Some of my machines have imperfect or finishes that don't look so good under a certain light, what is the best light to display machines?
Please feel free to include pictures of your collections!

Best light for display: total darkness of a vault without light
Best light for historical authenticity: lamplight or an Edison electric light.
Best light for enjoying: soft white/warm white LED bulbs in a shaded fixture or floor light
Best light for highlighting up-close detailing: same bulbs in an unshaded, direct light
Best light for destroying original finish: full sunlight
Best light for tar & odor to remove: Marlboro Light
