glen Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 How have you lit your wall paintings? I was hoping to light this with this cool brass lamp but it doesn't seem to give an even light. Are there better lights available or do I have to mount spot lights up in the ceiling? It’s 4x2 ½ inches so it’s pretty big. Supposed to be a feature on a side wall upstairs. Glen PS, this isn't in the dollhouse yet, it's just a test mount on a pice of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Good question, Glen. I'll be watching for how other people have handled this situation. I haven't built a 1:12 dollhouse yet, but my dad did install spotlights up in the ceiling of the Beacon Hill. My first wiring attempt will be an 1890 farmhouse, so I will be putting in limited lighting (faux kerosene and candle). -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missymew Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 My Beacon Hill is 1:12 scale, but it was built by my father. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Glen, would fiberoptics give a less harsh, more even light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 MMmmm Even thought about mounting another florescent light over it but they are really bright. Lots of cool factor though. I'm going to put one over the kitchen bench when I get to that part of the building. I think a couple of down lights over it will be the best way with the brass lamp just there for appearances.
