those lights from ikea are nice. here is a suggestion for something else from ikea

RAIL MOUNT:
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50072645

PARTS CUPS/TOOL CUPS:
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30184446

WIRE BASKET: (holds stuff nicely, I use this in my kitchen)
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90072648

MAGNET KNIFE RACK: (holds screwdrivers, putty knives, etc) - also good for finding screws lost in carpet, however i would use something more powerful

its always nice to have a workstation set up how you like it. Makes modding more fun and more productive.

very nice, I like those parts bins/drawers on the top (under the shelf you soldering iron is on), where'd you find those?

I checked online yesterday, I didn't see any there...

If your in for some ideas, I would use this: WOOD DRAWER SLIDE for the middle light, so that you can extend it out for better visibility when needed.

Of course, mount the small side to the desk, and the big side to the light.

Looking great though.

Kuddos on the work bench it looks great, never thought of putting some glass down. Great idea though, mine has holes and burns all over it. You could even find a cheap change drawer and put that on the side to put screws into while taking apart projects. They usually have a curve in them so getting the screws out would be a simple.
