I guess nobody was impressed by 4 blue horrors yesterday.
I now have 10 blue horrors and 10 pairs of brimstone horrors.
I have a second box, so I will probably build another unit this week.
On a side note, I need to get a new painting light. I'm thinking about Red grass R9, Game Envy Lucent or Neatfi XL. The spotlight I have on the wall is creating a very strong shadow.
If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.
So after doing more research into all of this, I'm striking out the R9. With the $30 shipping fees to Japan, and potential customs, it's too expensive.
I found a nice architect/artist lamp by a Japanese manufacturer (Z light by Yamada Shomei) with same performance as the R9, and priced similarly to the Neatfi.
The Lucent has $40 shipping fees, so at $125, it's still slightly cheaper than the Z light.
The Z light is more sturdy, but the Lucent has more freedom of movements and less shadows.
@MiLk I'm impressed
@MiLk Family gifted me a Lucent for the holidays. I've enjoyed it a lot.
Joints are all plastic so there may be more sturdy alternatives out there but I haven't had any problems.
@MiLk I have an R9 and it’s uncanny. There were times during winter where I thought summer sunlight was beaming in through a window somehow, then remembered I’d left that light on.
@dmcgk By now, I've read a lot of reviews about the R9, and while I'm convinced it's an excellent product, I'm trying to figure out if the price is reasonnable for my usage.
@MiLk Yeah, I was going to say that the price is the only downside!
@MiLk I've had a Neatfi XL (the 2500 lumen one) for 18 months and been pretty happy with it. The articulated arm seems well engineered and the desk clamp is a solid lump of metal (I've dropped it a couple of times and it's the floor that dented). I'm not an expert on lighting, but the colour seems consistent and a good balance for me, and plenty bright enough. No LEDs have failed/dimmed yet. My only complaint would be that the plastic rim around the edge of the light comes loose too easily.
