Fuck that, I'm doing my soldering in the kitchen because that's where the best light is
"IF I'M BREATHING LEAD WE ALL ARE!"
Kitchens often have powerful extract fans so really it's the safest choice
Yeah but a lot of them just vent back out of the front. It really depends on how they were installed. So maybe double -check if you haven't already
Thankfully none of the ones I've seen do that!
Bro needs some 4000K 90 CRI 20W/m strips
This is so true, heck I've even 'baked' some custom PCB boards in the oven to do some cheap reflow... Every man belongs in the kitchen, that's where all the big boy tools are
Back in the old analog days, the recording studio I managed kept around a toaster oven, because old tapes can get sticky because the binder has gotten soft and that's how you harden it again.
Please use a cheap toaster oven or a griddle that you dedicate for soldering, you don't want any of that crap near your food.
Just use normal toaster so you know when they are ready
And where the snacks are too!
People REALLY underestimate the value of lighting. My wife likes it dim on the main floor. I am constantly reminding her that we evolved in caves for 100k years and finally have fucking light and she's squandering the advantage.
We evolved in caves, so our eyes aren't meant for bright light.
Only minor /s, I am sensitive to light and wish more people would be ok with darkness, especially at night. You don't need flood lights constantly on blinding every square millimeter of your yard. Night vision is a thing and it doesn't require goggles.
Same, fuck porch lights and street lights. Just let it be dark damn it.
Get out of here, you cave-dwelling heathen!
Modern bright lighting is great for daytime but one of the worst things we can do to ourselves in the evening or night. We absolutely did not evolve to be exposed to bright (particularly blue/white) light after the sun starts setting.
The best thing I did for my circadian rhythm was eliminate light in the bedroom and set up my lights to slowly shift to soft amber and dim in the evening. The trick is having it transition slowly so your eyes adjust and you don't notice it.
2nded. The lighting should be comparable to daylight, it helps your eyes focus better.
You can even get lux meter apps for your phone.
Same! My 15k lumen, 6500 Kelvin lamp is honestly one of my favorite things. My office is brightly lit regardless of the world outside. My wife hates it and demands I use soft white, 75w equivalent lights everywhere else.
I can live with the lights that imitiate candles, but I go to MY space if I need to see something clearly.
Lighting can be purchased.
But the stove hood also has an exhaust fan built in, and a range for a nice hot toxic solder pot to keep boiling
It's almost like the kitchen was built for electronics
That can also be purchased!
Explain HOW!
Money can be exchanged for goods and services!
This guy gets it
Please don't melt heavy metals in food prep areas.
But that sweet, sweet flavor...
Also you get a free fume extractor.
Get an architect's lamp
