    Lighting in Workspaces - What Do You Use

    Hi all,

    Quick question for fellow techs and workspace tinkerers—what kind of lighting setups do you prefer in your service or bench areas? I've been reworking mine lately and realized how much difference proper lighting makes when you're dealing with tiny parts or eye-strain-heavy tasks.

    I’ve recently swapped out a few old bulbs (one even buzzed louder than the copier!) and randomly ended up browsing 50bulbs.com for ideas—nothing fancy, just looking for simple fixes. It got me wondering what everyone else is using: overheads, desk lamps, LED panels...?

    Would love to hear your setups or if you've found anything that makes a difference day-to-day

        If all else fails read the Service Manual!

        If that fails, meet me at the pub and we will discuss it.
