Latest gadgets and such - from the Chalet de Sans Souci
« on: March 29, 2012, 07:58:15 AM »
So I've got a swing arm lamp on the reloading bench, but I've wanted some type of inspection lamp up close so I can see under the top of the progressive press.   I found a neat little flex arm USB lamp designed for laptop users a while back and finally got around to mounting it.



A USB extension cable is clamped to the back of the press with a small "squarish" electrical clamp.   If I come across what I think is a better one I just unplug one and plug in the other.

 

Speaking USB power chargers.



And even built into the outlet

How large an area does this light?  Is it a spot or general light for the entire press base?

It's a small, weak spot, just enough to light the inside of the case to check for powder, which is excellent

I'll be on the lookout for something brighter and with a little more coverage.

Maybe it's just me, but when I look at Alf's reloading set up with its electronic counters and lights and ..., a single name comes to mind

Rube Goldberg  ;D

Rube Goldberg  ;D


Need to remember, Goldberg's background was ENGINEERING.  ;D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg

Goldberg's father was a San Francisco police and fire commissioner, who encouraged the young Reuben to pursue a career in engineering. Rube graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1904 with a College of Mining degree[1] and was hired by the city of San Francisco as an engineer for the Water and Sewers Department.
