I posed all these problems to Neatfi’s friends, who proposed me to try their Neatfi XL: a professional desk lamp with 2200 lumens and 117 LEDs arranged on a 22,83inches lamp. This lamp comes with a stylish clamp that doesn't leave a mark on your furniture, making it a great fit for a wide range of desk types. You'll get 2,200 lumens cast across a wide area for plenty of light while you're working. You can adjust the brightness level to four different settings to fit your needs throughout the day.

A hobby desk lamp should work so well you don’t even need to think about it. When you turn on your Neatfi desk lamp you’ll find a soft light emanating from LEDs (not light bulbs) housed behind a diffuser. The diffuser with the LED configuration provide a cool, natural light that is comfortable to painting miniatures with.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). The Neatfi XL 2,200 has been my go-to lamp for quite some time. I am super fond of it because I have used it for many years. I have an older version known as the Lightcraft LED Pro, but the Neatfi 2,200 was a small iteration of that desk lamp. Now it can be hard to get the 2,200 and the price difference between that and the Neatfi Xl 2,500 Lumens is so small, it is not worth the bother. Just get the Neatfi 2,500. The Neatfi XL 2,500 covers your whole painting station in bright white light, making it much easier to paint details. 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.

If you want to upgrade your miniature painting, the first place I suggest people to start is by getting a good LED desk lamp. Improving your light for painting miniatures and decreasing shadows will have a dramatic effect on how well you can paint but also how enjoyable it is to paint miniatures. Just getting a decent LED desk lamp will really help you out a lot. Full disclosure: Magnifying lamps are not my thing. I have tried and I think it is too much trouble and not worth the hassle.I have one of those lamps with built in magnkfication, but the light itself is warm with is less than ideal. Reply The lamp is truly impressive presence. It is definitely much bigger than what I expected. As I said, it has a good 50 cm of LED lamp, enough to illuminate the entire worktop evenly. It has a color temperature of 5600-6000K with a CRI 80. The lighting itself is important. Look for the number of lumens the lamp emits to see how much lighting you’ll get. 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.

I like the white, because of how clean it looks. The swing arm has a smooth operation and the plastic LED housing feels light but solid. This is a sturdy product. If there was any concern, it might be the springs, which tend to get squeaky over time. At one time, architects spent hours at a drafting table, drawing up blueprints on projects. Technology moved that work to computer software, but the usefulness of architect lamps ensured they remained relevant. Today, architect lamps can be found on desks and other workspaces, providing easy-to-control lighting for a variety of functions. The most notable feature of an architect lamp is its adjustability. It has both a head and arm that swivels, letting you control not only the height but also the direction of the light. They have a lampshade that helps control the direction of the light, and the shade can vary in size. With some architect lamps, the shade is wider, while others keep it more in a circular design.The BenQ e-Reading Lamp is a weird one. I like it for a lot of things, but have ended up not using it much for miniatures. I simply have better options on hand. The BenQ lamp You’ll find that although architect lamps are simple in design, you have a wide range of options in how they look. You can find some with solid finishes and others in brass or silver. You should be able to find the lamp that matches the room in which it will be used. 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. 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.g., squinting, and hard-shadowing. This means that you can spend ages getting the colour just right, but when you look at it in the morning (in sunlight) you will wonder why it now looks different.
