Thanks! but I will give the local Pound-Shop, a miss!... as it is staffed by the, Teenage, 'Un-Dead'. Mention Daylight bulb, and you would get a blank stare, a slowly lifted arm, depicting the general location (Usually within a square mile). And a Groan of some description that is supposed to pass as verbal instruction to the said location.

Poundland or equivalent for the reading glasses Mark, not the 'daylight' bulbs. Even specialist lighting suppliers often don't have full-spectrum bulbs

It's a Lightcraft Model 8095, and available from this lot;
http://www.shesto.co.uk/Lamps-&-Mag...ft-Wide-Lens-Table-Mag-Lamp/product_info.html
As you'll see if you follow the link, Shesto's website is worth a look around for all sorts of useful stuff.
Here's a snap with the LED lights on - and they do help a lot as well.
This is the spare "daylight tube" with a 54mm figure I'm working on that'll give you an idea how big the tube is.
And I just noticed Shesto claim it's a 12Watt lamp, but my spare tube is 22Watts? It also has T5 printed on it. I've a feeling that might refer to the "temperature" of the light - probably 5000K. In this case "temperature" doesn't mean heat - I read somewhere it's a measure of the type of light the bulb emits. I think, (but don't take this as gospel), the average light in the UK is around 5400K on a sunny day.
Here's a photo of the magnifier. As I've said, I don't use it, but the wife does when she's doing her nails.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Go for a daylight bulb ,but try also to paint under natural daylight especially for flesh tones ,oh and brown horses ,if you paint under normal incandescent
you can end up with olive green highlights when daylight arrives
Ask yourself this , why did the old masters like to to paint in Provence . Its the quality of the daylight

If you find a cheaper tool company then please let me know as I badly need to replace my needle files. In addition, I've got a small dremel which is good for light duty jobs....
....and also a Rotacraft RC09 - good for heavier duty but it's a bit uncontrollable at higher speeds, so I'm also looking for a flexishaft drive for it. Shesto have one at 21.95GBP but by the time I add shipping costs it'll amount to a fair bit of loot.
Perhaps I should just enter a combined order and get several items from them at once. Once they deduct VAT, that'll just about cover the postal charges.
Hmm, I'll have a think about that one.

Thanks Ron, When I do paint it is mostly in natural light! ..(Conservatory)!.. but at times I like to extend into the evening, to escape 'East-Enders', and all the other duff soaps!
