<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2422763, member: 19463"]The last coin show I attended had particularly bad lighting. Some sellers had little lights on their tables but moving them to control glare would ruin them for other customers so I decided to try to make something that might improve the situation before my next show in September. This shows my first effort. The base is heavy enough that it is stable even without a box of coins on it. I want something smaller and have found a smaller light but its rated life on a battery is not good. The one shown here came from Costco and uses three AAA batteries lighting six bright LED's. The flash used to make the photo overpowers the LED's but the image may give the idea. This works well on my desk but I'm working on an idea that will be better for shows. I generally go through a dozen boxes like the one shown or double wide ones so the design assumes sellers using that type box. Ideas???</p><p>[ATTACH=full]502282[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
