Kevin Kenny Posted March 28, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2022 As we get older “like me” light becomes an essential part of my modeling productivity. I added this LED spotlight to the saw. It’s an Easy upgrade. mtaylor, bruce d, DaveBaxt and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaager Posted March 28, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2022 Kevin, Same idea for the same reason: I opted for the long gooseneck LED - with an ON/OFF magnetic base. It is not low cost, but it is bright, the magnet is a strong one, and it can get close but not in the way. mtaylor and thibaultron 2 Quote NRG member 45 years Current: HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

Kevin Kenny Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted March 28, 2022 This cost me $15 and I was able to hook it up to the saw switch so it comes on when the saw is turned on. thibaultron and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wefalck Posted April 3, 2022 Share #5 Posted April 3, 2022 Such LED flood-lights are useful for eyes getting older - I installed one above my workbench a while ago as well. One can never have enough light ... thibaultron, mtaylor and DaveBaxt 3 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury S Posted April 4, 2022 Share #6 Posted April 4, 2022 I put these in my garage / workshop and the amount of light is significant. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=led+garage+lights&ref=nb_sb_noss Maury Jaager, thibaultron and mtaylor 3 Quote Current diversion: Anchor Hoy c 1815 - 1825 1:48 scale Recent Builds: Fair American: 18th C.

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted April 9, 2022 Share #8 Posted April 9, 2022 On 4/4/2022 at 12:07 PM, Maury S said: ttps://www.amazon.com/s?k=led+garage+lights&ref=nb_sb_noss I saw some advertisement on tv from these kind of light showing 15,000 lumens. They take a reading very close to the light and it is probably true. In comparison in the photography world where they also have LED lighting, they also rate the lumens. To give a true reading, you also need to give the distance because 15,000 lumens at 1 foot or 3 feet is completely different. Still to compare with one of these photography LED light at twice the price, I measured one: 3 times more lumens: 45,000 lumens. So the distance is a major factor and price is also an indicator.
