@Will
White LEDs have a strange colour spectrum – they’re not particularly flattering on skin, so I tend to avoid them. For a neutral colour balance you’re far better using an regular bulb and setting an incandescent colour balance.

Your mileage may vary of course, so experimentation is key.

@Alex
The wire is electroluminescent and does need a power supply – but you can power it from a battery powered inverter. I get mine here:

Keep the ISO low (100), open the shutter for the length of the movement and control the exposure by varying the aperture and the speed of the motion.

@dennis I always use a fixed white balance, usually daylight, but that depends on what camera I'm using and what colour the light is.

Can any one tell me the Negative and Positive for using LED or normal globe Maglights?
I know they give off a different color but are leds worse for painting a subject?

Dear Dave,
First off i just want to compliment you on your shots. I’m currently working on an art project o be exhibited at a local store for an art festival and most of my shots have no theme so i wanted to start a project with all related pictures and decided on capturing motion with long exposure and light and came across your site. I just have a question about the wire used here. Does it need to remain plugged in and where did you get yours? Also, any tips you have for shooting (ISO etc.) would be awesome considering I’m amateur to the extreme haha. Sorry for the book os a post for 3 questions but any help would be awesome. Alex.
