our lab is a photon vacuum.
i've iterated through an array of desk lamps, but realized the biggest problem is the lack of reflections from walls/ceilings.
so the shield is a big light reflector --- just foam posterboard taped together and hung from a 5-iron and some rope.
the $5 ikea lamps provide nice warm light, and the angular shield makes it feel like you're on a photo shoot with ambient light and minimal self-occluding shadows.
- sitkack 13y agoI have a design for a suspended reflector tent that is pretty much exactly what you have there. I can't stand shadows and varying illumination when I read or work on electronics.
