The 10 Best Lamps For Machine Tools

You can point the single-watt LED on the BiNFU Gooseneck (around $49) anywhere you need it, thanks to its flexible stem. It attaches to your work surface magnetically, so there are no clips to break or clamps to dislodge while you're toiling away.

You can stick the Auoon Rotatable (about $16) to your workbench using its magnetic base, or you can simply hold it in your hand, as the nonslip grip makes it easy to wield. The head turns a full 360 degrees, so you can get the beam into any nook or cranny.

Enjoy illumination from on high with the BiNFu LED (appx. $40), as the two-foot arm is tall enough to stand far above whatever you're working on — and far out of your way. The beam is highly concentrated, providing a pinpoint focus on the task at hand.

The Master's Eye Heavy Duty (appx. $62) has a wide beam set at a 90-degree angle, ensuring every part of your work area is lit up. It stays in place well, with little risk of becoming dislodged even if the machine you're using is vibrating heavily.

You can power the FishNu Rechargeable (around $28) using the included USB cable, enabling you to juice it up from laptops, battery banks and even cigarette lighter sockets, as well as the mains, so you might want to consider keeping one in your car as well as the garage.

The BiNFU Cree (around $30) is made using weather-resistant aluminum, so feel free to use it out in the pouring rain if you need to. If you stay inside with it, though, that rugged construction will help it survive all the rigors of a busy machine shop.

The Stalwart 75-WL2019 (about $13) uses three AA batteries, offering you a completely cordless operation. Not only does that give you one less thing to trip over, but it also lets you take it with you wherever you go, regardless of what machine you're working on at the time.

The BiNFU Inspection (around $30) has an adjustable focus that enables you to set the beam location and intensity to your liking. It also has three dimmer levels, so you can see what you're doing clearly without blinding everyone else in the shop.

There are three joints on the Fulton Woodworking Tools 1294 (about $17) to give you a wide array of positioning options. The magnetic base can be stuck directly on the side of your machine, but don't be surprised if you have to find some way to bolster it.

With a 25,000-hour bulb life, the PSI Woodworking LLED3 (appx. $73) will provide years of faithful service with little maintenance required. That makes it a convenient model, especially considering that the nine-foot power cord gives you a variety of placement options.
