I have a lathe and two 3hp sawbenches in my shed lit by sodium-vapour lamps. I also have an RC incandescent attached to my bandsaw. Flouros don't survive that kind of environment.

Plastic roadside edge markers are surely preferably to solid timber or steel ones. I agree putting up a sign on the edge of the road saying there are trees near the side of the road is a little superfluous. Still, it might have done Brocky some good. Nice picture of your foot. Theo

Something to do with the light source coming from 2 slightly different directions and assisting depth perception. NFI if that has any element of truth to it, but I can't say I've ever noticed any problems myself with my polishing buffs in my fluro-lit garage (double baton, one "cool white" tube, one "daylight" tube - same setup over my jewellery workbench). -- Dale Porter GPX250 -> CBR600 -> VTR1000 + VT250F-J |
