They are great to work under but taking pictures for magazine articles can be a nightmare. I ended up buying two 400w halogen work lights just to keep the camera in focus!

Thank you for that Neil I do sometimes take photos on the lathe but normally have a dedicated area to photograph my finished items. The only time I may need decent photos is if I do another magazine article(Not woodturning but woodwork related)

LEDs are supposed to be good for keeping the insects away, because they dont have a UV attraction component in the light (apparently).

I bought one for the courtyard and it certainly floods the area with light.
