Those are the radios in the photo. I adjusted the light levels, but it's not bright enough on that shelf.
I sort of stumbled into this collection. I had the three on the sides for years and two of them were gifts from my wife after I bought the first one because I liked it so much. Then yesterday, I saw that beautiful one in the middle in an antique store/junk shop for $18 and had to have it. Now we have it on that bookshelf in the photo to display them all, but the lighting is really inadequate. I want to install a light above them at the top of the shelf to show them off better, but I really don't know much about this stuff in terms of what sort of light I should be using and I don't want to waste my money on the wrong one.
None of my searching for how to light a Bakelite radio brings up anything fruitful no matter what search terms I can think to use.
Any ideas?
One last thought- Bakelite seems to love dust. I'm going to dust them regularly, but if there is a way to light them well without making the dust show up well, that would be great.
Thank you!
I'm planning on painting that wall for sure.
