Post subject:  AlienBees modeling light for filming

I am wondering about the limitation to 150W light bulbs, is it dangerous to use more powerfull light with all reflectors, or only with less open ones, such as softboxes?

I would like to use my lights for filming, and 150W is way to weak, so my question is: would it be possible to put a more powerful light bulb (i.e. 500W) and use modeling light with 11inch sports reflector for filming? I wouldn't use the flash at all when filming, just the modeling light.


Thanks

500W cannot be used in any of our lights, regardless of the type of modifier used, and for the Bees, even a 250W should not be used.
