LED, not fluorescent. Fluorescent has been known to mess with electric scales.Bench is pretty small but works for me for now.
Just added the shelf above the bench this evening, plan tomorrow is to organize all my stuff.
Going to make a View attachment 880327 trip to Home Depot in the morning to buy a light to hang under the new shelf.

The switch-mode power supplies in LED fixtures can cause problems as well. While fluorescent lights may have caused problems in the past, today there are RF emissions standards for all lighting fixtures, fluorescent fixtures included. There is much less chance for interference now, but in close enough proximity it might still be a problem. I would still buy an LED fixture, but not because there is any reduced interference. If you really want a completely benign lighting fixture, a DC powered incandescent would be it.LED, not fluorescent. Fluorescent has been known to mess with electric scales.
KS Plinker I started on a bench much smaller than that and loaded on it for over 2 years. Keep it clear and organized and you'll be fine.
THR is the most useful gun forum I’ve found, particularly for reloading!Generally I’m pretty OCD about things being neat and clean so I won’t be able to stand it if it’s messy.
I’m pretty new to the reloading addiction, I’ve done tons of studying, bought the latest Lyman reloading manual and read it all the way through and spent hours reading through posts on THR. At the present time I’ve only reloaded .308, .270 and .233, and I followed the Lyman recommendations to the “T”. I’m no where near the point where I feel comfortable “experimenting” outside the parameters of what’s recommend, but I’m sure I’ll get there eventually. I don’t have any family members or friends that have the addiction either so everything I’ve done so far is what I’ve learned on my own.
I’ve never actually joined AND posted on an Internet forum before, I REALLY enjoy being here and soaking in all the knowledge everyone has. I find myself spending several hours a day browsing all the various topics of discussion.

I also thought about using some garage space but agree with the humidity issue, that coupled with the wild temp swings would turn something enjoyable in to not a lot of fun...just my $0.02.
I took a different thought process on what to load VS what not to load. My thought is I want to have all the equipment and supplies needed so I can reload for any caliber I shoot, then in the event of another shortage (not a matter of if but when IMO) I can continue to shoot those guns and not have worry about it.
Now with that being said I don’t have tons of guns in different calibers (yet) so that makes it easier for me to apply that thought process for now anyway.
I plan on running some electrical today (need some additional outlets), installing the new LED light I bought yesterday and organizing all my supplies.
I will post a pic of the finished product later today when I’m done.
Which may become blue soonI’m seeing “RED”....a lot of red.
