Hobby Lamps
Lamps used for model making are essential tools for providing accurate and uniform light. The first important feature is their ability to provide high-intensity lighting without overheating, thus avoiding damage to sensitive materials such as plastic or paint. Many modellers opt for LED lamps because they produce a bright light while consuming little energy. They are often dimmable, so you can work with very fine details without glare.

Another sought-after quality in model-making lamps is the ability to adjust the angle and direction of the light. Articulating arms and swivel heads are common, as they allow specific areas of the model to be illuminated without creating annoying shadows. This is particularly useful when working on complex details or small parts. Some model makers also opt for lamps with built-in magnifiers to help them see micro-details without having to handle several tools at once.
Finally, it's crucial that the lamp you choose for modelling provides light with good colour rendition, often measured by the colour rendering index (CRI). A high CRI ensures that the colours seen under the lamp are true to life, an essential factor when applying paints or assembling coloured parts. LED lamps with adjustable colour temperature can also be used to switch between cool and warm light, which can be useful for imitating different lighting environments and adjusting work accordingly.
