... let there be light ...

I need what I'd call a "task light". It would be something like and Anglepoise lamp so that when I, say, hand-cut a joint, I can actually see the thing!

Any recommendations please?

The good news? Looks very smart. Very neat and I'd quite like one or two myself.

The bad news? Not available online.

Seconded - they're excellent I've got one I use when using the lathe

Yeah, no Ikea in Cornwall - one of the bonus points for the place... I could do with some suggestions myself; I went through a rash of braking the darn things and am a little embarrassed in the task light department at the mo.

Cheers, Alf

I use this. Much better for close-up work in my opinion.

Yes Alf, a definite plus!

Still, this leaves us with a prob.

Thanks brianhr but I'm also wondering whether a free-standing or clamped one is best?

What about the "bulb vs LED" debate too?

I used to use a halogen work light from screwfix - plus points it was very bright , minus points it was also very hot - and eventually it set fire to a heap of shavings and incinerated itself. (but fortunately not anything else arround it)
