PeteySödes Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I really like my Ottlight, it’s a standing lamp but I know they make desk models. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356122-lamps/#findComment-5318456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naryn Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Seconding the Ottlite, mine has worked great for I dont even know how long. I see them pretty regularly at hobby stores like Joann's.

Subtle Discord Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I'm fond of the old-school arm lamp with a cool white or daylight bulb. Nothing fancy, but I set up 3-5 of them so I can all but eliminate shadows while I work on something. They're so adjustable that you can get light just were you need it. Look for cheap ones if you need to save on cost or spend more on nicer ones if you want them to last longer.

Bung Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I use a Tri Tube Pro Lamp for diffused daylight imitation for painting. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356122-lamps/#findComment-5318511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imren Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I have one of these over my hobby desk: https://eu.daylightcompany.co.uk/range/professional/luminos-daylight-35600.html I'm very happy with it. It is strong as a surgery lamp, and it emits daylight-like light across the whole workspace. besides full power, it has two more modes were it dims down the output light in case you want to watch a computer screen nearby or so. I'd say this lamp is top notch, functionally and quality, but it costs like a Fellblade.

WarriorFish Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Any kind of daylight bulb will see you right - the rest is how fancy you want to go pretty much I discounted them for ages after speaking to an artist, before trying one by chance and realising that they're plenty good enough for a hobbyist Wish I knew at the time as it makes a big difference to evening painting, so does wonders for your productivity especially if you're limited in when you can find hobby time Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356122-lamps/#findComment-5318652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
