My lights are all 5200K Florescent. Altogether I have 7 45W & 2 20W lights. I use different combos. I am about ready to start making some diffusers but still haven't decided on a design yet. On my copy stand I usually run 4, 2-20's and 2-45's as shown but I have shot with 3, 2, 1 & none. I am in a completely sunlight free basement and I turn off all lighting except what I am shooting with. Still learning all this, at least Amazon no longer suppresses my listings for not having a pure white background...lol

BTW....I want to thank everyone in this group for all the help and guidance you have all given me. I have been in some forums and there is constant bickering and trolls. This is a great group and I am sooooo glad I found it...Thanks everyone...! Hope to learn a bunch more yet even though the wife is starting to raise her eyebrow about all the new toys...lol

SV...I'm not fond of the side-lighting effect. The highlights on the edges of the features are very far from the "in-hand" look. You can probably keep lighting the same way you're doing now, but block off the lower part of the light to keep the high-angle illumination, and maybe get a better effect.
