Proper tent lighting

We used kerosene wick lanterns for East Wind but they are a little lacking in light output.

What is the correct lighting for inside the command post tent?

As always pics of the real thing would be very helpful.

Brunton Glorb could be a good choice of bright, long-lasting and safe light source, which, in addition to these advantages, will not burn out the oxygen inside the tent and has a reasonable price tag: http://www.afmo.com/Brunton_Glorb_LED_L ... -00079.htm

PS. Hope that your interest to the Soviet Army equipment is not extended so far that it will prohibit you from usage of LED lamps :wink:

If you seek authenticity, solar oil lamps look like the safest choice that you might have. I think that battlefront army doesn't have the luxury of using electric light sources :) For a bit less authenticity and more comfort, resorting to the thing skinner linked is the best you can do.

I suppose that the best way to find something Russia-related is to use Google with Russian key-words (something along the lines of 'осветительные приборы российская армия' in this case, though actually finding something may be rough in this particular case). Russian-languaged wiki may also help. You'd need pictures more than text anyway.

If you're at a loss about actual words to use, just ask us :) Also please feel free to contact me via ICQ if you need any translations. Just remember that we're 10 timezones apart :)

The pics of your events look cute btw. It's a bit unusual to see someone reproduce our army in such detail, but it's a nice thing so watch in any case. Keep up with the good work!

Thank you for the information.

We are tryng to get as close as we can to real life - however maybe lighting will have to be further away from real :grin:

We have talked about putting LED lights in old kerosene lamp shells to give the look without the hassle.

I will continue to search some using Alrick's suggestion of Russian words on Google.
