EGO, the light for Art and Craft Work and Reproduction



Any flat art larger than a flatbed scanner is a problem to digitize for the web or print. But with a good digital camera and the four EGOs with two tripods shown here, you could reproduce any flat art and painting up to four by six feet - goal is to cross light at 30 degrees off center from the four corners of the art work - so you are limited only by the height of your tripods or lightstands.

It then follows that a color critical reproduction lighting kit can also be used a artist or craftperson's daylight high color tasklight as they create their art. The tripods shown extend to 5 feet height or the EGO unit self stands on a table - giving flexibility to position one or all of the group to illuminate your task.

Ingredients needed:
4 Lowel EGO with 5500K high color lamps, 120Vac USA, Japan (240Vac version available)
2 Adjustable table top tripods
