March 12, 2010, Newsletter Issue #107: Shop Lighting Needs

Tip of the Week

Wood shop lighting is a big consideration when doing a woodworking shop layout. Here are some things to consider when shopping for lights:
What type of lighting will you need?
Will there be any natural lighting available?
Will florescent lighting work better than incandescent?
What is the height of the shop ceiling?
Are lights equipped with shatter guards necessary?Even if the shop will be well lit with a mix of lighting sources, it is a good idea to equip each station with a work light. For example, if the station is up against a wall while your working, the ceiling light may be to your back and not on the piece your working on, making it harder to see.
