| - | [* black] ***Upcycling:*** This can be done with anything that stands on a base but works best with heavy bases like a lamp with any damaged parts (and electrical components) removed. ***For best results, use a object tall enough have flexible light positioning.*** |
| - | [* black] ***Tripod: NOTE: a high-end tripod is not required; it just needs to hold your bulb and lighting stable.*** If you can find a pair of cheap tripods with critical parts missing, many will hold most lights without an issue. These are usually discarded or let go of for pretty much free. |

| + | [* black] ***Over the top:*** This method requires specific setup conditions and may not be feasible without a dedicated workshop. However, this can result in more even lighting when possible, and reduce the amount of bulbs needed down to one ~1,500-2,000+ lumen bulb. |
| + | [* black] ***Side clamping: This can be used in a pinch, but is far from ideal due to limited placement options. Unless conditions are favorable, pick a better method!*** |
