[SML] LED lights in the Scene Shop

[sam lunetta]

I have always subscribed to the idea that the lighting where you paint should be the same lighting you plan on using. If you are using incandescent fixtures for your stage, painting under LED will cause some surprises. If you are using cameras, the issues become greater. 

Good luck...
