<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 567770, member: 4230&quot;]I have 3 100 watt lightbuls in an triangular pattern about 6 inches from a center point. The in the middle, between the lights and the object i am taking images from, i have a trianlge of flexiglass, coated with translucient contact paper, and white cloth. The combination helps defract the light, but still flood the interior with light, all with &#039;day light&#039; light bulbs...</p><p><br /></p><p>i posted a thread at one point when i was building it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> if you do a search you can find what it looks like as it was being built... but here are those pics..</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.daggarjon.com/cointalk_photos/Lightbox 1.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.daggarjon.com/cointalk_photos/Lightbox 2.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>and here are images of the box being done...</p><p><img src="http://www.daggarjon.com/cointalk_photos/lightbox done 1.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.daggarjon.com/cointalk_photos/lightbox done 2.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.daggarjon.com/cointalk_photos/lightbox done 3.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It doesnt look like much, but i get more then enough light then i need, and it provides light from all angles to prevent too many dark spots. When there is a coin where the edge design is alot higher then the interior, the inside can get dark spots... to prevent this i have a desk lamp outfitted with &#039;day light&#039; light bulbs as well, then i can use that to come in from the top to light the interior of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>the most important thing i found was that i couldnt use direct light. it bleached the coin with hot spots. I had to diffuse the light, and diffuse it good. 1 person suggested i use a mild carton to diffuse the light. I never tried it, but i can imagine it would work well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
