I'm looking for a quality lighted lamp w/ magnification to use in my
shop, maybe one that can clamp to the edge of a workbench. This
should be handy for super fine work with a Dremel, sharpening or
removing splinters. I know Grizzly makes such a lamp, but read
some negative reviews conserning quality. Also, I was wondering if
incandescent or flourescent is better?


You may want to look into magnifiers you can wear on your head.
They're
made with people like model railroaders in mind, and don't look any
more
goofy than utilitarian equipment does. ;-)

most of your industreal supply catalogs have them. ie Granger, MSC
ect, for about $45-100 in different magnification levels


The "good" brand is Luxo for about $300. If you're not going for one of
those then under $100 lamps all work pretty much equally well and it
really gets down to what features you want. Even Luxo has an under $100
cheapie in the line now.
