Work Light

Ordered this from Amazon and am very pleased with it.  Best work light I have found for model building.

I'm happy that it works for you. What is the brand?  Please keep us posted it it works over the long run. I could use another inexpensive lamp that holds position.

The ones I purchased never seemed to hold position.  I would move it to a position where I needed it and the lamp, over a few minutes would sag at the joint. and come out of position. I was always having to tighten the wingnut and add tape or wedges to keep it in position.  I even tried several of the lamps from different manufactures and always had the same result. I finally gave up and spent way more than I should for a Laguna Tools Chameleon LED Lathe Light.  You can mount it with a clamp or you can mount it direct using screws. Very pricey but fully adjustable and always stays in place.  The lamp has adjustments for brightness and the type of light from cool to very white. I was able to pick mine up on sale.   I now have two of them.

On the topic of work lights. I have a Hadrill Horstmann Pluslite English industrial angle poise from the 1940s. It was for reading maps so has a foldout magnifying glass. It is endlessly adjustable and perfectly counterweighted. The multiple arms are chrome plated. If you can find one, I highly recommend but they are very rare. They are beautiful to look at in their own right.

I have two fully-height-and-brightness-adjustable LED lamps on either end of my shipyard workspace that provide me with awesome light.

 

The AmazLit Desk Lamp - AmazLit Desk Lamp, Desk Light with Clamp, Stepless Dimming & Adjustable Color Temperature Modern Eye-Caring Architect Lamp with Memory & Timing Function for Study, Work, Home, Office, 15W - Amazon.com

 

and the Neatfi LED Desk Lamp - Neatfi XL 2,200 Lumens Adjustable LED Desk Lamp & Task Lamp - Bright, Dimmable Lighting for Office, Crafts, Nails & Hobbies with Clamp (Non-CCT, White) - Amazon.com

 

I have had the combo light-and-magnifier type lamps previously and found that they did not hold position well and never really used the magnifier... I use my helping hands alligator clips with magnifier for that type of work.
