Before I order mine, can you send a few before and after shots of some
flies you've tied? Just curious to see the quality difference.

Seriously... I just called and ordered one. I like the lighting
options and think this light will come in pretty handy for macro
photography shots.

This is truly a quality product and I recommend it highly.

The reason for the post, the prices on these lamps are going
to increase on April 1. If you have ever considered a SoLux
for fly tying you only have til the end of the month to beat
the price hike.

Solux is local in Rochester. The owner has been very helpful with our
senior design class, working with our students to develop a dental product
using his bulbs. A very nice man, and generous with his time.

Are those mini halogen lamps?

No, they're SoLux proprietary bulbs made only by SoLux.

You can read about them on that web site.

I bought a light from the Daylight Co. It's the desk top model with a
magnifier. The site is 'Home - Daylight™' (http://tinyurl.com/35pffg).
The price is about the same. What appealed to me was the magnifier. It
has florescent bulbs, not the halogen looking bulbs of the light you
purchased Dennis. Those bulbs sure look like low voltage halogen bulbs
that electricians have installed for me in built in units that I have
installed. Must be a difference you cannot see on the web.

They are halogen lamps with a blue filter to shift their effective color
temperature to something like noon daylight. This costs efficiency
because it takes more watts to get the same luminance. The need and
usefulness of this for fly tying is at best a matter of taste. Fish
don't see color the same as humans do, so the notion that one is making
a close match to the color of a natural as fish sees it with fly tying
material is rather illusory. Another light system that is hyped a lot is
this Ott Lamp. The same critique applies to it.

I find the SoLux light easier on the eyes during a long tying
session. And having all my tying materials looking the same color
at the bench as they do on the stream is more for my benefit than
the fishes. YMMV.

Ken,
Do you use the table top model? I have a cheepy halogen table top that works
ok but would like to upgrade to a better lamp. Is it stable and how is the
flexibility of the"arm"?

Yes, I use the Original Task desk lamp. The base weighs a ton and
it's quite stable. You can also use it with a clamp instead of the
base which I how I take it traveling. The arm is spring loaded and
adjustable to many different positions.
