Product Information

Unless you want to use two and spend your time figuring out how to attach light-diffusing sheets to them, a different solution is needed. When painting miniatures late at night, you might want to tone it down a bit and tune the light so it is more yellow (blue light is not great for, you know, sleeping). Ever find yourself fiddling around with the models, trying to get the spot you are painting into the perfect light?

I have also used the task lamp as a photography light for capturing impromptu images of my works-in-progress. You’ll find that although architect lamps are simple in design, you have a wide range of options in how they look.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. Thus preferring a vertical position with respect to the point of interest, both for processing and for filming. If you have a sewing room or craft table, for instance, you may like the fact that you can move the light around as necessary. When you turn on your Neatfi desk lamp you’ll find a soft light emanating from LEDs (not light bulbs) housed behind a diffuser. A big part of this flexibility is also making sure that my desk lamp is not forcing me to sit with my neck in awkward positions.

If you are not lucky enough to have a dedicated fixed painting spot, odds are you need to pack away your painting equipment each time you are done. 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). In all these categories for an ideal desk lamp for miniature painting and model work, the Neatfi XL is amazing. It was inclined with respect to the work surface, creating sharp shadows and difficult to remove as it was fixed to the shelf.

I’ll note there that Neatfi has a slightly narrower lamp for smaller hobby spaces that spaces 20″ instead of the 23″ of the current Neatfi lamp of this review. Sure, a good comfy chair and a well-organized desk space with fancy holders and model paint organizers will go a long way toward your C. You can read my Redgrass R9 Desk Lamp Review to understand more about why it separates itself from the competetion.

This is because the position of your lamp and your hands are causing shadows to fall on your miniature. With 2,200 lumens you will see every detail and get the most accurate representation on what your audience would see when presented to. In fact, inside it has the classic polystyrene casing that guarantees stability and resistance even to the worst shocks. In this article, I show you the lamps I use to paint miniatures and which one I think is the best miniature painting lamp there is right now. It can be powered by a USB plug or power plug, but it is sadly not by battery (which would have made it amazing).If that is not important to you, the Neatfi Xl 2,500 is a true workhorse desk lamp for painting miniatures. Recommended lights for painting accurately have a color temperaturethat falls within the daylight range (5000 – 6500K or Kelvin) and provides sufficient diffuse illumination to prevent eye strain, e. Something to add here is that desk lamps with adjustment on how much bright light it casts is also great. For some reason, lightbulbs will pop from time to time ( it is like we lost the technology to make them last…). It is driving me nuts, I dont want to give up this hobby so looking for a light alternative that works with some magnkfication.

The long arm is made of metal and has solid knots that allow the lamp to remain stable at the point where we decide to place it. This produces a good natural white light that will reflect how the miniature will look in normal daylight. Just looking at these photos you can easily realize how the situation has changed considerably, at least for the ease of directing the light where I want. With this setup the light covers the entirety of my painting station, meaning that I do not have to sit at awkward angles to get the right light. It features an impressive 20” wide shade, multi-position head joint and easily adjustable 32” arms with long reach.

In fact, the main problem of the previous lighting was the static nature of the neon lamp fixed under the shelf. This is one of the reasons for that neck and back spasm you can feel after a long painting session, and getting a lamp that decreases unnatural head movement can really help prolong your painting sessions. In terms of brightness, the Neatfi XL Task Lamp is a 2,200 lumens light, which is equivalent to a 150 watt regular incandescent bulb.
