Workbench lights.

Post by Sussexguy »

Hi All, can anyone recommend a decent desk top daylight modelling lamp available without selling a kidney.
Cheers

The cheapest way is just buing a strong daylight color bulb, for example (https://uk.daylightcompany.com/bulbs-tubes/bulbs.html)
But most lamp manufacturers make them, a daylight lamp has a colour temperature of 6,500°K.
You can also buy them in tube variant.
I advice to atleast buy a decent sturdy lamp (frame) thats holds position an kan handle being moved a lot.
If you want it on the wal or ceiling that is less important.

Ha, that's weird, I've just ordered one of these. A mate has one and he swears by it. :)

Adding to this... Can anyone recommend a decent daylight 'bulb' for a ceiling light in a model/hobby room? A long lasting one would be good, too. Ta.
