Topic: Lighting?

Hey, yeah, what do you people use for lighting? I have 2 desktop lamps, but that is somehow not enough to cover my whole table (which is about 1.5m x 1m). Basically I am gonna persuade my mum to buy some good lights, so which or what do you recommend?

- I am not spending more than £30
- They have to be good balance
- Also, they shouldn't catch fire easily mini/what

Cheers My Friends!

Two desktop lamps?

That sounds like enough...

What bulbs are they? How do you position them?

So here's the thing, I've A: Lost interest, and B: have no time to animate anymore. Expect little from me in the future. WIP projects have been pretty much abandoned and my LEGO collection is boxed up. No, you can't have it. mini/tongue But do not fear, I may return to it one day.

Re: Lighting?

@Brickyman, er i dunno really what bulb they are. They are slightly oversized reading lamps, i position them directly opposite the set, on the left and on the right.

Re: Lighting?

One thing I know, it can help to tape paper over the lamp so that the light gets spread evenly on your set.  Don't tape it too close to the bulb though.  Don't want a fire.  FYI I use 60wat.
