<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7763166, member: 105098&quot;]I know the photographers are going to have all kinds of gadgets for lighting.</p><p>My personal opinion, a Dimmable LED desk lamp that is positionable with a swing arm.</p><p><br /></p><p>6000K color in my opinion. if you go lower it will be more yellow, if you go higher it will be more blue. I think the Kelvin or color of light, is the most important factor when choosing LEDs.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I&#039;d personally go for 1100 lumens max output which is about an 80 watt equivalent to incandescent as far as the amount of light. Since it&#039;s dimmable you can always tome it down. if you want you can even go to 1600 lumens and tone down from there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d use this type of light for photos and for grading really since incandescent isn&#039;t an option anymore. A nicely broken in 100 watt clear incadescent bulb is really hard to beat besides a new 75 watt clear, but they do run hot and they do burn out, and they ain&#039;t cheap anymore if you can still find them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll say most people hate one type of bulb or another, but MOST of that has to do with the Kelvin or color of the light, or the CRI (color rendering index) of the early days which has improved vastly in Halogen or LED since 20 years+ ago. Avoid any light that doesn&#039;t make the information available, Lumen, Kelvin or &quot;K&quot;, and hopefully the CRI.&nbsp; 80-90 CRI is acceptable and good, 90+ is really good color rendering to the true color of objects.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know about this one personally I&#039;m still on the fence about it, but I&#039;ve had my eye on it. I don&#039;t like the bar format of it, it&#039;s going to be hard to filter if I wanted to filter the light, but what I do like is it has&nbsp; a manual adjust of brightness and color temp with a decent CRI.</p><p>Another negative is it&#039;s a little low on Lumens, comes in at about 880L, that&#039;s like 60 Watt incandescent bulb. One more negative it stops at 6000K so it doesn&#039;t get into the blue spectrum of light which you might want for some reason along the way.</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/HaFundy-Adjustable-Eye-Caring-Brightness-Function/dp/B08KY2KVWW/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Lumens+Lamp&amp;qid=1626183579&amp;refinements=p_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A5571382011%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A5676449011&amp;rnid=5699945011&amp;s=lamps-light&amp;sr=1-18" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/HaFundy-Adjustable-Eye-Caring-Brightness-Function/dp/B08KY2KVWW/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Lumens+Lamp&amp;qid=1626183579&amp;refinements=p_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A5571382011%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A5676449011&amp;rnid=5699945011&amp;s=lamps-light&amp;sr=1-18" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/HaFundy-Adjustable-Eye-Caring-Brightness-Function/dp/B08KY2KVWW/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Lumens+Lamp&amp;qid=1626183579&amp;refinements=p_n_feature_two_browse-bin:5571382011,p_n_feature_browse-bin:5676449011&amp;rnid=5699945011&amp;s=lamps-light&amp;sr=1-18</a></p><p>However this might perform really well in a shadowbox/photobox..... IF this one functions, without strobing, or flashing or any of the annoyances some dimmable LEDs have and the swing arm stays where you put it.... Still on the fence on it, but it&#039;s cheap.
