Ken, just did a test, I logged out of my facebook account, and then went and viewed the links in my first post, no issues seeing those pictures, they are harmless.

Found this on Amazon:
Flexible-Daylight-LED-Lightstrip There is also a power supply and remote control offered. You would need the power supply, not so much the remote control. Looks like you could make an arch out of cardboard and apply the lights to that. Add some internal weight to the ends of the arch to make it more stable.

John B. I'm very interested in your project and I think with some help I could make this for my own needs. I wish I had it today with the poor lighting I'm going through due to the over cast sky. My main problem is making sure the LEDs are going to be bright enough to work. I'm looking forward to your build of the Arch Light your making. It would be nice if this was a project all ready up for sale. wc

If you are having light issues have a look at an led daylight bulb for your desk light. I use one and it is brilliant (!).

At the least I'd strongly suggest OTT or daylight bulbs in your current lights. No longer excessively expensive. In USA easy to come by at Lowes, Amazon, Ikea and the like. OTT advantage is that they are full spectrum - better color. I've very curious about this arch. It should remove most shadows in its plane of light distribution. But, I'm waiting for user comments before I commit. "Be ye not the first by which the new is tried . . ." and all that!

Wad Cutter - here are a couple of pics.
It is an 8 watt bulb but it is extremely bright. Daylight bulb, dimmable. Was pretty expensive, but is came in a sealed tin with a 25 year guarantee! At the time it was all I could get, but I am sure that there are similar cheaper options now. Pictures 1 and 2 show the bulb. Some versions have a "solid" plastic base. Picture 3 gives an idea (maybe) of the light quality. Remeber it is a photo so the colour casts will not be accurate........

WalMart and Lowes has LED bulbs like those Kevin showed. Most likely in other large retailers also like Home Depot and Target. Make sure you get the ones that are labeled Daylight and not Soft. Those designators should be on the packaging. Look for at least 5000K and 800 lumens. You can get non dimmable ones too. Check the package to see if the bulb is dimmable or non dimmable.
