[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1391596, member: 30400"]I'm not a fan of OTT lights. I have some, and have experimented with them. But the results, for me, have been washed out and flat. Same for CFL's. I think there are certain applications where they work well. Corner cases. Halogen gives me more consistent results, particularly for copper and gold and toned silver. Highly reflective coins...lustrous and proofs, like diffused lights. They are still the most challenging. Here are a couple of '31's, to stay on topic. Lance.
