Fine Art Lamps Lighting

Posted on March 20, 2010.
Fine Art Lamps LightingWhat studio lighting lamps and bulbs of art that you recommend?

My favorite is the source of light of a fluorescent lamp Dazor decades-old, incredibly well built combo / filament (cold / hot) the development of the lamp. It clips to my work surface and the quality of the light was perfect for painting table. Unfortunately, it can be almost the end of its useful life.

I want to replace it with two lamps independently, one on each side of my table. I could then travel to receive my table-top easels and autonomous.

The "ideal" description of the lamp independently is:
1. The cable of the lamp must be at the base of the lamp, he can not hang the reflector. (I have a Testrite Artist Studio Light and the cord hanging from the wall and reflector is still making my way [similar to http://www.utrechtart.com/dsp_view_produ ... ].)
2. The lamp should be sturdy, light and tolerate being moved.
3. The height of the lamp should be adjustable to 6 '+ / -. (I considered Ottlite, but not telescope and it is not bright enough for my taste. If adjusted upward by 6 'and has been brilliant, it would be acceptable.)
4. The lamp socket / reflector should turn easily. (The reflector Testrite Clamp Ball / joint pain is to loosen and pivot.)
5. The lamp filament must accept one day or one / bulb full spectrum lamp incandescent style (eg, 75-watt bulb Northern Chromalux). (I removed halogen - too much heat.)

In addition, no indication of my fellow artists ceiling fluorescent lights for paint and art will be appreciated and taken into consideration.

Thank you for helping us.

There is a time when you might need to compromise between color accuracy and comfort. Many people find that artificial lighting is noted near natural cover (the ideal condition neutral and natural) is too "cold" and "blue" for them. Personally the 5500 Kelvin range has the best of both worlds. It is warm enough that I did not want me working in the garage. ICC ratings are not rigorous so just use them as a reference in bulk. Look for less than 90 and preferably higher. But 93 is not necessarily another mark of 93 but it is reasonable to conclude that they are much better than CRI 60. Basically, you see more colors in the light with the highest CRI Kelvin refers to the warmer (cooler orange / blue).

I use a combination of tubes in the equipment and overhead spotlights with compact fluorescent bulbs in the coil. I also have one of the old school drafting lamp combo and got one of these bulbs in place of incandescent and do not use the ring if I want to light during cleaning, but not painting.

When you set up your lighting make sure your canvas and the palette are the same light conditions. Having trouble mixing values and colors and things to work on the canvas if they are in different light. (Of course, the subject can be in any light, it is). You also want to make sure your canvas is evenly lit. A single lamp will not do. A board will be lighter than the other and this will affect the result. These lamps bridge must be avoided for this reason.

A good source of fluorescent light bulbs Full Spectrum Solutions is BlueMax.

The GE "Daylight" tubes sold at Home Depot are appropriate and practical for many people, but the bulbs sold compact coil no. It is worth ordering if necessary.

If you are looking for appliances, everything works for overheads, but make sure you get the electronic ballast.
