For decades stage lights were high wattage bulbs with colored gels in front of them. In the last 20 years there have been colored LED lights used on concert stages.
A friend has noticed the same thing that I have. When a club has LED lights it makes it harder to get good photos. At the last show I attended someone else was bringing up the same thing in conversation. Someone I know who does paintings and illustrations has said that LED lighting does not emit light the same way as an incandescent bulb. One explanation was that LEDs are constantly flashing while a filament is consistent. If that is true, then photos under LED lights would occasionally appear dark.
Can anyone explain what is going on with LED stage lighting that makes it harder to get good photos?
