is a workshop lamp assumed to be the brighter portable light you would use to provide additional lighting when needed not the overhead lighting in a workshop which is already brighter than most ambient lighting?

From a brief research,seems that workshop usually have pretty bright lights.
Garage work surfaces need bright ambient light and strong task lighting.
High-intensity lights (halogen, LEDs, and others) are great for over-bench task lighting. An LED task light with a flexible goose-neck puts light where you need it.
If your garage has a finished ceiling, recessed fixtures (can lights) are inexpensive and are good for task and ambient lighting.
Ceiling-mounted fluorescent light fixtures are the classic, low-cost solution for workshop lighting. A two- or four-bulb, 48-inch fluorescent fixture costs less than $50.

basically, is this what is generally meant by 'workshop lamp'?

yes the workshops seem to have bright overhead lighting and even brighter more portable lighting. which of the two do you think is meant by 'workshop lamp'?

I would say most workshop lights are quite bright. But it is interesting that there are alot of variation of workshop lights though

Are we going to table lamp variations for workshop?

Workshop is vague but im assuming they are going for brighter than a typical lamp but not like THE SUN or a brightness that actively obscures vision. 75-85 area is my assumption

I thought workshop lamps were these?
If that's the case, I would go a bit lower (~70) since operating lamps and headlights are brighter? the light from a workshop lamp doesn't seem concentrated
not sure though...

oh right! maybe this is like when i gave "olympic swimming pool" as a clue last game and was hoping you guys would guess "pool, but deeper". 70-75?

Well, in theory workshops have brighter than usual lamps due to needing to see what you are crafting. (The reality when I was learning how to weld is that we were in a circus tent with ventilation and shit lamps)

this poses the question where would you put 'lamp' on the scale? and i'm not really sure. is indirect daylight 50? yesterday when researching i felt 'workshop lamp' should be slightly higher than 80 and now ~70 feels right.

Nah daylight is above 50 surely. Daylight is fucking bright, gotta have sunníes if you’re in that shit directly. I’d say like corridor lighting is about 50

Bright enough to see everything fine but not really able to dazzle easily

Oh you said indirect daylight? Like when it comes into a room through a high window? I’d say that’s around 50, maybe skewing slightly above (55?)

I'm cool with 75 if no one wants to go 80/85
@shiki, I have a lot of trouble with going too low here

i am happy pushing back to ~75 based on this:

it is hard to create the scale as i think the max lumens/watt leds are still only 85 or so which has led me to wanting to go lower, as i was thinking there are probably three or four tiers between theoretical max and the brightness of workshop lamps.
