Lights for shooting macros inside....... - 03-16-2005, 11:43 AM


I have been using some little light I got at Lowe's Home center, the problem is they only had a few of them and sold them all out.
I have been looking for them for a long time, people email me and ask were I got them, when they have been to my Lightbox site.

Well I have found them, now if you like taking macros in the house like I do in the winter (for the Houston people, Winter is when it cold and there is nothing outside to shoot) these little lights are great.

They will go from right now on the table top to about 17 inches high. They are only 20 watt so they are easy to work with.
Now the really nice thing about them is they are only $7 each. Here is a link to them.

Here are the lights.

Here is some shots that I have use them on.

Both lights down very low and a red on one a blue on the other plastic filter.


Used in front.
