Shawl Every Day 2021 - Day 19 - Shop Infrastructure: Task Lighting
I’ve got 2 decently sized windows in my studio and some overhead lighting, but sometimes I need something a little more focused. And of course, I often craft when it’s dark. Adding task lighting, especially the one over my cutting mat, was one of the best studio upgrades I made in the last year.
The cutting mat lamp clamps on to the table and is fairly adjustable. It can do multiple brightness levels, but more importantly, it can do either cool/blue light or warm/yellow light. This makes it great for taking photos when the ambient lighting isn’t great.
The small desk lamp is relatively new, but I used it mainly when I am doing some hand sewing or weaving in ends at my desk. My desk is the furthest away from the other lighting sources and sometimes I need something super focused on what I’m doing. It’s cordless/rechargeable and can do 3 different brightness levels.
