Re: [VFB] Lighting for tieing

[mark romero]

I've used different types of light(s) in the 10 yrs. i've been tying, 
including the halogen type, and i found them to be to glare producing. The 
hooks were always shinning way to much when i first went to thread them and 
that just drove me nuts. I now use the Ott light, and i LOVE it. It's very 
even light, and the color is true. And, it seems to be much easier on my 
eyes. I'm sticking with it. mark

I have been banished from the main living areas of my house to tie my 
flies. She who must be obeyed has had it with size 16 hooks in the rug and 
marabou floating thru the house!! As the result of completing a total build 
out of my basement I have the luxury of completing a true 'tying' shop. I 
currently have 4 4' 32w fluorscent lights in this area of my shop for 
woodworking and visibility into the icebox for beverages. I am looking at 
either halogen or xeon lighting for my tying space. I like halogen much 
better than Ott lighting and use it in my CAD/CAM/drafting computer design 
spaces elsewhere in the house.
I am curious as to what other people use to ensure they don't go blind 
trying to tie.

Let us know

Bill
