Paul,

Video and camcorder users need small floods and spots with 
continuous output. It looks like they embrace LED lighting 
faster, armatures that have all LED types included like Red, 
Green, Blue, Amber, White, etc to get more full spectrum. I 
have not seen a spectral curve yet nor a decent CRI quote 
for them. I suspect still an (expensive) compromise on color 
quality.
