Looking for a solution to a fresnel light problem. Due to budget we bought one of these to use on a low budget short film here in the US: Fresnel Tungsten Video Continuous Lighting 2000W as ARRI Pro Video Kit New | eBay
After purchasing we found out at a few of the locations we would not have access to a 220v power source. So my question is what would be brighter or a better solution? To purchase a step-up transformer to use at the 110v locations or buy a 2000w 110v bulb and swap out the 2000w 220v bulb if that is even possible? I've read running a 220v bulb on a 110v power source would make the bulb really dim and also have read using a step-up transformer wouldn't make it much brighter, is this correct? Any other solutions?
I'm no electrical expert so forgive the noob question. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any replies in advance.
