fraggle42 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 After reading the "damn you, reflections" and strongly agreeing as they're a complete pain in the ...! I decided to get some small daylight lights for my little light box tent thingy.Browsing round eBay and reading up a bit they recommended having lights for all three sides and the top. I could find pairs of lights onna tripod, pairs of lights onna tripod & fully enclosed tent for not much more. Lots of different types of lights, a few LED ones (and I know cheap LED lights are bad for photography).So in the end I decided to get a 90cm tent & two lights plus another two lights for the back and top.Delivered yesterday and unpacked and put together last night.I think I may have made a mistake judging the sizes The bulbs alone are 10cm dia by 25cm long. I can camp inside the tent it's that big!! (Well, almost, it looks a heck of a lot bigger than 90cm square!)So the plan of where I was going to keep it has been thrown out the window, and I've decided to convert one of the spare bedrooms into a photo studio. Just need to find a 1.5m x 2.5m solid table to put this lot on!Each light is 135W, 5500k daylight, and they're damn bright and a very nice light. The daily watch pic of the Rodina was taken using the light from one and it bought out the correct colours nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Sounds like a serious piece of kit. Look forward to seeing it, and the results it gives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Shopping for a new table to use it on on Saturday!Might have a look in furniture clearance places, as I'm not bothered about some scuffs or peeling varnish on the table!

fraggle42 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I did have some pictures of it all set up on my phone but can't find them anywhere now. I think I've just discovered the down side of synching all your pictures to your phone and then trying to find a couple amongst 15000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
