Lighting is something I know I need to improve. I read somewhere of using "daylight" sources at least 6500K.
I'm actually thinking of starting from scratch. The 48" table will surely find other uses.
Please give me your thoughts.
Thanks/John O'Neil

John,
Take a look at OT Lights.
Advertised as closest to the spectrum of light in sunlight.
Comes in many styles. I'm pleased with mine.

Hi John
Take a look at these earlier threads on SoR - where people show photos of their stamp working areas. One is Stamp Work Area, and another Show us your Stamp Room - clean or messy. You'll get to see how lots of our fellow members organise their stuff - and you'll get a few good laughs as well!
Good luck - Strider / Neville
You won't see mine - it's just a couple of shelves, the PC and the day room table.

Thanks Strider...couldn't find the latter thread. First thread showed a lot of variety ( and organization....argh!). The one thing that did stand out was few instances of dedicated lighting.
The more I look the more daunting my task becomes.
BTW.....I'd think hesitate about showing a pic of my stamp area. However, I'd die before I'd show my wooden model ship building, or my fly tying, areas.

I'm going to reset my stamp store environment. What I have now is a simple folding 48" table. On it I have my laptop, my scanner, a simple desk light. Plus lots of other stuff I am using.....catalog (primarily Unitrade), Magnifiers , tweezers, watermark stuff, 102 cards, and all kinds of little containers where stamps are sorted for different reasons ( those that need scanning and listing, those (used) that need soaking, stamps which are not ready for listing (duplicates etc). On the floor, under (sorta) my table are unlisted inventory from auction purchases ( kept in the package from auction house), books re: stamps (topical, color guides, and many Scott catalogs- I have a complete set about 10 years old, and a relatively current specialty up to 1940). Canada and provinces stamps listed in my store are kept in a plastic storage box in zipper plastic pouches, sorted by something ( Large and small queens, GV, Jubilee etc.)
