If you have a local Somerfield with a Tchibo concession, you can pick one of these up for £12.99.  I got one today as an auxilliary to my main lamp for small patterns/photography etc  Dougie  |

Nice find. What type of light is that? Halogen?

Hi Pacres,
Yes, it's a 20w Halogen. It's marketed as a 'kitchen light'.

It just shows you what you can find if you look hard enough.
IKEA is also a good source of cheap lighting, infinately better than the ones produced for fly tying,which seem to me to command outlandish prices.

One thing I noticed when using the lamp tonight, it gets HOT!   Obviously not designed to be in use for long periods. Not so good!  Dougie |

Bought one today.
I liked everything about this and could even live with it getting hot but..
It's half as bright as I thought it would be.
OK if you want a bowl of apples lit moodily but not much cop for tying.
Back it goes then.

the 20watt halogen lamps that asda sells as desks lamps are perfect for flytying and only cost a fiver.

Tight lInes I've got a couple of IKEA lights and they're very good but unless you live close to the store you need to make sure that you buy a few spare bulbs as you can only get them from IKEA. |

Tweed If you want a good daylight lamp - just buy a cheap fluorescent table lamp and a day light tube. Much cheaper and exactly the same result. Places like Hobbycraft sell daylight bulbs & tubes or you can get them on the net. Ian |

Standard 'cheapo' angle poise lamp (<£5) and a daylight/craft bulb (<£3).
