Acouple weeks ago I was reading an article about micro/macro photography and they where talking about daylight light bulbs. As I am never pleased with my lighting setup I thought I would try it. After a few trips to different stores and about 4 different lamps and size bulbs I think I came up with something that fits me for the time being. I like the bulbs a lot. I attached a dimmer to one of the lamps so I wont have to diffuse it. Thats the one I take the full coin shots with. The one with the dimmer kept flickering real bad so after some research I bought a LED daylight bulb and that fixed the flickering. I still have to diffuse the one that goes under my scope. Because I am so cheap and still use same setup from when I started I have to modify light under scope. I attached an aluminum wire the electricians left on my job. That works great for me to be able an adjust the light to where I need it under the scope. Looks funny but serves the purpose better than anything I tried. It stays wherever I want it to.
There is no real meaning in this post but I thought I would just pass on my little lighting experiment and show some pics of what I just accomplished. My wife is pretty tired of me coming in the door with new lights and bulbs so she glad I am done. So here is a few pictures of a 1960 ddr that I just took and did do anything to except crop. The other is the NEW and improved light under scope and dimmer.:LOL_Hair: LOL
