Light for my bench.

[Lead hammer]

So after walking past it on several occasions, I bought that $50 Costco LED light. The one that looks like an old florescent 4ft one. Hung it up over my reloading bench and it is very bright. No shadows anymore. Wish I would have bought is sooner.

Got the same one it worked so well I got another for the garage and replaced the florescents

Make sure to check that it doesn't affect the accuracy of your electronic scale if you use one.

Yup, great light. Bought one when they first hit the shelves I use it when I really need to see WTF is going on.

I'm really glad to get rid of those bloody tubes

Got one over my lathe and one over my workbench/desk. Were $41 from amazon.ca when I bought them in Nov. 2017 - I see they are like $52 today. Absolutely what my 60+ year old eyes need!!

im rocking the same ones, over every work surface or tool in the shop haha best investment ever when it comes to lighting

My 5-0-5 and 5-10 don't care too much!!!

Seriously, why would,it bother 'lectronic scales? I trust my Lyman DPSIII implicitly.

 

[Potashminer]

Agree - I was wondering about my Lyman 1200 DPS 3, but whatever it reads is the same as when I put it on my Hornady balance beam, so I don't think there is a problem?

Replaced all the florescent double 4' fixtures in the garage with LED a couple years ago. The difference was amazing, couldn't believe how much brighter it made the space. Would highly recomend the switch over.

 

[vagrantviking]

I'm no electronic engineer but I would think LED lighting would be less likely to cause interference with other devices than the florescent style with humming ballasts and flickering tubes.
I should seriously consider picking up one or two of these.

 

[Magellann]

Your probably right, but you would still be best to verify that the scales are accurate with the new lighting.

No issues with my Chargemaster either

I picked up several old bathroom strip fixtures at a local Re store. The kind that held 6 or 8 incandesent bulbs. Installed screw in LED bulbs (alternated std LED and par 20 LED ) and they work great. Have install them over the loading bench, in the garage in the shop. @ $5 a piece its hard to beat them

My whole work area is now LED lights, change out the fluorescent's over the last 2 years. You can get a sunburn according to my wife.

 

[joe-nwt]

There is only a small fraction of the magnetic interference from LED than there is from fluorescent.

 

[Magellann]

I'm still using a regular old style incandescent light bulb that clamps to the desk, its on a flexible shaft so I can aim it where I need to. Its always worked well for me, so I'll probably leave it until it breaks someday.

Exactly and you still have the option of line filtering the device affected if you need to
