Looking good. I like some of the small details like the pvc to give the lights a more finished look. I can very much relate to your process of picking out lighting and trying to make educated decisions moving forward with layout and design. I'm looking forward to see how it looks in the end.
Thanks. I am very happy with the lighting and it's inexpensive. The dust collection system is tailored to my setup so of course I'm happy with that :) Thanks for watching.
Architect and woodworker here with a lot of experience specifying lighting: lighting “temperature” describes the color of light. 5000k is similar to sunlight and much “bluer” than typical residential lighting of 3500-4000. If you’re creating pieces for residential interiors, the color of the wood will look most realistic in this lower kelvin range. I also recommend looking at flat panel LEDs vs linear to minimize shadows from more concentrated sources. Finally - I’m so glad you mentioned CRI - low cost fixtures with lower CRI can really throw off the color of your workpiece.
Thank you for your comment. Totally agree, lighting is a very complex topic and pieces will look different in various types of lighting. I first learned how to use flat panels in my photography lighting classes but don't have the budget for both. That is not yet :).
Looking good 😊. Reasearch is the most fun part. I'm excited to see the move in video!
Me too!!
Awesome ideas on building out you shop. I look forward to the next installment.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.
Great and cheap way to hide those cords. i have a very similar situation with my lights and I think I'm going to do what you did! Great idea!
Go for it!
