Goodness Dave you sure have  nice setup buddy.  Something I can only dream of.

I have one almost like that but how are the bulbs changed?  That is why I have another plus two are really good also.

I use a nice LED worklight on a tripod that I got at ACE.


I used to use several of the clip-on floods, but the LED is a huge improvement.

I also have some magnetic-base gooseneck lights that can be on the headstock or the BS as needed.

I got one of these for task lighting:

adjustable color temperature and brightness

I have some stands to put it on, haven't figured out which one I'll use yet

Amazon had these for $5 off a few weeks ago

Thanks, John

Here is a video I did on lathe lighting. https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=VsAH9ZWLN_c

Sweet lathe! 

Here is the light I just bought a week ago for $17.  I put 5 of my 1" rare earth magnets on the bottom and it sticks VERY well on the side of my cabinet.

I put it sideways on the side and it will extend very well for lots of light with a 100w led.
