light source for tt setup


Wondering what light source works the best for setting up a cartridge. Seems like a gooseneck light with a light source that is focused would work the best and I have not found one to purchase. Any suggestions? Thanks

For close up work I like the battery powered LED headband lights available at most tool stores. I use mine all the time as it shines light on the subject and never gets in your eyes. Most have a 3 intensity setting so you get it bright as you like. Also works great for making hookups on the back of equipment as well. If you are looking for light to use while playing records then I recomment the LittleLite available at AudioAdvisor or LittleLite direct.
Thanks for the info, both suggestions are excellent. I will most likely use both sources.
I use a Dolan-Jenner Fiber Light model 190 which is made for laboratory illumination: http://www.dolan-jenner.com/Pro/190.htm

It has a nice, infinitely positionable goose neck and is extremely focused and bright. Look on epay for a used model. I paid less than $50 for mine.

Dan,

Still worth every penny not having to jockey around the deck with multiple light sources in hand. Enjoy illumination!
