I’ve been self-employed for 3 years now and have been getting by with a shitty floor light. Now I finally decided that it was time to commit and invest those 45 euros on a proper one.
This is so much better than the one I had before. I can actually see what I’m doing here without needing to constantly adjust the light and move it to a better position. Why did I torture myself these 3 years with it. Same deal with the wall sander there. Should’ve bought it the first time I got a major drywall job. I never learn.
Yeah, they’re LEDs and the kind that you can quite easily replace if either one breaks. Also, fully opened the legs span about a meter which should be plenty sturdy.
Whenever possible I try and rig up some kind of overhead lighting, but especially when painting / plastering, getting that sidelight with long shadows is essential for a smooth finish.
