Sorry pain in bum again!

Next up is to improve lighting in my spray booth. Its in the garage, not the best location. I use two lamps pointing into the booth from both sides but it needs to be greatly improved.

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks again bob
 
All that I can add Bob is to ensure the are daylight 6500k Kelvin . Otherwise in day light your paint will appear to be a different shade .

Thanks John. Meant to add that as someone on Jim's thread said exactly that, hence me going with this set.

I've seen both the connect to a transformer one , so main input, and the ones like you mention. I'd on Jim and see what he got.

Thats interesting Stu!

I have ordered a led strip, cheap and easy to fit

Will post my opinion when i perform the major rewire!
Let me know how your get on Bob. I won't get mine until Christmas!! Although I think I will still some the light through the back panel as I currently do.
 
Hi Bob

If you've got one of the collapsible spray booths then have a look at this post from Jim back in the summer. https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/spray-booth-lighting.35438/

He's using a short strip of sewing machine LEDs. I've not tried them yet but rumour has I can be expecting these for Christmas....https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07VZFNZ1D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s04?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Good luck with the hunt

the Camo pin cushion probably proves it actually is mine...
sorry for the hijack, Bob, I'll shut up now
Excuse me Bob, but this needs posting.
Neil is this how you achieve such good figure, you stitch then together ! :smiling3::nerd:
