Members thefanninator Posted December 5, 2015 Members Report Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Just got a nice light for $8.99 at IKEA. I think I'm going to go back and get another. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20370383/ Edited December 5, 2015 by thefanninator Quote
Members TinkerTailor Posted December 5, 2015 Members Report Posted December 5, 2015 I like these more, you can really get them inside things when you need to for stitching etc. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20169658/ Quote

They come in both a clamp version and a table top version. They are great to move all around when you are trying to see as you are tooling. Quote

They are great to move all around when you are trying to see as you are tooling. That ever present hand shadow is no more. I also like that i van angle it just right to see those faint scribe lines while cutting. You can take the bases off and mount them anywhere. As well, being 5 volt dc, it is easy to put 3 or 4 into a fixture on one power supply. 5 volts is the same as usb power so transformers are everywhere. As 10 dollar lamps go, they are really robust as well. Youtube machinists have all figured out the hack potential of this light and they mount them to their machines.

Members blueblazer Posted December 13, 2015 Members Report Posted December 13, 2015 I prefer the tertial because I put 4000k LED bulbs in my work lamps to have a nice light in between warm and daylight. It really helps when I need to take a picture for instagram or a customer and I can get more accurate colors. Quote
