[Boatanchors] bench lighting?

[Ron]

Just a quick comment about florescent lighting.

We all live with it in our daily lives but for some reason , florescent 
bench lighting would give some of our techs headaches.  It never 
bothered me but good to know.

I also picked up a clock that has a gooseneck with 5 white LEDs that is 
really nice for night time operating as the time and and some good light 
is available for the logbook and notes.  Also works well for puttering 
but still have my microscope lamp for the bigger jobs.
