Default I don't think LED is the answer for this one

Swapping 1000W HQI fittings for 240W LEDs.

And any chance it could mess up any filming due to strobe effects?


Isn't the HQI a discharge tube, so no temporal filtering from a
phosphor? In which case they will be similar from a strobing effect.



Depending on the sophistication of the LED driver (and for that matter
the ballast in the HQI fitting). Both could have high frequency drivers.

If anything the LED might provide a more constant colour temperature
over the mains 1/2 cycle.


It will likely be a different emission spectra either way.
