Polaroid LED bulb no longer available

[Ivan Boden]

Hello,

Just started the beginner class for Jewelry and the Polaroid bulb (see screen capture attached), that is needed for this class is no longer available on Amazon.

What do you recommend as a replacement?

Or, since I plan on progressing through to the advanced course, are there other, advanced options that are cost effective?

Ivan

Hi Ivan,

Perhaps you can go with this one:

https://www.amazon.com/EcoSmart-Equivalent-Daylight-Dimmable-2-Pack/dp/B01MYCFSPL/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2K2XRHVL2DS8B&keywords=150-watt+equivalent+daylight+5000k+par38+dimmable&qid=1584561120&sprefix=par38+dimmable+5%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-5

It’s actually closer to a Daylight temperature at 5,000K, which should give you nice results.

Ok, but I think those were spot lights he used, not flood lights. Does it make a difference? It’s confusing because the specs are not clear on that.

Also, the Lumens aren’t the same, the EcoSmart bulbs are less bright at 1,260. The obsolete Polaroid bulbs are 1,600. I think that might matter because in the video, Alex mentioned the Polaroid bulbs would be better if they were brighter. Probably splitting hairs on this, but I like to be sure I’m doing this right.
