Lighting for mobile tans

[K's tanning]

Hello, just thinking ahead really. I use the black pop up tent for my spray tanning and have usually been lucky enough to either be spraying in a really well lit room or with natural daylight pouring into the tent.
I've tried a clip on light for evening sprays when there's no daylight available and found it kept swinging into the tent or just wouldn't stay put causing shadows. Recently I've been using a small bendy desk lamp and just move it around as I need it. Works okay but does make the client look a little orangy, and of course I still get shadowing.
My questions to you guys is, how do you light your tent? Especially once winter arrives and natural lighting is going to be limited.
Any suggestions welcome.

When installing temporary lighting into any spray tan environment (I.E. the tent you refer to) ensure you use a low wattage lamp to avoid bulbs exploding if over spray comes in contact , use a low voltage system and ensure the lead is adequately out of the way avoiding someone tripping over it.
This may sound obvious but well erm -you wouldn't believe how many do expose themselves and others to unnecessary risk

The key is to install lighting that isn't to bright or spot light like as this accentuates shadows.

Good luck and remember..think safe tanning :hug:
