No ac power, but I use this small flashlight holder from LV, and mounted one of those new high power flashlights to it. Batteries last a long time in the new ones.

I remember a thread that indicated that folks were using sewing machine lights with magnetic bases. I use the lee valley one indicated in the answer above.

I have the earlier version of the KJR Beacon from Craft Supplies USA (woodturnerscatalog.com). It is on my lathe and I am very happy with strength of the magnet.

I have two of these and they're very good. Not cheap, but do a good job. No magnetic base but they can be rigged for one. They also come with a clamp base.
