Hi all.

I am after a talll standing daylight lamp as my little normal one is not very great for looking at small details at night.

I have seen some magnifying lamps that look good from the picture but i am not sure though.
And i would like it so the light is over the top on the model so it has to be tall.

Maybe this one

I can spend upto £30 if that be enough to get good one.

Thanks for any help you can give me

Instead of lamps, try looking for bulbs that fit in cheap lamps.
I looked into this a bit a while ago, but didn't commit.

Thanks.

I do some cheap lamps now but they are on the small size though so just thinking if it is worth getting a proper daylight lamp that is taller.
So that it sits over the model when i am painting and not from the side like it is now.

Try an Ott Light. They have several models with adjustable sizes.

Thanks i will have look around in a min

I used to use a standard desk lamp, but as perviously hinted at , its the bulb that matters.
I would recomment a natural daylight bulb.
