Do your lights in your existing space or around the space or in your building need to be turned off during shooting photo in your 360Booth®?
There are a couple of ways to handle that. First of all, we evaluate your space at no cost. While on site, we will make recommendations on what lights have to be turned off or removed. Usually, we focus strictly on lights above the cloth top. In some cases, you’ll only see that in other people’s booths or studios because they don’t have a cloth top to shield the lights reflecting on the top of the car.
So, to answer your questions, you don’t have to shut them all off. We don’t want you to do that. It’s a hazard with dim lights in working areas, for one, but the ones directly above the cylinder of the studio, yes. We would like those turned off. They’re not the right color temperature, and they will cause issues inside the studio.
FAQ
Do I need to turn off all the lights in my building to use a 360Booth®?
No. 360Booth doesn’t want you to, since dim working areas are a hazard. Only the lights directly above the studio need to be turned off, because their color temperature can cause issues inside the studio.
How does 360Booth know which lights to turn off?
360Booth evaluates your space at no cost and recommends which lights should be turned off or removed, usually just those above the studio’s cloth top.
Why does the 360Booth have a cloth top?
The cloth top shields the vehicle from overhead lights reflecting on its roof.
