Does more light always mean more heat?

I’m trying to illuminate an extremely small dark space, but bringing my lights closer to the subject risks damaging what I’m photographing. (Using Apunture 600d LEDs with Fresnel heads).

I’d like to stick with continuous light if possible, since I’m also pixel-shifting for resolution in this series.

    Good idea. I’m going to look at this. There might be issues with parallax if I’m moving the lens position, but if I attach it to an astro head and program it to move in the sub-pixel range that might work. Also just the variation in the strobe output may be enough . If nothing else I’ll at least get noise reduction from the stacking.

    I’m also doing heavy focus stacking in this series, so adding out-of-camera pixel-shifting will increase the image count to a few thousand per shoot… But I’m getting used to dealing with that quantity of data!
