Subject: [STMFC] Re: The best lighting for kit-building.


I used to host a small group of modelers to meet at my shop, go out
to dinner, then come back to build our own models at "work stations"
around the room. One of them brought his own Ott light in a briefcase
and set it up for himself. I believe these are available commercially
and the bulb itself from Champ Decals.

A continuing problem that increasingly plagues my modeling is

poor

lighting- lighting that no matter how bright creates blinding

shadows

and stark contrasts that commonly stretches 5 minute tasks into
maddening and quite tedious marathons.

I ask the good kit builders on this list what ideal portable
shadowless lighting, or lighting arrangements that they are

ideal for their kit building work stations? Keep in mind that

older

to light level changes very well.
