Just got a nice light for $8.99 at IKEA. I think I'm going to go back and get another.

I have a few of these. 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.

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.

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.
