That $60 amazon exposure unit was a total bust for me
Bought one of those cheap LED exposure units off Amazon last spring to save money on screens. After burning through 8 screens in two weekends, I realized the damn thing was putting out way less light in the corners. My buddy's homemade setup with a $15 work lamp and some glass from a thrift store frame works better than this thing ever did. Anyone else got burned by cheap gear and went back to ghetto rigs?
Wait, did we both buy the same piece of junk? My corners were so weak I could've burned a design into a piece of toast with the center and still had raw emulsion on the edges. I swear that thing was just a glorified nightlight with a timer. Ended up nailing a $10 LED strip to the inside of a cardboard box and honestly, I've gotten cleaner screens from that than anything I ever pulled off that Amazon special.
