BALDER, Vlaardingen Herring Lugger from 1912, scratch build scale 1:50 Plate-On-Frame

Thanks to this post of John @oldflyer:
Hi mates,
Sharing a personal work area improvement - as is often said, “what a difference a day makes”. Hope that you don’t mind my brief indulgence….
My cluttered work table was annoying - lighting(s), and the much needed magnifying lamp that was too heavy and bulky also needed an upgrade.
Amazon (as always) delivered. A delightful improvements!!
Regards,

I ordered the 'architectural style' lamp on --> Amazon <-- and this afternoon it arrived.

Installed it directly above my work area:

You can see that I clamped it upside down on the front of a shelf above my work area. It can be rotated and adjusted to the needed hight. Middle or side lights can be switched on of off and adjusted in 5 steps of color temperature or stepless and in 5 steps of brightness.
The ideal lighting for me! A lot off value for a nice price. Thanks again John @oldflyer !
Turned to the sidewall you still can see the old single LED-spot. The lamp is held in the socket by a wire. It had already fallen out once, right next to my Balder ....... so it was about time.
Regards, Peter
