I have been reloading since 1971 and have always liked my reloading well lighted. Two years ago I finished my new reloading room and put in 10 four foot led shop lights to replace my florescent shop lights and am so glad I did. After looking at the many different pictures of others reloading areas the one thing I noticed was many were not well lighted. Good lighting might be the best addition you can add too your reloading area!
 
I love me led lights, but if i am closely examining something, sometimes my florescent desk lamp will expose things the led seems to wash out.
 
LED shop lights might have been the best upgrade I could have done in my reloading area. Should have never waited so long.
 
I installed the brightest LED lights I could find in my shop, 4 8' and 2 4' in my 10x24 shop. When I built it I had it sprayed with the foam insulation. Talking about sealing up a room, and insulation. I have no windows but do have a window unit for AC and heat. I'm required to run a dehumidifier to keep things from rusting.
 
I put an LED fixture in my reloading 'closet' (because that's what it is...) and I can only say... what a difference!!! I was running 3 different light fixtures for a while, to get enough light... with the accompanying heat... and I had to have a fan blowing to keep it cool enough. With the single LED fixture, there is more light with a LOT less heat.
 
I replaced my 4' fluorescent shop lights with 4' LED versions in my workshop, my reloading area and every light fixture in my house. Power bill went down 15%
