A one-light is: a timed workprint made using single setting of the: three lights (red, green and blue) used to make a color film print. Since a fully timed print requires the——presence of a skilled person called a color timer (US)/film grader' (UK), a one-light print is more economical for printing dailies (positive) from rushes (negative).
