Clip Lights for Jewelry

Posted by Katrina Lum on September 12, 2013 at 2:04pm

I've been searching the archives for info on lighting.  Unfortunately, a lot of the links are no longer good because businesses are closed down or no longer carry the products.  So, that leaves me to ask the question again......

I'm looking specifically for clip lights (LED preferred).  I can't do lights that attach to my Trimline because I have a couple of shows with very small footprints that I can't take my tent into.  I will be constructing a surround with PVC for my walls and will have nothing going overhead.  

I've seen some at Target and IKEA online, but they have poor reviews as far as the adjustable neck holding position.  I would love to hear about what you have and if it works or not.  Thanks!!!

    I have been using Fas lights from Ikea, clipped onto my display boxes and screens.  I use 8 in my display and they are adjustable. Here is a close-up photo with item info.

    I'll take a pic of my display this weekend and post it. The lights do hang down but with the height of my tent it works out perfectly

      Did you buy the lights recently? I'd love to know which ones you have.

    I use an expandable closet rod ($10) from Home Depot, they expand from 5' to 10' and I zip tie it to the top tent frame and you can position the rod where ever you want the light directed. I then clip my lights which I purchased from walmart  ($5) to the rod. You can use any bulb in the fixture, even leds but I prefer cfls. The closet rods and lights are both white metal so it gives a very clean unobtrusive look.

      That sounds interesting. I'm thinking if making crossbars, but the lights are tough. I had some shipped and they just weren't bright enough, so back they go.

      Any chance you can post a pic?  I am interested to see how you contend with the cords, etc.  Also If the closet rod is round, how do you get the lights to stay in place or do they hand down.

        I meant hang down. Duh!
