FOUND IT !!! the right one !! Han Solo in Carbonite illumination..

With the directional spot shining down from above?

All that takes is a narrow beam angle spot light placed above him.

Thanks Rebelscum !!!

it would be great to know what kind of light (more blue or yellow) they did use.. and also the angle that the light should have (the cone of light), like for example a 12 volts halogen light has around 36 deegres...


I will turn on the light when the other room lights are off...


Alfredo

I make it out at 20 - 21 degrees. Anything that's a good white light should do it. Halogen MR12 would be great if you can get a flood of that angle.

As for how far up, I'd just hold it up there till it looks right and figure out how to mount it whever it ends up.

Thanks Philip,

I wil let you know how it goes..

Regards

Alfredo

A glowing red light in his chest would be a nice touch too

I've always wondered what that would look like. If it was cast in clear and a strong pulsing red light was placed inside...

I've got a can light directly above mine on the ceiling about 2 feet from the wall he hangs on. I just bought a directional can and angled it that way.

I'd like to find a bulb that would give me that look from your pic.

I always thought that a cheap and easy way to make the "floor grating" under Han would be to buy this plastic modular storage shelving and then put an orange UV bar light under it:

You can see from the shadows the light is just off to the 'right' as pictured, and just forward of the front surface...

A clear lens (no diffusion) halogen spot should give you that crisp white light like the original...

Hi again!!

I found it...and cheap!!!

It comes from IKEA, and costs 9,99 euros !!! It is a led light...



And here is my HIC with the light...








If you play with the angle..or even adding a color filter, it will look 100% accurate !!!


By the way, the get the angle, i placed two dark paper pieces near the bulb...

hope you like it..



Alfredo

Nice work! It definitely enhances the look of the prop, for sure.

Sweet!

That looks spot (pun) on!

The only problem I would have is that light sitting on top of the HIC all the time.

thanks for sharing!

The base comes apart, as a fact, it comes disassembled in the box, ..and for 9,99 euros you should give it a try !!! (you can mount it on the roof or on the wall)...

Please look at the diagrams of the last pages....

Perfect! What an amazing piece to have.... Now you just need a fog machine for the haze effect and some of the music in the background!

I do not work for IKEA...


but...



You can not beat that price !!!!

it needs a light blue filter

Maybe..but it looks a lot more blue than in the picture, because it is a LED light....

Hi there,

added a yellow and blue filter + some masking to get the highlights back :

P.S. Perhaps you could reposition that IKEA blue-light more from over Han Solo's left shoulder (=rightside in the picture)

AMAZING !!!

Thanks!!

Alfredo

Your very welcome, Alfredo!

If you'll add a layer of 'tracing' paper between the lightsource and HIC the lightbeam will become a little more softer. The further you position that tracing paper the softer the light will be ... sometimes multiple layers of tracing paper will create the light effect you're looking for.
