$50 vs $250 Modelmaking Desk Light: Testing the Difference
Переглядів 6 тис.14 днів тому
Norm sits down with Joey to test two workbench lamps designed for modelmaking and miniatures painting, using a Sekonic spectrometer to analyze the color quality of these lighting options. If you've ever bought an LED lamp and wondered what the CRI rating means, we have a surprising answer!

    I’m here for this, tested has been a part of my life me through much of my 20’s and almost halfway through my 30’s. I enjoy getting glimpses into the rest of the team’s hobbies and experiences and any advice you guys have for processes and materials. I hope this channel is successful

    Like the branching out. Great intro to the elektrons for the tested fans. I have the digitakt and it’s not very intuitive but will go down as a classic electronic music must have.

    Cool with 80’s movie music vibes! Be cool for Mel to deep dive and talk about the synths and setting them up 😊 Also get Mel to talk making art digitally 😊

    When painting a room, I always try to check the paint colour under the kind of lighting that would be used in that room - my local suppliers actually have a little recess where you can hold the sample chips under 'daylight', warm LED, white LED etc. By that logic, while this is genuinely interesting and useful as a more in-depth review of the lights, for miniatures specifically I kinda wonder how many of those ever see daylight. Back when I was painting my own 40K minis, for example, maybe I should have been seeking out the lamp that best replicates a poorly lit basement? 😉

      Also… I watch sooooo many synth vids and tuts… I love that this is uncut and people understand how much experimentation goes into to the truly live track… You’re there for the journey not the LP.

    • @iamtoast3397
      @iamtoast3397 8 днів тому

      +1 here! This was really enjoyable, & did an unexpectedly fantastic job occupying my ADHD brain while assembling fiddly little things, especially with the thought process commentary. Unlike OP I've never watched a synth video before, so it was fun seeing what some of the twiddly buttons do. Also fun nostalgia, reminded me of being a kid playing with the looping functions on my dad's keyboard (except Mel is actually good, which is more than you could say for me or my dad! 😂 ) I'd love this as a regular series, maybe even in a longer format if they'd be up for it 🙂 (think of all the new toys you could call business expenses...)

    The best part (in my opinion) is around 4:25. Look at Mel's face: there's not so much thinking or considering as simply...feeling. What feels right here? Don't touch anything, just listen, enjoy. That's how music should be (again, in my opinion) - a feeling, not a calculation.

      @TheJezric 8 днів тому

      I would check out the Digitone 2 before the Digitakt (1 or 2), it's synth based rather than sample based as the Digitakt is. It's way more flexible on its own (in my opinion of course, being more a synth person than a sample person). ;)

    Having had the pleasure of knowing Mel IRL, it's remarkable how identical they are on UA-cam. Most folks make up a persona when they do the UA-cam thing, and it's a little bit them, a little bit who they aspire to be, a lot of them trying hard to be what they think the audience wants. But Mel is Mel.

    More blue light is good for working and red light is good for ambiance and mood lighting possibly due to evolutionary pressures from blue sky during the day and red, orange, and purple sky at dusk and dawn.

    Lighting is often ignored, but it can make a huge difference in work quality and reducing fatigue. Proper lighting can also save money in many ways.

  • @Lion_McLionhead

    Wonder if the spectrometer has an actual prism or interpolates voltage from RGB photodiodes to estimate the pastel wavelengths.

    I’m going to add a small LED strip light to about 2ft above my workbench with a pelmet to avoid glare. This gives me a good overall light and then use one of these desk lights for focussed light. Helps with middle age eyes! Keep the videos coming 😊

    To test the difference in the red, I would just put out some red items and compare the lights and see how they look. I noticed when comparing some lights, very unscientifically, the red looked superfunky on the cheaper RGB strips compared to high quality LED lights... I just looked at them with my eyes, did not involve a camera.
