Turns out speaking through the magnetic field of a lamp does a number on audio. I cleaned up as best I could but I apologise. Note to self: don’t put lamp in front of camera again.
I've used Bluetack to stick my minis to my "painting handles" (prescription pill bottles), or to a stick for priming. I've never tried it for masking or holding things together though. I didn't know you could clean sandpaper. Off to test it on the pile of shame! (And have a good vacation!)
My main takeaway from this video is that my neatfi lamp was a good choice 😂
Love the humorous tips for using Blu Tack but the lamp looks like a prosthetic leg for sprinters.
So I have the benq lamp and your absolutely right I do like it but it's just not bright enough……love that it helps with reading and eyes etc……but it needs to be twice as bright …….it fails in that department …….
Great video thanks.
I don’t wanna be that guy but that other lamp you showed briefly by your window set up looked to be significantly brighter. I don’t know if the Ring design makes it a good fit for models? I know if you get enough of them you can obviously kill the flood but. 🤷🏻
So you bought the sander in the end then. Loved that blue tack gem of freshening up the pad. Hadn't actually considered that.
Thank you for another awesome video. It’s a shame about Zendaya though. Maybe it’s time fore an Escher gang with Zendaya and some other femme fatales as inspiration? The lime green/chartreuse dress was a fantastic Escher type color.

So you made this video because you were given a free light? I think I'll skip your channel but thanks anyway. I'm really not interested in YouTubers that are more interested in sponsorship than viewers.
Just saw your Necromunda terrain videos and i really want to make you a compliment and i want to thank you for your work! Your videos are awesome! Please keep them coming <3
What’s the mini of the bloke on the horse? Very cool! Thanks for the vid
Ok I thought I'd used blu tack for every use possible, but side of the water pot for drying brushes and cleaning sandpaper – genius. Thanks. Have a good break.
I have used blu tack for leveling out too, I paint on a drawing table that's at an angle, so bit of tac and I have a level wet pallet. Don't come at me for not having a level surface to begin with. Also stop anything rolling off like brushes, pens etc.
Brilliant video as always. Shame about the beer holding power, but the other tips are fantastic!
Thank you for the review. I'm not sure the lamp is for me, but I can see it being "the one" for many other users. And happy holidays 😊.
Does your channel now qualify as light entertainment?
You can also tac your water pot to the table so it doesnt tip over
Enjoy your trip. Thanks will.
Thanks, I learned several new ways that I plan to use Sticky Tack.
Regarding lamps, I have a Daylight Magnificent Pro at my hobby desk and it's great. A bright bendy desk light with a built in magnifying lens!
Sent to ‘review’. Just say it for what it is. Spruik a product for a company 😂
Otherwise. Poster/Blu-tac 💯
Strange curved lamp… which is looks also strange on the video 😅 heh… I’m not an light expert, but as you mentioned – it looks like not bright enough (at least on my taste). As for the blu tack – it is amazing! And, actually, I had no idea that it can be used as a sandpaper (sand file… or some sort of) cleaner. Wow, need to try it 🙂 thanks for the video!
Ah, and for the beer – use magnets 😅
I like to use blu-tac to hold tiny pieces that need to be glued together, such as front and back of Space Marine torsos or two halves of MK6 shoulder pads.
Where is the PDF for the ink mixing charts!? I need that on my wall
I own two of them, and have for a few years now. They're great lights, but have their caveats, especially now that other contenders are on the market and have just as good or even better colour accuracy. First is obviously the price, as others have commented – they vary from $270-350 CAD depending on the day, and for many, that's going to be an instantaneous no. Secondly, two IKEA Tertial lamps with 60 watt equivalent Philips Ultra Definition Bulbs in them (with diffusion cloth as well) is going to give even more even lighting, plus have a larger sweet spot, and only costs about $75 CAD (3-4x cheaper). Third, and this one's a big one for anyone sharing the same space as someone else – the curved design has a bad habit of sending glare into the eyes of someone who's to the right of the lamp. Oh yeah, fourth – the bloody things turn themselves on full brightness and 6700K if power loss occurs (aka they turn themselves on the instant power returns). Some may consider that a feature (those who move them around), but it's really annoying to lose power at 2am and then get my eyeballs zorched by lamps turning themselves on.
I suppose there's a fifth point that matches the second point – this light doesn't put much out compared to others on the market, especially now that the Redgrass Games R9 lamp has hit the market, with it's flat light bars that can be aimed. Of course, a big sticking point for a lot of people is that Regrass doesn't sell a desk version, only a clamp base…
I absolutely love the two I own, as my eyes force me to paint using 2700-3300K lights (yay eye conditions and sensitivity to certain parts of the light spectrum, but especially anything even remotely blue), and I pretty much use it on the second lowest intensity it offers. if Redgrass offered a 3000K version of their light, I'd probably be all over it for the mini painting desk though, since the BenQ e-reading lamps just don't work for our needs in the living room due to the curved design. It provides nice even lighting, and most importantly, doesn't zorch my eyeballs and make me take a break after 30 minutes.
Love the playful twist you did by focusing on usefulness of blu tack ^_^
I don't like using Blu Tack for masking, it's difficult to get it off without damage. I find Silly Putty to be much better.
What sense of humour is that you reference, as I've yet to hear it ?
Enjoy your holiday and remember take photo's as reminders of terrain especially.
"…see me fail spectacularly (by the light of this lamp)." 😉Could have indeed included it more!
Poster putty is the best. The Acolyte is the worst.
Some interesting advice in this vid. I like to use a blob to hold mini parts of a model im building so they dont get lost
The #1 tip was new to me. I'll definitely will be using it for cleaning my files and sandpaper in the future.
I use blue tack for fixing my competition pieces in the box.
I went the other route – I use a daylight lamp so huge its very much like stadium lighting. I think its intended for a proper workshop as it hangs by chains from the ceiling. But, it was only $80, a bit of white paper over it as a diffuser and Robert is my mother's brother. Cheers!
6:15 "not strong enough to hold beer bottles sadly, I tried."
It's like duct tape. If it isn't sticking and staying still you clearly aren't using enough ha ha! Genuinely didn't know that Blu-Tack was an happy accident
I own the BenQ Lamp since almost a Year and I quite happy with.
I still use the blob of blue tack that I stuck my posters to the walls of my college dorm room in 1993. Except its yellow. And a bit more firm than the blue stuff. That tip for cleaning sandpaper is great! Never heard of that one before!
Is it just me or is the audio bad?
Absolutely love the aesthetic of the BENQ but there is no reason to get one for me when Micomlan makes a lamp with the same (and more) features for 4 times less…. yes you read that right
And if you have a standard lamp waveform lighting makes 95+ CRI bulbs for 20 bucks
Love the video!
What is the tool your sand paper is on?
Not paying $350 CAD for a lamp. Call me cheap lol.
