Magnetic Work LIght, 9W Led Flexible Gooseneck with Adjustable Magnetic Base For Lathe Machine Milling Drill Press Workbench Industrial Lighting

I’m not much for taking a risk when I’m getting stuff for my shop but I did here. It paid off. The light has a strong base, it’s plenty bright and I’d get another without hesitation

I have this light attached to the upper part of my bandsaw. The steel case of the bandsaw is 1/16" thick, and the magnet on the light fixture is plenty strong. It will come off if I try forcefully, but not in normal usage.The light is quite strong; perhaps the 5W would have been strong enough.It is very easy to use and can easily be adjusted, but I have it focused where the blade of the saw meets the wood being sawn.

All led lights are better than the old fashioned light bulbs, and this light is great also. The only thing I found is that in order to demagnetize the base, I can only turn the magnet off by holding the top of the switch, if you try and surnames the magnet and you are holding the switch in the middle, the switch will not shut off. Very confusing until you recognize where where to hold the switch handle.

I may be expecting more from the unit then it was intended to be. I'm using it on a wood lathe which produces a lot of vibration that the magnet does not like. It will fall off due to the vibrations. The light and flexible neck are fine if the base could stay put.

This is a good light for my band saw and wood lathe. The only minor complaint is that the mag base will sometimes let go if I bend the light to sharply or to fast to reposition it. The mag base could be a little stronger. Otherwise it is good and I plan to buy another one so I don't have to move it from one machine to another.

Megnatic lock switch does not work at all. Put it on my lathe and could not disengage it. Tripped circuit break as soon as it was plugged in. Just about every part of this is low quality, the light housing, base, lense are all lose or coming unscrewed easily.Unsure if this was a used item or not but the cord was wrapped around the base with a zip tie as if someone just threw it in a box.

Perfect design it helps a lot I’m the best and all I have is the best :)

Bought this to use with my new milling machine. I was going to fabricate something to go around the quill, but that would have taken more time and effort (I did that for my drill press previously).With the magnetic base (with the on/off switch) I can position it so that it lights up what I'll be machining. On/off button right on the head makes it easy to use as well. Plus it's nice and bright.Only 'con' is that I couldn't place it on the mill column since it would slide a bit (too much weight for the magnet(s) to hold in that position. But, placed where I did (under the control area of the mill) it holds fast. Plus it now stays in the correct position no matter what I'll be machining.I'll probably get another one for when I get a new lathe. Or maybe get a second one for use with the mill to light from the other side.If you're thinking about getting this light, just do it.
