Task lighting is any type of light that focuses on a very specific area or task. From magnification lights to flexible arm bench lights. One that attaches to the edge of the bench has an advantage over one with a large weighted base, as it does not take up valuable space on the bench. The flexible arm allows you to lower the light to concentrate on a specific area or move it higher at other times to illuminate a broader area. A flexible arm also gives you the opportunity to control glare. 

Fluorescent light sources remain comparatively cool. The small energy saving mini-fluorescent lamp has the advantage of a small fixture. However, they do not produce as much light. The standard three tube fluorescent light produces adequate light and remains cool.
