| + | [* black] ***Upcycling:*** This can be done with anything that has a solid base, but works best with items like tripods (with missing parts) or [guide|115533|broken lamps with the electronics removed|new_window=true]. ***For best results, use something with lots of flexibility.*** |
| [* black] ***Tripod***: If you can find a pair of new tripods which are well built these can be easily used to hold up a pair of lights. | |
| [* icon_reminder] ***A high end tripod is not required. It just has to be well built and stable.*** | |
| [* black] ***Modifying a new low-cost lamp: While not in the spirit of reuse single socket lamps can be purchased for ~$10-15. Disassembly is optional; however, the cord must be tied to the side if used as-is and cannot be easily modified.*** | |
| [* black] ***Edge cases*** | |
| [* 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!*** |
