 A real disappointment Mar 28, 2005
By Scott Pointon
"Former Marine, Librarian, Woodworker, Homebrewer"
If the magnetic base on this light were twice as strong, it would be worth owning and deserve a high rating. As it turns out, the magnetic base is far too weak for many of the applications that this light is intended for. Here are some things I tried with this light:
1. Standing upright on a cast iron table (such as a tablesaw) - This thing nearly jumped out of my hand to stick to my tablesaw.
2. Attaching to the side of my drill press - Basically the magnet would not hold the light in this position. Only if I flexed the neck so the lamp itself hung straight down would it even hold itself to the side of the drillpress - and then it was so wobbly that I was afraid to turn on the press for fear that the light would slide right off...
3. Hanging straight down from a metal plate on the ceiling - This light will support itself in this manner so long as nothing bumps it, in which case the magnet gives up and the whole thing falls down.
So, I have to say that either I got a bad magnet or this tool is not worth owning, or both. Since a clamp on light will do everything that this can do and more - I don't recommend that you buy one of these!

Just about what you'd expect. Oct 02, 2003
The first and foremost thing I checked was that it only takes a 40 watt bulb. Which puts just enough light to help and not quite enough if you have a bright shop. The other thing I noticed is that I went through my first light bulb very quick when I had it on the bandsaw. I think the vibration killed the bulb (get a light bulb for fans?), but since I moved it over to my drill press, the light bulb has lasted a bit longer. I haven't had any noticable issues with the magnet, it's strong enough to hold the lamp, but nothing else.

Over rated Underachiever Feb 13, 2003
By Thomas W. Gettys
I ordered this magnetic lamp with the intention of using it with a newly purchased Jet Bandsaw. The magnet is strong enough to hold the base to the upper wheel cover, but only with the lamp hanging down. If the flexible arm is angled to the side or up, the base rotates or slips and will not hold its position. This product might work better if the surface to which it is attached is rough rather than the type of smooth painted surface one finds on the Jet saw. Save your money. This one is a dud.

Other ways to use it. Mar 27, 2003
By Stephen
I like this light for the fact that you can remove the base and use it to directly mount the unit on a homemade bracket or mounting hole on your tools. I found the magnet was not as strong as i would like, but by mounting it directly on my DP with a homemade bracket (connected to the bolts used for mounting the motor) it works great, not utterly perfect, but better than any other light of ths nature.

Just the right size and flexibility of use Feb 14, 2002
Well made, strong magnet, nice flexible gooseneck, just what I needed to shed some light on my bandsaw. It makes a big difference in work efficiency to have a focused light on your workpiece. Highly recommended.
