Bench lighting

Post by rcfanuk »

Apologies guys, I know I’ve seen this before but can’t find it. Anyone recommend good bench lighting, UK supplier preferred.
TIA

Whilst the above lighting is the norm and many builders use this type

this model with led's has taken top spot as the brightest and best
https://cpc.farnell.com/daylight/d35600 ... dp/LA06116
it is extremely expensive. I have found these type of batten lights to be very good for the amount of light delivered.
I know the Chinese ones don't have a very good rep, but I have bought two. One flickers occasionally, but the other is rock solid after 12 months use and for $25 each ( sell as a pair ) they are a credible alternative even with one failing. You just have to add a plug to them.

I just checked the above post and those are the same lamps and much cheaper, but still expensive. :cheers2:

That's what I would like to do, however in the meantime I'v gone and strapped a led battern light to it. Even that was better than sticking with the 3 flouro tubes. If the led was available at the time I would have grabbed it instead of the 3 tube version. :(
