The more light, the better. When you do not have enough light then you can not see the paint lay down, which can easily lead to runs and orange peel.

HVLP guns need air. The 1/4" quick couplers do not flow air well. The 3/8" couplers flow twice the air. The problem with the smaller coupler is that you start out with higher pressure and since the couplers can not flow the air you get a drop off of pressure. You have to change your rate of movement to compensate and that is not easy to figure out when you are just starting out.
