What lighting do you prefer for the room in which you engage in miniature wargaming battles?

Personal logo Sgt Slag Supporting Member of TMP11 Aug 2017 1:21 p.m. PST

Daylight LED's, 4,000 K, with plenty of Lumens, more than 2,000, as my room is 20' x 24'. Cheers!

Lots of Light – of any kind

Though not a fan of too much Florescent

skipper John11 Aug 2017 1:40 p.m. PST

There can never be enough light!

Rich Bliss11 Aug 2017 1:53 p.m. PST

Natural

Lots of light for me but heck I'll play even in dim light!

Halogen. Several fixtures with bulbs at various angles to cover the room.

LEDs Daylight and Soft White More light is better

Sgt Slag +1.
Converted from old daylight bulbs a year ago and it made a huge difference.

Rockets Red Glare … barring that natural light augmented by LEDs inside (when we game inside).

Lots and lots of light.

No light with night vision goggles. It makes for,a moody night game experience.

I would like more light where I game, but I have an ok set up with lots of LED bulbs. Not daylight, though. Should give that a try.

Lots of light is better. Not direct sunlight or afternoon glare that comes in the windows. But we have been known to play by candle light for Halloween or phone lights when there is a power outage.
