How do you guys generally like to set up lighting for wall shoulder mounts?  I was using a lamp below previously, but came to the conclusion it would probably be better to use a different light set up in case it ever had a coloring effect on the hide in the long run.

What do you guys suggest?

Jason, I use track lighting from the ceiling on certain shoulder Mount's and the 65watt miser light bulb's should not have the same affect as the UV rays of the sun. At least I never seen a difference.

Jim,

I think I'll try that myself..  I didn't think that the light bulb would have an affect on a mount like the sun would, good to confirm my suspicions.  Thanks

Jason,

If you need some tracklighting cheap, check out the two photos below. The are brand new in the box. I bought a large lot of items from a going out of business sale and can sell them a lot less than retail. Shipping would be actual cost - no handling cost added on.

The following one says a "4 light" but that it incorrect . .  it is 5 lights.

If you want both sets, make me an offer.

Good luck!
