The posting was to see if there was any issues with the VirtualVideo Group registering as an IAC member with a geographical presence covering the UK.

While taking a video in a coal mine I used aTriopo LED panel light, due to size and being battery operated, and the resulting footage when played back had a distinct green hue.
