discussion How do you illuminate you work station?

[Vaughan]

Following on from how messy is your workstation?. I'm using two magnifying lamps one of which I picked up yesterday. Obviously you need as much light as possible, so how do you solve this problem.

I have an old architect with two daylight florescent tubes. Gives plenty of light.

A magnifying light athough it is rare to use the magnifier. I use the spec optics things.

Plus two lamps, swivel type adjustable in any direction,from B & Q which give the equivalent of 60 watts each. One of these I swing around to light up the spray booth.

This altogether with two general fluorescent lighting the garage.

I have a magnifier with a daylight bulb in it. Also the room lights add a little light to it

Mainly daylight,you can't beat it. When the sun is unavailable I have a couple of 60W lamps. I rarely paint by these though I do construct.

I do my work up in the loft and have a skylight/window and also an 8ft striplight above my head and a magnifier with a 60w bulb

I use a magnifyer lamp I got from Hobbycraft for £15 introdyctory offer. It was so good I went back for another and found they were now £35! I only occasionally use the magnifyer though.

I build in the conservatory so loads of lovely daylight in the daytime, Magnifier with white tube + normal room lighting at night

I try to do my painting during daylight hours if at all possible
