Has anyone got one of these and can confirm/deny they are affected by florescent lights? Have been considering buying one but my garage and reloading area is lit by fluorescents. Be an expensive paper weight if it's no use due to the lighting?

I did have a florescent which didn't affect my hornady.
I put up an led tube and nearly need sunglasses to reload.
I havea little halogen desk lamp that I use for inspecting cases ect as well.
Every thing still seems to work fine.
I have had a good run out of my hornady and keen to try their new model to be fair.

florescent light didnt effect my borrowed hornady locknload, to be fair though it wasnt actually on the bench for that long before I returned it
My chargemaster under fluro lights and still get single digit SD so that one is defo a myth.
Have used the CM 1500 and the Lite under a fluoro light for years. No issues. Single fluoro light. The Lite I bought off a forum member. Great piece of kit.
Do the fluro lights supposedly affect the readability of the screen or the accuracy of the throws?. The first is plausible but unlikely, the second is very unlikely. If it can be affected it will also be dependent on the type of Fluro light too. More likely with the older type that run starters and inductive ballasts than with the newer electronic type.
Worst case scenario, turn off the fluro and light your workspace with some LED lamps.
Load in my garage with old flouro's with starters and various other different LED's over the workbench and RCBS seems to work fine. I just place it on a separate table to my press to stop any vibration. Just always check has calibrated correctly after zeroing with the pan with the 50g weight.
I couldn't be arsed reloading without an auto-powder thrower. RCBS hand-primers are the shiz too, have one left set-up in SRP & LRP. Can go knock ammo out of any calibre real quick.
