 Not real useful Jul 24, 2009
The lamp rating of this light is something like 30 watts, not very bright unless you can find a reflector bulb that will fit, and the magnetic base, while it mounts firmly to a cast iron table top, doesn't hold on the thin sheet metal of a band saw's wheel covers, the most logical mounting place on a band saw. I find that I only use it on the drill press with its cast iron head.
 Full length 'Goose Neck" on this baby!! Apr 09, 2009
First off, I spent (wasted, actually) a great amount of time looking for this type of lamp online from a GREAT many retailers.. Even here on Amazon, I had to search for it using Delta's Part #, instead of "goose neck lamp".. But I persevered and was rewarded for my efforts.. Most other lamps w/flexible necks are only partially flexy.. They are RIGID for about half of their length, whereas this lamp's neck is completely flexible. The magnetic base has a very strong grip as well, so it doesn't flop or twist about once you attach it. In addition, it cost MUCH less to acquire it from Amazon rather than from my local retailer..

 Holds well ONLY on flat & horizontal, steel or iron Sep 22, 2007
Delta Magnetic Base Shop Light
Cons:
- Since the magnet isn't as strong as it should be, the lamp only holds well on an absolutely FLAT steel surface or on horizontal & flat cast iron. It holds quite well on the top cover plate of a drill press. The large pulley-door on my band-saw is slightly curved, and the lamp won't hold at all there. Mount on the side of a band-saw or drill-press, even if flat, and the weight of the lamp shade will [eventually] rotate the lamp downward on its base. If that's where you need a lamp, you could remove the lamp-base and make a custom bracket or put it in a mounting hole; or, buy something else.
Pros:
- The goose-neck mechanism, lamp shade, and switch, work well. I've owned similar Delta lamps (non-magnet) for a dozen years and their flexible necks still work.
- Delta recommends a 40 watt A-15 appliance bulb, but a 50 watt PAR20 flood is a much better choice. (See Customer Images.) 30 watt PAR20 flood bulbs also work well. A standard 13 watt compact florescent bulb (equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb), fits, but extends beyond the shade a bit. Sylvania's 13-watt Compact Fluorescent Micro Mini bulbs are small enough not to poke out. Most regular incandescent bulbs also extend beyond the shade, so the glare can be distracting, which the last thing you need while working with shop tools.
March 1, 2009 update:
I was researching round magnets so as to replace the one on the lamp base - and decided to test Delta's magnet. It could pick up a 20 pound York weightlifting plate, but couldn't pick up a 25 pound plate. I noticed that Delta put aluminum foil [duct] tape on the bottom of the magnet; I peeled it off and tried again. This time, the Delta magnetic base easily picked up a 25 pound plate. Without that shiny foil, the lamp also stays put on the flat side of a drill-press without the lamp shade rotating down. Presumably, the foil is there to protect a painted metal surface from scratches, but without the aluminum interfering with the magnet, it's a much better product.
