Anyone have a source for a good quality L.E.D task light??
I am interested in the IKEA LED lights being sold for $ 10, and just checked their web site....
Unfortunately, for whatever reason, they do not sell them on-line....:mad:
Looks like someone in Los Angeles is selling them on eBay for $ 18.88 each, plus $ 12.88 shipping.... :mad: :mad:
Closest store to me is in Minneapolis..... ....to buy one, I'll have to wait 'til I'm up there, I suppose....NO WAY I'm payin' $32 for one of these!

George that's quite the setup. Are five lights needed to provide enough light?

I'm curious as to why so many grouped together.
Our group experimented with one last week and one light worked just fine for turning a thin lamp shade.
O.K. just asking:cool2:.
Have to admit that I like the setup you have made.
If I can get some of these lights I might do the same thing with two or maybe just one.
Thanks George
My "studio" lighting isn't all that great. I had a beginning turner in there today. I used one light to focus on the tool and another to focus on the horizon. The idea being to make sure he could see where on the gouge he was cutting AND to give him the opportunity to look at the curve he was making instead of where the tool was cutting... Worked pretty well!
I may never need to articulate the gang to get the light in the right place, but I'll never need to add anything to this to meet future needs... Also, the way I made it, it unplugs from the power and from the mount and can be put out of the way for roughing and/or BIG stuff.
I just drilled two holes (if I recall, they were 5/8" apart on center) in something a little thicker than the posts.
On my bandsaw, the installation looks those shown below
I have photos of other tool installations... click here for photos and notes.
I've been having a good time fitting these all over the shop... working out the best mounts for each tool.
