Favorite Task and Panel Lighting?

[Mr Eddie]

I must have 4 or 5 of these Tertial desk lights from Ikea.  I've found them superior to any other design, and they are stout. They don't sell them online, you have to go to a store, so  unless there is one near you, you are out of luck.  I see they now come with an LED bulb, mine are incandescent.  I have two mounted on a microphone stand to make them mobile, and made a fixture to fit them and insert in the dog holes of my bench.

Lee Valley has a lamp bushing in 3/4" and 20mm sizes to mount task lights to your bench or a table.  Cheap too!

Thanks for the heads up.  I'm heading to Ikea tomorrow so I'll pick up a lamp and then order one of the bushings from Lee Valley.

My favorite task light is the Ikea Jansjo.  I have them on my bandsaw and drillpress, and as reading lights at the head of the bed (which is not in the shop.)

The bases on mine are different from the link above.  They clamp to the machines, like this.
