working with a a naked lightbulb as the single light source kind of forced the blown highlights; exposing the lamp correctly would have thrown the rest into shadow but I can see how it might come across a bit bright.
I am thinking of trying somehting using the text ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ so I will experiment with dialling the exposure down.
Cool. I think it would be even better if you had a filament that was glowing just a little bit and it would add to the effect of it being power. Also, the o in power looks a bit flat along the bottom. Its probably the font, but it makes the socket look a little strange.
I think you could bevel the letters a tiny bit - so that the bevel changes the antialiasing on the edges and adds to the letters a soft feeling, but not really visible to the eyes. and I personally would also use a little bit of AO for lighting the whole scene, to make it softer. You’d have to turn off ‘tracable’ for the bulbs glass for that. Also, bulbs are filled in the part of the coil, with some kind of black matter, so you shouldn’t see the coil from inside. regarding light, it seems coming from a bit higher position than I would expect it - the wire just isn’t usually that much on top of the bulb.
but anyway, these are just little corrections, it kind of looks ok allready.
