amblypygid Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 I have never been to Ikea. Although I've never deliberately avoided them, it's now been so long that I feel an irrational urge to keep away. Quite odd. I did a little work tonight; nothing really worth reporting on, but as I was re-researching the colour of the ABC aerials (I could have sworn I had a source that said they were metal, but I can no longer find it), I came across this rather esoteric garb: https://www.spreadshirt.co.uk/airborne+cigar-1711-mplb+men-s+t-shirt-D59f3645ec805636f74e6f4d1?sellable=ekvd45vRQrtz158pLZaD-bQHq&appearance=17&color=3450B5&view=1 I may have to get one, just 'cos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_ Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Can't recall where I first got wind of those Ikea lamps, but I was looking at some of those cheapo work lights from Amazon and they have such mixed reviews I was dissuaded. Obvs would've liked one of those fancy-pants daylight multi-reflactor architects lamps that are mucho $$$, but I'm not sure She Who Must Be Obeyed would've been so keen. The Ikea ones are pretty decent, and the bulbs seem really good. I have had a number of LED bulbs in various light fittings over the last 10 years, and frankly most of them have been a huge disappointment - 50hz flicker, bad colour rendering, etc - but these seem good for close-up work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amblypygid Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Well, we ended up getting one of those magnifying visors with LED lamp things, and I have to say that first impressions are good. Comfortable, and compact enough to please my wife. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073Z8V5VN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
