Basically the main heat source is emitting red-orange light and bits of the burning \"stuff\" are popping off and cooling (not going to make blue though) or changing chemical composition (burning through different layers?) to make blue light as they fall. I would think the main burning source would emit much more light than the burning sparks so you should stick to one light source.
Now if you have a roman candle type thing, the main source is just the primer burning and igniting balls of flaming junk which spit out and burn brightly in different colors. So then the blue bits could have more or the same intensity as the main source.
Or are you saying there is a red lamp off to one side and a blue light welding torch on the other? Then it might make a violet color where they mix.
Not quite sure I understand the question.........but, what I\'m doing is having the tall torch be one lightsource, the red ball thing be another and what I call the secoundary light source (ambient light - moon light) be the third. It\'s kink of garish but I like how colorful it\'s comming out. Plus it was a bit of a challange, it\'s a WIP right now. I cant explain the physics of how light works and what I do may not be technically correct but it usually works and comes out looking good.
