About this deal

I can already tell that the Neatfi light will last me years and years from its mostly metal construction. The LEDs are rated for up to 100,000 hours of use, and will never get hot. The 3-yr warranty is a nice touch but I doubt will be needed. You can see a bunch of them at the tables of pro painters if you go to miniature painting contests or look at images from the ( you can see some of them at the Golden Demon 2022 here)

As useful as it may be to be able to adjust your lamp, if it continues to move around after you’ve positioned it, it will become a huge distraction. Your lamp should have the flexibility to be movable while also holding its position once you’ve put it in place. If you go with LED you will get all that and you will also not have bulbs that produce heat (not great when you want to thin that paint!). Thank the maker for LED light. The Lightcraft Pro LED side by side with a lamp that produces a too warm and yellow tinge for painting miniatures and warhammer Another great mobile lamp is the OttLite LED Mobile Task Lamp, which can be battery powered. if you go to conventions for painting miniatures, that might be a better option. Consider where the power switch is on the lamp you choose. One with a light switch that’s easy to access will keep you from having to fumble around for it after putting in hours of work.The flexible swing-arm of the Neatfi lamp help keep the light stay over (or under) where I need it. Sometimes you may need to tilt the light to see the underside of a model. The lamp can do that and stay positioned while you work. The metal arm and wide shade combine to spread that diffuse light over a wide area. For some reason, lightbulbs will pop from time to time ( it is like we lost the technology to make them last…). I would like as few obstacles to painting my minis, so something that is durable and does not require new lightbulbs is very good. Today’s architect lamps often attach to your desk or table using a clamp rather than having a base they set on. This keeps your workspace clear for you to spread your work out, while also giving you the freedom to place it where you want it. This clamp is typically the same color as the rest of the lamp to make sure it better blends with the surrounding décor. Preferably you want no shadows from outside objects on your model while painting. To reduce this you will needbig coverage of bright light and getting something that sits above your paint station instead of being on the side of it (so you avoid casting shadows on the mini with your hands, brush and so on).

You can easily find an architect lamp with simple assembly. In most cases, you’ll merely need to attach the head and clamp, then insert a lightbulb. The best light for painting miniatures will be light in the color range of about 5000. This produces a good natural white light that will reflect how the miniature will look in normal daylight. A CRI of 80 is normal, but not really that great. You need to get up in the 95+ range for this to be fun. 2. The light needs to decrease the amount of shadow on your miniature The LED housing swivels on a multi position head joint that is sturdy and won’t move around, even when you’re pressing the power button to turn the light on or off; or simply to change the brightness level.You can read my review for a more in-depth look, but this lamp is made to convey the actual colours on your paint palette with good color temperature. Other lamps do not take this much care in reproducing the actual colours and it shows when painting. If you are super serious about wet blending and doing fancy contrast, this is a key feature. 3. Can be used in video and photography and does not strain the eyes In recent years, architect lamps have joined other light sources in prioritizing energy efficiency. This is closely linked to the type of lightbulbs they use, and LED tends to be the most popular. Look for the number of burn hours a lightbulb promises, as well as its eco-friendliness. I want to cut right to the chase, I think the Redgrass R9 Desk Lamp is the best lamp for miniatures you can get right now for miniature painting. A few things make this outstanding: 1. It produces bright natural light over a broad area and the light is very flexible

Once opened, the lamp is practically ready for use, just fix the clamp to the work surface and connect the small transformer. As I said, the materials are of high quality and it is immediately perceived because the metal arm is able to lift and move the large lamp as you want, remaining stable and firm in the decided position. The lamp Although all architect lamps are more flexible than standard lamps, some feature more swivel than others. Look for one with a wide range on the head, as well as adjustability in the arm. Another important feature of architect lamps is their burning time. While all lamps are built to burn for hours, architect lamps were traditionally built with the understanding that they need to be able to comfortably burn for hours at a time. For that reason, you’ll find the materials are more durable than you might typically find with a lamp. Another important thing is not having unnecessary electrical parts for the desk lamp. Why have an on / off switch that breaks long before other parts of the lamp? Quality and durability thank you! Without good light you can’t see anything, properly. When it comes to focusing on what’s important, placing emphasis on good light is the key to enjoying whatever activity you’re doing.While I find the R9 amazing and the best miniature painting desk lamp, it might not be for everyone. If you are looking for something even more affordable than our budget option way more mobile, the Uberlight Flex might be the one for you. The lighting itself is important. Look for the number of lumens the lamp emits to see how much lighting you’ll get. Because of the LED lights technology, the lamp produces no heat and no weird buzzing sound (my last lamp drove me insane). Also, you will likely stop painting before any of the LED lights break. Well designed R9! 5. Flexible setup and well designed

Ever find yourself fiddling around with the models, trying to get the spot you are painting into the perfect light? This is because the position of your lamp and your hands are causing shadows to fall on your miniature. While I won’t say that the lamp has a long arm, the reach of the metal swing arm is long enough to cast useful light across your entire desk. The best part about this lamp, in my opinion, is that it is so simple to use and have around when you need it. Will the lamp last me a long time? Value?Let us look a bit at what a good lamp for painting minis actually needs to do. 1. The colour of the white light needs to show the actual colours of the model (it should throw a white light in the Kelvin 5000 range with good CRI)
