Re: Projector lights as studio light source?

[graywolf]

With a zoom lens they make a pretty good focusing spotlight. In fact they were 
sometimes used for those shots where the is a bright circle on the darker 
backgroud that your used to see in advertising shots.

Hi all,

As mentioned in another thread I am about to try to set up a small kind of home studio.
Cleaning the garage today I found two old slide projectors that I haven't used for 
many, many years (hardly at all in fact). One is a Leitz Pradovit, the other maybe an 
Agfa.
Has anyone found any meaningful use for slide projector lights in a studio?
(The lights are strong (the Leitz one slightly yellowish), however I have no idea what temperature (Kelvin) they are or how films or a digital sensor perceives them.)

Thanks,
Lasse
