I have finally found a great LED neck lamp for working on projectors or for running film shows. It is rechargeable, and each light can be individually on or off and the lamps can be positioned over a wide angle. It is far more comfortable than a headlight: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-2954...ght/5001523463
I've done a number of two machine shows, sometimes remote, where I had to change reels in the dark, sometimes during a half-filled 200 footer!
-A little illumination might greatly reduce operator stress!
I was doing something comparable the other night and used my iPhone as a flashlight. In the process, I learned that these generate a pulsating magnetic field that makes nasty noises when bought even fairly close to a magnetic head connected to an amplifier and speakers!
(I'm thinking I want to keep my flashlights simple and DC powered from now on. I'm thinking I want to avoid placing the iPhone on the same table as magnetic sound tracks, too!)
I was one the A/V nerds in high school. Once in a while my school would run feature length films in the auditorium on a Friday or Saturday night using two Bell & Howell “Specialist” 16mm projectors. Lighting was never a problem because the projection booth was separated from the main auditorium. There were two small openings in the wall to project through, much like a real movie theatre. I did keep the lighting low, but it never affected the auditorium.
Going off-topic…one of my favorite movie nights in high school is when I played a Warner Brothers Bugs Bunny short followed by the Who’s “Tommy”. Interesting movie with a fantastic soundtrack. ❤️
Nice find! I dislike head lamps so having this on the neck seems like it would work well.
I've been using a Joby Gorillatorch LED light at CineSea. The flexible legs wrap around a leg of my Welt Safe-Lock projector table and then it's just a matter of angling the beam correctly.
