Let there be light!!

Pete just installed a light above my desk. He tells me it's 100 watts. Of
course that's a unit of electricity, rather than of light. This is a
professional nursery light used to simulate daylight, and what a
difference!! I'm seeing it most with my beading. I can identify colors of
glass and metal better, and even find the black holes in the black onyx
beads. And I have some Alexandite glass that's blue in natural light, and
purple in
"indoor light". Blue under this light. Oh goody.

I was wondering where the light at the end of the tunnel went to.
It's at your desk! lol Just kidding. I am in the process of changing
all my lights to Reveals?

I couldn't get through a dark, dank Northwest winter without my light box.
Well worth the investment I made two years ago.

Harry, I've been doing that this year myself. It's so great! I found one
hardware store where they were on huge sale -- the guy said no one buys them.
I think that's crazy -- but I bought a whole basket full of Reveals at a very
good price.

I paid quite a bit for mine and I think that's why no one buys them
They are pretty costly, compared to others lights. If I find them on
sale I will stock up. I have several changed and it is amazing at the
difference. My walls look white again instead of that dull yellow you
get from incandence light. I know I spelled that wrong. lol

I have three light sources where I work and I still feel like it's not
enough. Never thought of using a nursery light, good idea. Just
might have to give one of those a try.

Now what are you going about that glass?

I just got some special, fancy 5100K (that's the "color rating", not the
price!) "daylight" bulbs to take photos by, and what a difference! Wow!

I don't know what the bulb it, but it has 5 loops of glass, each of which
(doubled) is about a foot. That's probably why there doesn't seem to be
much shadow. I'm trying to get another dozen pieces done for Anchorage, so
I haven't experimented much with photography yet. Actually I'm hoping Pete
will do the photography for me. The bulb pulls the same 100W as my regular
light but produces 250's worth, I'd guess. The damn bulb cost more than an
Ott light. The speed of my work has increased, with it, too.

If you ever need more fancy bulbs, I found that
http://www.buylighting.com has an amazing selection, and their prices
seem good too.
