - they work great in low light - of course they don't brighten the image, but whatever is there to see, you'll see it bigger and better!

We've used ours at concerts and Cirque Soleil performances and are very pleased with them at those venues. The optics are clear and relatively bright. However, the front oculars are not big so they don't gather much light. We've noticed the brightness is somewhat diminished looking thru the binoculars compared to the naked eye. Your eyes tend to adjust so I would say they would be worth a try using them in Cathedrals. They will not perform like a set of high end binoculars with large diameter, front oculars. But they are such a handy pocket size that we take them places we wouldn't normally lug a large pair of binoculars. Hope this helps.

hi brandon, I am more of a walk around photographer, and find a soft box or studio lights not practical for what I take pictures of. (children on the go mostly). The dome and the snap on diffuser are very similar to me. The dome is a bit more bulky, and both throw almost too much light around the room for me to use most of the time. I feel like they create shadows in small rooms, but when I need to see someone's eyes or they are back lit outside and I want to brighten their face or add a catch light. They fit the bill. better then no flash , or direct flash. Inside they almost are too direct that they still flatten my images. Then I resort to bounce... They have their place.

You can lower them to be pretty direct on what you are doing. To spread the light you can raise it. It's not a room light though. It's more for doing something close up like reading, sewing, crafts, homework and such.

Check out this photo I took this year in Paris, using low light mode. I think is impressive and IS controls help out a lot! https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-jCrhEGtCCKQ/UBdPMbQMzgI/AAAAAAABv6Q/SDUfc6ClpBo/s800/IMG_1850.JPG

Some units have the still setting, the effects are are very good, in zero illumination will be much better. Is a good product for lighting effects.

Yes, but their so low light you wouldn't want them on anything but high. Mines in a touch lamp right now. Kinda annoying, having to touch it three times to get a usable light. I feel like I'm OCD.

I have no idea..........use ours infrequently, mostly outdoor venues after dark.............all light are still functioning. I assume you could just call Chauvet for the answer.

They are not really bright enough for multiple people in a dark setting (like a wedding reception). When I used these for a photo booth application, I also had to have my speedlight flash on the camera - of course the camera was on a tripod to minimize camera shake. If you are using them in a bright space, they should work well. I have successfully used these for photos of couples where you can get the lights real close without worrying about the lights getting in the shot.

Yes! Remarkably well! Of course, pay attention to the "day" "night" "stars", etc settings. For most purposes, you'll want to keep the "low light" setting on.

The bulbs should work fine if not totally enclosed in a fixture. If the are completely enclosed, the will get hot and die. The color of daylight is bright white which should work well for art.

Right. The lamps produce light that is constant. These lights are not triggered by the camera's flags or an IR device.

Mine is installed on a cathedral ceiling. It is bright enough for a family room, but you would have to be near it to read comfortably. I am going to try a bright white or daylight bulb. The soft white bulb along with the frosted globe makes the light too yellow. On a scale of 1 to 10, the brightness is about a 7. That being said, GET THE FAN! You will get more compliments than you can handle! We don't turn it past medium speed because on high it will blow you away!

I have two set up on the stage where I teach Zumba (one on each end of the stage). The room is huge..will hold 200 people seated. The lights project out to cover about 1/2 or a little less of the room. The lights can be set up to pulsate with the beat of the music too f(but they have to be close enough to the speaker to pick up the "pulse" of the music. For the price, they are awesome!

this product work well for low light as long as you position your light correctly. I take photo on a dress form also it should work just fine.

Other than lowering the overall level of light -- which means you'll need brighter light -- the effects will be the same. -Mark Changizi, co-inventor, O2Amp

We've never used ours at an actual concert. However we have used them for observing birds and waterfowl after sunset and also in light fog conditions and they still produced a clear, crisp image. Also they are compact and lightweight so we wouldn't hesitate to take them to a concert if we were going to one.

You will have to try different light etc. I do not know about low light or nights. During daylight it works just fine
