Trucks all loaded and the show run is complete. Aching and slightly exhausted, but had a great time working with colleagues that are such good friends that it doesn't feel like work.
Now to have a shower, get some sleep, finish packing my stuff, and then get a train back to Gotham City (Glasgow) tomorrow.

The video recording was done by an independent company and then edited by the BBC. I think some of the long shots may have been from a camera drone.
We have a LOT of LED wash lights in the castle to light it as a backdrop to the show. It also integrates with the projection.

I watched the BBC coverage on TV and it looked very good from a presentation perspective. Especially from the high angles the camera was positioned for the longshots. Castle is a really good setting - and the use of colours to floodlight it with.

I guess it would depend on the phosphor or something like that as far as color temp.

Nice job brother! Thanks Big Clive. I wonder what the wattage is of those induction lights is. Here in the US, I found one at a used store that's about 100 watts @ 110 VAC. It was in a sort of High Bay enclosure.
Seems pretty bright but compared to some of the LEDs I've bought since, it's just different.
Originally I was thinking about various lighting sources to grow plants. The Induction light was a bit different in that the light was nicely diffused and over a wider area than the 4200K (+supplemental red and blue or purple) LEDs in the given area.
I found that getting a meter that would actually give the readout on wavelengths was cost probative.
It was all guess work and an experiment for sure though I really didn't come to much in the way of conclusions. The tomatoes grew sort of until I got them out into the sunlight.
My found induction lamp is round.

Awesome work, guys and gals! I need to find me a job that I enjoy. The people are decent enough, but working remotely at a job I no longer look forward to in the least is draining.
