Magnetic Task Light

[Mahuna]

I have several different work areas in my shop, and generally try to get as much light on whatever I'm working on as possible.  Consequently, I've placed task lights in several different locations.  Even though they do provide a little better light, there are places I really need more light and can't get it (on the lathe or mill cutting tools, for example).  In addition, many of the task lights I'm using generate a lot of heat, which can be troublesome here in Arizona - we have plenty of heat already!

 

I recently found this magnetic task light at Lee Valley.  It's powered by 3 AA batteries, so it can be easily moved around the shop.  I've attached metal plates at key points - on the walls, on work surfaces, under shelves, etc.  Now I can get plenty of light wherever I need it.

 

Here's the link to the description of the light:

Hope this helps someone see the light!
