LED work light

[Peter Tremblay]

Hello all,

I have had, for the last few years, an adjustable LED magnetic work light.

I've had this one. It recently broke as I've been pretty hard on it.

I would love another LED light with a magnetic base but I think I'd prefer something that is brighter.  That might mean a light that is not battery powered.

I want an LED light that is magnetic where I can take it from drill press to bandsaw to lathe, to work bench etc.

Any advice or suggestions?

Peter, I found one on Amazon that is amazing (too bright to look at) with a VERY strong magnetic base. Let me look it up quick and I'll edit the link in.

This isn't the same as I bought and sadly, I cannot locate it in my orders, but it looks close. I will investigate when i get home and get a part number as the one I use on my lathe is VERY bright, has a ridiculously strong magnet, and ought to last a good while (2 years for me and going strong with me banging stuff into it.)

I really like the light Adam Savage used to build his.  https://www.tested.com/art/makers/822627...-led-lamp/ I was trying to figure out how hard it would be to adapt one of my cordless tool batteries to it.  Need a 3d printer probably

Haven't made a base for mine yet though.

Thank you.

I did that but I do like to check the experience and wisdom of those here, hence the question

I like the light.  The question is, how do you articulate it.  Can you remove the light from the end of the goose-neck and mount a steel plate?  If so, you could just stick this one to the steel plate.  The price is right.  Replacements should be free too.

I have this one.  No batteries for me cause of the cold.  I like it.

I have this one too.. only for a month or so, but I like it so far.  Perfect for the bandsaw, moves enough to be very useful

Its very bright.... rechargeable but can be used while charging. Coupons frequently put it at 20-25 dollars and the battery is a standard 18650 which you can replace at home.

I just purchased two of these but there were only $7 each.  Still wait for delivery.   Type in sewing machine lights and see what you find.  

I prefer 110 volts, so they will not need recharge or batteries or anything.
