    Lamp Advice.

    Please can anyone recommend a decent work station lamp, would need to be able to clamp on to the table and would prefer led, I've looked at quite a few on the web but any advice would be helpful.

    Steve.

    I've got one of these: http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-elec/pel0...eds/dp/LA05797

    Good lamp at a good price. I don't often use the magnifier but it's handy to have.

        I use a good old architect desk lamp. I have had them with the clamp but to be honest, go for one with a heavy metal base. I have even filled the base with lead on one. Try to find one with metal fittings I have had plastic ones break. One lamp "just" missed landing on the model I was building. A good job I was there to catch it!
