I'm currently using 2 of this very simple desk lamp with these daylight balanced bulbs. Been using them for 3 weeks so far, only complaint is they might be too bright, but a little bit of DIY diffusion will sort that out. Will probably just tape some paper towel to obscure the bulbs or something if it bothers too much.

Edit: first comment got removed because apparently amazon shortens their links too much for this sub lol

As another "just kinda started after 25 years" and having trouble focusing down on what was trivial some 7 years ago...

The best thing I've done was to spend money on two things:

1) Good lighting. I splurged for an expensive light, but that's not required. One or two of these gooseneck type clamp on desk lamps plus a 5500k bulb will set you back about $30 apiece. One is great, but two, positioned to spill light across your workstation would be better.

2) Head mounted magnification. Several people suggested the reading glasses, I might try those as well, but I went with these magnifiers. The wrap-around versions don't suit my head, and if you wear contacts this may be an option.

Aside from a nice place to work, a comfy chair, the hobby is coming together after my hiatus.
