Spray booth lighting

[BattleshipBob]

Sorry pain in bum again!

Next up is to improve lighting in my spray booth. Its in the garage, not the best location. I use two lamps pointing into the booth from both sides but it needs to be greatly improved.

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks again bob

Hi Bob

If you've got one of the collapsible spray booths then have a look at this post from Jim back in the summer. https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/spray-booth-lighting.35438/

He's using a short strip of sewing machine LEDs. I've not tried them yet but rumour has I can be expecting these for Christmas....https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07VZFNZ1D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s04?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Good luck with the hunt

All that I can add Bob is to ensure the are daylight 6500k Kelvin . Otherwise in day light your paint will appear to be a different shade .

Thanks John. Meant to add that as someone on Jim's thread said exactly that, hence me going with this set.

I've seen both the connect to a transformer one , so main input, and the ones like you mention. I'd on Jim and see what he got.

Just realised it was Simon who mentioned the lighting temperature issue.......

Hi Bob
I built a surround for my spray booth and detached a lamp and fitted directly above. Works very well and gives alot of light


Plus another handy shelf!
