Light over the lathe
#11
I took down the old florescent light and put up a 5500 LED. It certainly brightens up what I'm working on but it changes the appearance of the item also. To harsh. What do you use? Would lower lumens be better.

What is the light spectrum of the LED fixture you chose.

I prefer the daylight 4500k-5000k

+1, the 6000K color is to blue for me.
"73 is the best number because it's the 21st prime number, and it's mirror 37 is the 12th prime number, whose mirror 21 is the product of 7 times 3. Also in binary 73 is 1001001, which is a palindrome." - Nobel Laureate, Dr. Sheldon Cooper

I like a couple of these: http://amzn.to/2zC7x2c
in clamp fixtures: http://amzn.to/2zrJG4z

So I can move them around as needed.

I use candles on a stick.

The only tool I have is a lathe.  Everything else is an accessory.

The long thin ones or the wide fat ones?
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
