I haven't found a way to get the same quality of light without that, though, so I simply deal with it. Somehow affixing a pair of them over my shoulders would be fantastic, but it's simply not practical.

The point is this - don't go buying new lamps until you've considered a few potential arrangements, as a change of bulb and position might serve you better. Another cheap-o lamp, for example, would let you light from both sides, allowing you to move them out of your face, a bit. I know there are some fancy combo magnifiers and ring-lights for modelers, but 98% of us don't need more than a good bulb in one or two lamps.

TLDR: Move the lamp away from your face. If it's not bright enough, get a brighter bulb, then a second lamp, if necessary.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385015/3107971.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385015/3107971.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385015/3108012.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385015/3108012.page GMT
On another note I second the daylight bulb, it's the old fashion kind and tinted blue. I use a 60 watt daylight bulb and I only need to have it sitting over my head with no need for it to be near my face.

-edit- Oh, and if your lamp is only rated for 28 watts, then you may want to upgrade to a (cheap) goose-neck lamp that takes a more powerful bulb.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385015/3108104.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385015/3108104.page GMT is possible to have more light with less heat. I will be picking up a replacement bulb on Monday.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385015/3108479.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/385015/3108479.page GMT
