[Boatanchors] bench lighting?

[n_griggs at bellsouth.net]

Another thing I forgot to mention in my last post is I have/had round 'eyeball' light fixtures that hang from the ceiling.  I put 75 watt floodlamps in them and have them about 2-3 feet above the bench.  These also help 'heat' the shack in the chillier months.
