magnetic led light

These are great lamps - I have 3 of them. One on my WT900 drill press, one on my 12" Atlas lathe and one over my tool box. Well worth the money.
 
I have two of these: http://woodturnerswonders.com/products/aurora-lathe-lamp

No, not cheap but they work really well. The LED is rated for 100,000 hours and all connections are soldered. The magnet is quite strong and the lighting is white, bright and consistent. The flex arm is really solid - no shaking when sitting on my lathe. I have one on my mill and the arm doesn't vibrate on that machine, either. The best thing is that the LED is cool, unlike Halogen bulbs. Just an option; I got tired of cheap lights.
Mike, I am with you. I have one of these and it has been robbed from my wood lathe and moved to the mill. I am going to buy a replacement soon! Expensive, yes but top shelf.
 
Here is a 30 led light I got for my mill.
It has a magnetic base and works quite well.

I added a piece of acrylic to keep the cutting out of it.

Great call @gonzo, thank you for sharing. :encourage:

I ordered a couple of those on Friday morning and they just came in today (Monday), USPS. Amazing delivery time. Seem to be well constructed and have a very strong magnet. The cord is long enough that it reaches the quad accessory receptacle on the back of my machine. Exactly the right size and design to fit my machine.

Here one is on the mill. Not shown is the shield I put on it to keep the chips out, a small ziploc bag. :grin: Comes with the light;) We'll see how that works out.

With the shop lights on, LED on. Almost perfect backlighting. I'm happy with it. :)

Gonzo, How long is the goosneck, and if you wanted to have it straight out, will it hold, or will it droop. I need to do something and even though I am less than happy with my leds , I may give these a try.
 
I bought 2 of these. The gooseneck is about 10 inches. Very stiff, stays exactly where you put it at any angle. Seems to be a high quality light. See my post above. ^^^^^^^^^

The goose neck remains quite stiff. It measures 7.5 inches.
