As a sometimes lighting guy, I like the fact that LED fixtures are
lightweight, cool, and don't require stupid amounts of power. As a
photographer, I hate when a stage is lit by LED since the color is so pure
and narrow-spectrum, there's very little detail you can pull out by
desaturating one color. Pull it out, everything goes away.
