Here are some pics (finally) of my casting setup. I'll walk you through it.
Here is the bench. I have a Lee 20# melter and RCBS LAM2 sizer. There are three lamps around here. Two movable and one stationary under cabinet. I have the big black one lowered down to the sizer area so I can see what is going on. Notice it is lower than my eyes and close to where it needs to be. The shorty on the right side is lighting up the melter so I can check levels and keep an eye on quality of melt. The rubber mallet hanging up is my sprue plate smacker.

Here's the Lee melter with goodies in it and a close up of the unmelted goodies. Lyman thermo.

Cheap fan above the melter draws up fumes and blows them out the garage door. Works for now and was $2 at a garage sale.

Supplies, molds, gas checks in a box stored underneath bench.
