[QUOTE="STM, post: 126557, member: 12827"] The quickest way to tell how much contribution the room lights will have is to use your flashmeter and determine the exposure you would have with just your room lights. If that contribution is at least 2 stops below what you have for your strobes you should be fine. One thing you need to be aware of is possible color contamination. Your strobes are most likely 5000 - 5500 degrees Kelvin. Tungsten, fluroescent, etc, even if their contribution is small to the overall exposure, can still taint the overall color temperature of the image and sometimes it can be a pain to remove it without throwing the colors of everything off at the same time.
