Using an array of RGB LEDs, you can adjust the colour mix by changing the individual flash duration of each colour.

In figuring the somewhat restricted response of original film, exposed to full-spectrum natural & incandescent light (even throughout post-production), is the information loss appreciable due to the spiked spectrums of the R-G-B LEDs? Wouldn’t using some wider spectrum source (like incandescent, or white LED [if truly full spectrum]) produce a superior capture, for now and the future?

(It’s akin to the slices of music on music CDs, replacing analog’s continuous sound. People can really hear the difference. Yes, it’s digital and it may sound great, but it still is damaged by gaps in the audio spectrum. (Note the “comeback” of vinyl LPs.)

Just wondering …
