[Boatanchors] bench lighting?

[Gerry Steffens]

The item shown is the unit I have used for over 15 years.  It works well for
me.

I find the magnifier of great assistance when working with fixing very fine
wires such as smaller IF transformers of the 1950s.  These units have a
tendency for connection problems at the termination of windings.  The
magnification helps a lot.

Subject: [Boatanchors] bench lighting?

While learning how to work on boatanchors, it seems I am unsatisfied with
the lighting on my bench which is currently supplied by a simple flexible
neck desk lamp.  Sees there is never a good place to put it and wherever I
do put it, my head seems to cast a shadow right where I need the light.

So I've decided to get a better light. I have located the following and was
wondering if anyone out in BA land would caution against this model/type or
would recommend something better.

The light is the very first item on this page.

thanks
