Awesome timing! For couple of month we in Ukraine are living with constant daily blackouts so this is helpful info. Also I want share some "knowledge" - buy everithing in advance. Everything. Powerbanks, ecoflow, candales (thick, not thin!), gas for cooking (if you have electric stove) and a fuel for your generators. You don't have to buy it all in a large though, just as much as you need. Because the main problem gonna be not shortage but price. Also contact your internet provider and ask if they have batteries on their hardware so you can acces internet even without power and work a bit on your laptop and if not - ask them to install them. I realise that this isn't ground braking advices but if you waited for a sign - this is it. Also grab some warm blankets and clothes and visit your local tourism shop and ask them about a camping gear. It`s really nice to be prepared UPDATE: Also buy light reflecting stripes or clothing to help drivers see you when it's dark. And try to keep a few thermoses with hot water for tea or coffee. Boiling water takes a lot of gas. P.S. Thank you all for your wonderful and kind words of support. It means A LOT to Ukraine and for me personally. Love y'all!

A video that explored how the cold effects hobby products might be interesting. We all know how it messes with spray paints but obviously there will be effects on other paint and hobby products too.
@@MidwinterMinis And I'd imagine that given it is 400 years old it's probably listed and can't have such a radical renovation as insulation added to it?
Hello from Vinnytsia, Ukraine! Last few week I spend my hobby time(and not only hobby) in the dark without electricity Not great, not terrible experience, Can say that you can get dicent recult with it, I painted few minis from Massive Darkness 2 and now trying to paint 75mm Teutonic knight Stay safe!
That candle scene of painting was how I was painting Magnus during the Texas Winter Storm. Days without power, but I still wanted to finish the center piece of my army.
I can HIGHLY recommend headlamps too. One like the Nitecore NU32 is what I use everytime I paint. Great CRI led's and the light is always pointing where you're looking
I was JUST thinking about getting a new lamp as my new apartment has much worse lighting at my desk. Since I've got my mic stand on the desk, the hapfish one should work wonders. Great vid Guy!
I don't live in the UK, so I'm not caught up with the political or economic status of your country, but I deeply feel for you guys over there. This video makes me both sad because people have to go through this, but also very happy because you, Guy, are the kind of person the world needs more of. You're taking the time to release a video that can not only help out fellow hobbyists, but anyone that needs light (which is most people) in general, and showing how to do it for a very reasonable price. Videos like this is why you're my favorite hobby channel, and just my favorite channel on UA-cam in general. I hope everything is alright for my friends over in the UK, I feel for you.
It's actually okay that we're looking at having rolling blackouts as a large portion of society here can't afford the energy bills seeing as they have shot up 500% recently with no sign of the costs decreasing, rather the opposite. Oh, it's all the fault of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and has _nothing at all_ to do with the £100 BILLION in profits made by the big 4 energy companies over the last 9 months. But hey, at least we have food banks, along with the newly introduced "warm banks" where we can all huddle together, located in our local libraries... except for the fact they've all been shut down after 12 years of Tory austerity, that is. But we're all in it together over here, many will freeze to death if it's a particularly bad winter, especially if they're waiting the (now typical) 10 hours for an ambulance. However, even our Prime Minister is suffering, too, apparently; he's had to turn the temperature down on his Olympic-sized swimming pool, the poor sod. You're spot-on about the channel, though, it's very good indeed.
@@Loneman_OG wow that is horrible. I didn't know that the situation was that bad over there. I guess when things are going so bad in the US, it's easy to forget that other countries can have it just as bad, if not worse. I truly hope that everything works out for you guys, and that it gets better. I don't wish these situations upon anyone.
@Ryan Wright it's not bad in the UK and we will not have rolling blackouts. The government makes contingencies for all situations. Much the same as the US government has a plan for the Zombie apocalypse. He was sponsored to sell a lamp and that's his sales pitch.
@@kevinm498 "Will not" that's a dangerous claim to make as is asserting the government plans well for big and catastrophic events. I can't begin to think which recent large event the Tories had their thumb jammed up their backside for, it's on the tip of my tongue but eludes me, hum.
ik you didnt test it but the Vivilux lamp is amazing. 3 temperature ranges and long battery life saved me hours of waiting for the sun to see my colors properly. i honestly prefer the red tones for personal use since not to bright
Elderly neighbours, well Guy as I am close to 70, no one has come near me in weeks so guessing either they are too busy trying to stay warm indoors or they see me as just an old man who stays aloof of them? As for the battery lights I use a gooseneck system and have done for years which can clip onto a table or shelf and be multi-positional so suits my needs.
This is truly terrible the conditions that you will have. Very interesting with the lighting and colour will affect the painting. Maybe trying painting with the different lights if it does not damage to eyes. It would be fascinating to see how it would turn out.
I like the fact that the hapfish could be attached to my metal ikea work lamp which i keep clamped to my desk. Could be really useful if used in combo to brighten my work space.
Thank you for the review! This is the first time I’ve followed a link from the channel. I can’t wait to get my Hapfish light and start painting in the wee hours of the night :)
this is only partially related to this video but as an australian, this is the first im hearing about these mandatory blackouts and im downright furious for you guys. please stay safe mwm, wishing you all the best
Hey there ... did you know the Lord Foldemort lamp is dim-able ?!? Might be why it was pants and lasted so long, you had it on the lowest setting me thinks 🤔 ... I might buy it thanks to you ! Nice one take care 😊
I just use my Makita cordless flashlight. The 4 amp battery lasts for 15+ hours and I always have extra batteries ready to go because it uses the same as my drills and such.
I use a couple of cycling headlights with adjustable elastic headbands. They have 3 light settings, although I find I only need the lowest, so they last a good few hours. They have internal rechargable batteries and take less than half an hour to fully charge. I think they were about £5 each from Aldi.
This is what I settled on after much searching: "Carson MagniFlex Pro 2x LED Lighted Gooseneck Flexible Magnifier with 4x Spots Lens and Magnetic Base (CP-90) Black". Of course it is a magnifier, not just a lamp, but the reason I chose it was to take with me to my local gaming store painting night where the room lighting is horrible and I needed magnification. It can be used plugged in or on battery power and takes good old standard batteries.
As someone living in Texas, who saw two years in a row the power grid crapping out during the deepest winter, I can sympathize with having criminally incompetent government. Thousands of our people died during the first year. All because the conservatives in our government didn't want Texas to be subject to power regulations by being hooked to the rest of the country's two national power grids.
My favourite battery worklight is the 'Smallrig Vibe P96L', which I nicked from my mum's studio. Repeatedly. I guess she loves it too because she got so frustrated with my thievery, she ended up getting me my own, lol! It was somewhere around $50 Aussiebucks? It's basically a miniature panel LED for fill-lighting. I whole-heartedly recommend looking into it as an option. It's only a wee thing but it packs a heck of a punch (it's about the size and shape of an average smartphone, which also makes it very portable). Light quality is excellent! My understanding is that it's intended for filming/photography so it has a built in diffuser and adjustable colour (as in actual colour -- if you want to fill your room with purple, go for it XD), light warmth in Kelvin, brightness, etc. And on the back it's got a neat little LCD display with the battery, current brightness %, current kelvin, and an estimation of how much time it's got left at current settings before needing a charge. Got little dials for making all kind of adjustments, comes with a cute little tripod, brushed-metal body... I was surprised it was so cheap when I asked mum what she paid for it. It also won't go above 60% brightness while on charge so it won't overheat, but I found even at 60% it was brighter than other desk lights I've tried out. Only trouble I can see with it, the included tripod's as wee as the light. So if you haven't anywhere higher than your worktop to put it, its practicability is more limited. That said, its aforementioned size and shape is a big plus, because it perfectly fits my gooseneck smartphone holder and I imagine it'd easily fit any other type of smartphone clamp as well.
I use a ikea lamp with different colour temps and brightness settings. It runs from usb phone wall adapter. I have also used it with power banks with no issues.
Also a very inaccurate one. What Guy is saying about rolling blackouts is BS. Most recent reporting is showing that it's still unlikely to happen, and at most there is a scheme to pay people for willingly turning their power off. He's also trying to blame the current government for what is almost entirely an external issue caused by the Russian fuel embargo and war in Ukraine. He also ignores that we're so reliant on natural gas because of a left wing supported green energy mandate. Honestly this video is just weirdly political for no real reason.
Just get a Bluetti or Jackery battery unit. A lot more expensive obviously but you can plug any existing lamp into it, it'll last a long time, and you can use it for other things besides just lighting.
I use a battery powered LED headtorch pretty much all the time, I can move the model wherever and the light always comes from pretty much my eyes point of view.
I was sold on the magnetic one as soon as I started watching. This will go well in my spray booth. Though I might pay a few quid extra to the 4000 mAh :)
Maybe a portable battery and a small lamp and heating blanket would be good for the few hours with out power. For the States a Jackery system would work but would cost around the cost of a small 40k army. I don't know if there is a UK or Euro version that puts out 240v. A USB powered lamp might also work and USB battery packs are cheaper. This is an interesting topic just not for this here dark times, It could be useful if you are on vacation and don't have power. Having some kind of back up power is very useful. Also if you have to resort to candles please be careful. There are more than 1000 candle fires each year in the UK.
I've painted in candle light I do not recommend my eyes died and I had to take a break from painting for a week and a half. My eyes were super dry and exhausted from trying to focus on something so small in the dark.
They don't perform well in the winter, and unfortunately the government recently sold off the country's long term natural gas storage, so now there's only a few week's emergency supply.
@@MidwinterMinis oh geez, sounds like mine selling off strategic oil reserves. It's like thet don't understand the purpose of resources. Politicians, dumb everywhere but their pockets. Fingers crossed green nuclear is not too far off, let's hope they don't bung that up. Tip if you can insulate, find every air leak and use a little spray foam. The less you loose the less you need to maintain.
Snarky opening ;) a good remaindering of a ending. Looks like the Hapfish magnetic would be good painting. But honestly that Lord Foldemort ;p seems like the pick for a emergency light given its battery life, looked like enough to read never mind cook, grab blankets and the such.
Due to issues with gas supply, it's possible the national grid will have rolling blackouts between 4pm-7pm on really cold days, unless better supplies can be guaranteed. The big question though is how the tories are making money off of it, because they don't do anything if it doesn't personally enrich themselves.

All of Guys digs at the tories make him my new favourite hobbyist ❤️
Rishis's Mandatory Winter Blackout Seal of Approval had me both laughing and crying within seconds of each other.
That intro had Olympic gold level sarcasm. 😂
"blackout seal of approval" would have cracked me up if I wasn't considering burning bank notes for both heat and light 😂
You failed to mentioned the free shade this vlog came with. Great as always!
That candle scene of painting was how I was painting Magnus during the Texas Winter Storm. Days without power, but I still wanted to finish the center piece of my army.
This video literally reminded me to get my battery packs charged up at work before I go home for the weekend - thanks Midwinter Minis!
Really informative Guy, hope you'll be able to endure the ever-colder winter nights with the blackouts.
Would’ve thought the most expensive would be the best but the results were really surprising
Expensive rarely, if ever, means "best".
@@The_Keeper fair point
Generally the Middle Price will do best, Low Price is getting what you pay for, Highest Price is almost always a rip-off

Gotta say, didn't expect to hear a swipe at the tories in a mini paint lighting video, nice.

Thanks for the recommendations, I got the Deeplite desk light, and that works great for me!
Very useful for us here in South Africa, where we've been having blackouts "loadshedding" for over a decade.
Rolling blackouts are unfortunately a staple in South Africa (I am currently in the midst of one), I empathise :/ best of luck, Guy.
Looks like amazon has an additional £3 voucher you can add on the Hapfish after using your link. So it was £21.99 at checkout. Cheers!

The passive aggresive shade at the conservatives is what's gonna keep me warm this winter.

I use a ikea lamp with different colour temps and brightness settings. It runs from usb phone wall adapter. I have also used it with power banks with no issues.
I like lamp.
Incredible coincidence. Was just looking at these on amazon and came to UA-cam for a break from decision paralysis.
Like the second one
This was a very weird way for me to learn about the energy shortages in the UK
Also a very inaccurate one. What Guy is saying about rolling blackouts is BS. Most recent reporting is showing that it's still unlikely to happen, and at most there is a scheme to pay people for willingly turning their power off. He's also trying to blame the current government for what is almost entirely an external issue caused by the Russian fuel embargo and war in Ukraine. He also ignores that we're so reliant on natural gas because of a left wing supported green energy mandate. Honestly this video is just weirdly political for no real reason.

Thx man. I was searching for a hobby light and this video made me get the hapfish. (Using the affiliate link ofc.) ;)
Just get a Bluetti or Jackery battery unit. A lot more expensive obviously but you can plug any existing lamp into it, it'll last a long time, and you can use it for other things besides just lighting.
I use a battery powered LED headtorch pretty much all the time, I can move the model wherever and the light always comes from pretty much my eyes point of view.
I was sold on the magnetic one as soon as I started watching. This will go well in my spray booth. Though I might pay a few quid extra to the 4000 mAh :)
You really are a thoroughly decent chap ❤
Maybe a portable battery and a small lamp and heating blanket would be good for the few hours with out power. For the States a Jackery system would work but would cost around the cost of a small 40k army. I don't know if there is a UK or Euro version that puts out 240v. A USB powered lamp might also work and USB battery packs are cheaper. This is an interesting topic just not for this here dark times, It could be useful if you are on vacation and don't have power. Having some kind of back up power is very useful. Also if you have to resort to candles please be careful. There are more than 1000 candle fires each year in the UK.
Love the video. What about a usb magnifier lamp plugged into a power bank?
Good burn Guy, well played. Sorry to hear of your struggles. I hope all turns out well.
I just use a rechargable LED headlamp. Since my light source is always coming from my forehead I dont really need to worry about the viewing area.
Look into inexpensive camp lanterns, they usually run off AA or AAA batteries, and have lots of reflectors to maximize light
I need a new lamp! Thanks for this
Best asmr video I've ever watched
thanks Guy. lamp bought
Cobalt Keep has a new painting handle that has a rechargeable light.
ive never been one for asmr but om my god this video wants to make me hear guy talk softly about minis every night before i go to bed
Very…illuminating….🤔
Great ideas. Thanks
Love your videos
I've painted in candle light I do not recommend my eyes died and I had to take a break from painting for a week and a half. My eyes were super dry and exhausted from trying to focus on something so small in the dark.
Perfect timing for me 🙌
I thought UK had a big push to be green. Isn't solar power and wind a thing overthere? How come unstable grid power?
They don't perform well in the winter, and unfortunately the government recently sold off the country's long term natural gas storage, so now there's only a few week's emergency supply.
@@MidwinterMinis oh geez, sounds like mine selling off strategic oil reserves. It's like thet don't understand the purpose of resources. Politicians, dumb everywhere but their pockets. Fingers crossed green nuclear is not too far off, let's hope they don't bung that up. Tip if you can insulate, find every air leak and use a little spray foam. The less you loose the less you need to maintain.
This is incredibly based for a video about finding the best hobby lamp
Nice, Famous Grouse is one of my favorite blended whiskey

Snarky opening ;) a good remaindering of a ending. Looks like the Hapfish magnetic would be good painting. But honestly that Lord Foldemort ;p seems like the pick for a emergency light given its battery life, looked like enough to read never mind cook, grab blankets and the such.
Odd to not see this in my subscriptions but in suggested videos
UK getting some loadshedding like us South Africans too huh?
wait... since when are we expecting blackouts!?
Due to issues with gas supply, it's possible the national grid will have rolling blackouts between 4pm-7pm on really cold days, unless better supplies can be guaranteed. The big question though is how the tories are making money off of it, because they don't do anything if it doesn't personally enrich themselves.
@@smelge oh dear.. got to love the tories
Love this guy
LED panels for photography are very good hobby lamps, and they have replaceable batteries which would give you a long working time
Pile of shame update when?
