Light over the lathe - gear jammer - 11-06-2017

I took down the old florescent light and put up a 5500 LED. It certainly brightens up what I'm working on but it changes the appearance of the item also. To harsh. What do you use? Would lower lumens be better.

What is the light spectrum of the LED fixture you chose.

I prefer the daylight 4500k-5000k

+1, the 6000K color is to blue for me.

I like a couple of these: http://amzn.to/2zC7x2c
in clamp fixtures: http://amzn.to/2zrJG4z

So I can move them around as needed.

I use the same bulb.I have an articulating arm lamp that I can move to what ever position I need light.Works great.

The long thin ones or the wide fat ones?


RE: Light over the lathe - Grey Mountain - 11-09-2017

The start out being long and thin, but become short and thin rather rapidly.
