[MHLPlaster]

Evening all,

im doing a job during evening hours and needless to say it's a right chew! Walls look lovely when I have the light on and am troweling in- yet when i go during day light hours! **** ME, you would think I haven't been to
college!! Any tips from the pros out there!

cheers

Can you get a better light than the light on the ceiling?

 

[johniosaif]

Skimming, . . ..? It can happen , you need better lights and closer inspection whilst doing it

I had that on one of my first jobs skimming a ceiling over artex..............looked mustard when the light was on and dog sh1t when it was off.......................:RpS_blushing:

Just told the old dear to keep the light on..........................:RpS_thumbsup:

I always have a Hallogen out, u know u have no come back then, apart from Moxy, he still uses a candle.

Double headed halogen light out on every job, you just can't beat a double header :RpS_thumbsup:

I was working on a job the other day and he had an led 1000 lumen light. £40 from costco. One would be enough to light a bedroom. Maybe need 2 for a lounge diner sized room. Doesnt give off any heat and bulbs dont blow like halogens Saw a 1800 lumen led on ebay which would be great but its only rechargeable and doesn't work directly off the mains.

have you tried one of these:

they're excellent. you can get a cheaper one from aldi for £2.99.


also have two of these which are ace:

Faithfull Power Plus Plasterers Fluorescent Folding Light 18w 240v : Tooled-Up.com

you can get them for £40.00 each somewhere on the internet.

 

[beddy]

Them folding lights are crap

 

[Casper]

I use two 400w halogens from B&Q. £14 each. Bulbs last fine as long as you don't kick them or drop them.

 

[jesssop]

i go home when its dark.

 

[jesssop]

but if i do get caught out i have one similar to this i got it in a lidle sale for tenner

Florescent with a cable on ;-) no good all the heat off the shity ones like , led all the way if i was buying ,

 

[spunky]

If you get the dawn/dusk half light it can show up more than full sun on an angle

 

[cathal]

Halogen lights always, and also when your finished step back a bit and have a good look you may just spot something your not happy with.

 

[mrmacgypsum]

you can have every light going but once natures big orange ball shines through it can make a lovely job look like blackpool beach at low tide.

Stick a halogen in the window :RpS_thumbup:

 

[kebab king]

Buy 300 w replacemnt bulbs, bright enough, but not as hot.
