That way I can still get even light at really low power, using only 5 bulbs. The dimmers are set up to control every other bulb.

Just wondered what the 2 dimmers do? can half be dimmed while other half of ring is full power? Hey this is really cool.

I think my dad and uncle worked on it for just a few hours at a time for a couple of days after some planning. I don't use this light very often, so I haven't tried different light bulbs, but I definitely will the next time I decide to use it. I hadn't thought about newer bulbs being cooler and more comfortable to be in front of. Thanks for the tip! It didn’t take too long to make it.

I've seen some of these made with little energy saving bulbs which dont burn as hot but seem to work.. Did you consider them? I so what made your overall choice? Love the shot and Well done!

I wasn't necessarily going for the effect that I got with the mixed temps, but it looked cool and I consider it a happy accident. Let me know if you build one of these. I'd like to see how it turns out. I’ll definitely try out some different temperature bulbs.

Also, I hope ypu have considered using light bulbs at 5600k color temperature, might cut down on photoshop time, unless you were going go with a look that has a diffence in temperature combinations, in that case: way to go.
