Looking For Hobby Lamp Painting Light

[Belgian]

Looking for a good hobby lamp for painting miniatures, will be used at my desk so no need to be light or portable. Any pointers?

I have had good results with a LED strip strung over my working place. 180 degrees diffuse lighting on your project shows up all the nooks and crannies.

Philips Eyecare range. I've got a "robot" not very light but great quality

I've been looking around for an upgrade lately. I've more or less settled on two Unilux Mambo lamps - I find 3000 Kelvin a nice, balanced light temperature - not as warm as old bulbs, and not as sterile/blue as most led work lights. 460 Lumen cover my needs quite well. It's important to me that the armature can be bent around and manouvered. I'm getting two of them primarily for photographing my minis. And the Mambos look like the cheapest option that covers those bases.

So, not necessarily a specific recommandation for that lamp, but rather some thoughts on what to think about. Best of luck!

Bloodsbane is pointing you down the right path.  Think about the light's color rendering and temperature (and cost and life span of the light source, too).  Personally, if I was going for the best situation, I'd seek to recreate 'daylight' to the highest degree possible.  Biggest challenge with that is that we normally use our minis indoors.  I'd still travel that path.  However, I currently have a mix of two small fluorescents and an incandescent - the latter gives enough heat to quick dry colors when needed (I use acrylics exclusively).

One day I'll adjust to the 'ideal'.

I've got an anglepoise lamp screwed to the top of my painting desk, with a daylight bulb (used to be incandescent, but is now an LED daylight bulb).
Works really well, and can be moved as required to give you light form just the right angle.

I got a daylight craft lamp from Lidl.
Bargain at under £15 and brilliant - clear white "daylight" illumination from the LEDs.

The challenge is they're not available all year round. I think I got mine in October last year.
Things *seem* to come and go on an annual rotation, so you may have to wait a few months.

I keep checking when I do the weekly shop as I want a second one for illuminating my light box.

Not my blog, but this is the one I've got:
