I have reached a point of frustration I hope to get some ideas and help. My arch enemy "Lighting". I need a bright moveable light. Before I chuck out the money I was hoping to get suggestions. When I paint my figures I'm constantly adjusting my lamp. It is small but after several cheap office lamps I found this least annoying but not by much.

OttLite might help. Those are daylight full spectrum lights many modelers use ...

I used to paint under a bright shoplight - two flourescent bulbs (bluis tinge)...it gave PLENTY of light, but the colors were best checked under incandescent light (yeloowish/orange tinge)...my setup now is a room light with one of those accursed "Green" flourescent replacement bulbs, supplemented by a 'gooseneck hobby light with a 75 watt "Reveal" incandescent bulb by GE...they are balanced to resemble daylight - I use these for the 'close work. If you can find the Reveal in your neck of the woods I'd suggest giving one a try - then buy as many as you can afford - before the meddlesome "Greenie whackos" ban them.

I will give it another try on the "Reveal" bulbs. After getting a new lamp the one I have is a 60 watt and anything brighter gets real hot. It comes down to buying a new lamp with a longer neck.

Thanks for the outline of your set up, that rely did help!

I use two LED lamps from Ikea. They give a nice colored light that is easily moved to where I need light. search ikeas website for JANSJÖ. Perfect light for small work.

They also give nice light for taking pictures. I "need" two more of these lights to make a complete photobooth on my desktop. Ikea next...
