Clip on lamp for photographing cards

[sc magnolia]

I'm looking to buy an inexpensive clip on lamp to use with my photo box for photographing cards. Right now there are LED lights in the photo box but they're not giving me a bright enough photo.

I am pretty sure it Doesn't really matter led or fluorescent, I just want cri > 90.


Do any of you knowof an inexpensive source for a light like this?


Thanks a million!

have you looked in any photography sites like B&H photo?


( mine are not clip on's) but, I know they make tiny light strands to go say under cabinets in kitchens and I wonder if something like that may work? or even those tiny "fairy" lights they sell at say Kohls at Christmas time to shove in a vase? ( that might be sized right to fit in a light box.



just thinking out loud after reading what you were looking for.

I play piano and have purchased this LED lamp from Amazon to use as a piano lamp. It has 2 settings: bright and not so bright. It is also rechargeable, so during use, you don't need to worry about a cord. You might even want to get 2 of them.

I bought a Foldio light box - it's awesome!  Folds flat, lights consistently.  BUT I know I didn't pay as much as they are on Amazon right now.  No way I paid $139 to photograph cards!!    So maybe one of the knock offs would work

Thanks for the idea. I have one of these for my music stand. I am going to give it a try.
