Desk lighting - Suggestions
« on: 11 May 2021, 07:54:06 PM »
Having just bought an optivisor, I realise that the lighting for my painting desk needs improvement.  My old lamp had a magnifying lens byuilt in but it doesn't now provide the light I need.  Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have a ring light with LEDs and a magnifying glass. I also have a standard Ikea anglepoise with an LED bulb.

You can also replace your standard bulbs with daylight LEDs and they give good light where you need it.

After doing a bit of googling I splashed out on a Neatfi Task Lamp - expensive but IMO well worth it.

I recently bought a Neatfi lamp.  As you say expensive, but I'm finding it worth it.
