<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 452791, member: 9474&quot;]Whether you are looking for the perfect lighting source to look at your coins at your desk or take pictures of your coins, I think I may have found the perfect lighting source.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In a fit of frustration, I went to Lowe&#039;s to look for new lights for my coin desk.&nbsp; I originally had a 300w halogen that pointed up.&nbsp; Although it did great for illuminating the room, it did not for me while looking down at a coin.&nbsp; I tried several desk lamps with regular bulbs, but those were horrible.&nbsp; The lighting was never good enough to take pics and was usually not good I found at highlighting the whole coin.&nbsp; I usually resorted to taking my pics in the kitchen with two fluorescent lights above.&nbsp; The pics you see in my album were all taken this way.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The lights I found at Lowe&#039;s are manufactured by a company called Tensor - a division of Catalina Lighting.&nbsp; The line that I am looking at is called Vision Max and they are fluorescent lights.&nbsp; They boast Truer colors, brighter and whiter light, clearer, sharper contrast - Experience the Benefits of Natural Light.&nbsp; So far I am not disappointed.&nbsp; I began experimenting with the camera, but probably wont have results until later on this weekend.&nbsp; I still use my halogen light for overall brightness of the room, but the florescent lighting is perfect at my desk for examining coins close up.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>you can find more of there stuff at <a href="http://www.catalinalighting.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.catalinalighting.com" rel="nofollow">www.catalinalighting.com</a>.&nbsp; Looks like they are out of Canada.&nbsp; You could also probably go onto your local Lowe&#039;s web site and see what they have.&nbsp; You will not be disappointed.&nbsp; Thoughts, comments and reviews are welcomed. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
