Hi.
I need to get a bright desk lamp for working on PCBs and I'm wondering what is considered the best type to get for this kind of work ?
I see there are a lot of magnifier type lamps with ring lighting, but the magnification is usually only 5x, which I don't think is going to be enough for SMD work, though it might be OK for larger components / general use.
There are also the long LED strip kind.... which seem like they might be good.
I think that either way, I want to go with a swing-arm type ('anglepoise' type) rather than a gooseneck as I've had lots of gooseneck stuff go floppy on me in the past.
What do you use ?
Thanks !
