Um, isn't your lab a test equipment hospital?  ;D

It's nice to hear it referred to as a hospital and not a mortuary these days :D

Proper benches as used in labs tend to have lighting built in as well.

That reminds me. I need to do some cable management. Currently suffering from plug-a-geddon. And yes I have stacked two socket strips naughtily.

Yeah, I have done the same but the total loading with everything switched on is only in the magnitude of 1 to 2 amps unless I'm using the power supplies, which would push it up a maximum of 2A because I only use milliamps on my gear that needs to be powered externally.

The lab I used to run at PC Magazine had six benches like that in it. We imported them from Germany and they cost a fortune.

20 modern DSO's on multiple strips is still only 600W.
