Magnetic Work LIght, 9W Led Flexible Gooseneck with Adjustable Magnetic Base For Lathe Machine Milling Drill Press Workbench Industrial Lighting

I’m not much for taking a risk when I’m getting stuff for my shop but I did here. It paid off. The light has a strong base, it’s plenty bright and I’d get another without hesitation

Bought this to use with my new milling machine. I was going to fabricate something to go around the quill, but that would have taken more time and effort (I did that for my drill press previously).With the magnetic base (with the on/off switch) I can position it so that it lights up what I'll be machining. On/off button right on the head makes it easy to use as well. Plus it's nice and bright.Only 'con' is that I couldn't place it on the mill column since it would slide a bit (too much weight for the magnet(s) to hold in that position. But, placed where I did (under the control area of the mill) it holds fast. Plus it now stays in the correct position no matter what I'll be machining.I'll probably get another one for when I get a new lathe. Or maybe get a second one for use with the mill to light from the other side.If you're thinking about getting this light, just do it.

Mounted on a 9x42 milling machine, the light is just right for illuminating the 6" machine vise on the milling machine table. Magnetic clamp is OK, works best in the flat position. I have it clamped to the side of the DRO display head mounting arm. Magnetic clamp holds lamp, but moving the lamp, i.e. flexing the arm, in certain ways can dislodge the magnetic clamp when mounted vertically. Cord is long enough, but could always be longer, for those who don't have a 110v. outlet on the side of the machine. I am well pleased with the overall performance of the light and the amount of lumens it produces. Too many more lumens and the reflection off the machined vise jaws would reflect back in your eyes when you get in close to the mounted work piece. On-Off switch on the head of the lamp is handy and has a positive click operation. I would recommend buying this light, I believe it reflects great value for your money spent!Bob Rauperstrauch

Perfect design it helps a lot I’m the best and all I have is the best :)

I may be expecting more from the unit then it was intended to be. I'm using it on a wood lathe which produces a lot of vibration that the magnet does not like. It will fall off due to the vibrations. The light and flexible neck are fine if the base could stay put.

VERY disappointed!!!!!!! BbThe light itself was great but the rest of its construction was piss poor. The flexible neck was very stiff and would only bend slightly was spring back. The magnet was so weak it fell off my lathe running with nothing chucked on it. With the neck fully screwed into the magnet the magnet on/off switch would not work (which I got to work by putting a thin washer between neck and base) and when you went to position the light it kept coming loose from magnetic base. This is definitely NOT worth the $67.00+ price tag!!!

This lamp comes packaged securely with solid padding. The joints in the neck of the lamp are stiff, so it holds its shape well and stays in the right position. The black plastic finish is easy to grip. Minimal assembly required - just screw the neck into the base. Lamp's light emission is extremely bright. The power cord is fairly short, so use of an extension cord is probably required for jobs outside of the house. This lamp gets the job done!

I have this light attached to the upper part of my bandsaw. The steel case of the bandsaw is 1/16" thick, and the magnet on the light fixture is plenty strong. It will come off if I try forcefully, but not in normal usage.The light is quite strong; perhaps the 5W would have been strong enough.It is very easy to use and can easily be adjusted, but I have it focused where the blade of the saw meets the wood being sawn.
