My Dad sent me to Ikea to buy some of these lights, he had seen on some forum a guy using them and thought they looked like a deal... So I bought him a couple and me a couple... Mine I made clamps for... one vise grip, one C clamp... A great little machine light for $9.95

That's a nice way to put a work light where there wasn't one before! And... it's out of the way from what I can see, nice job! :bounce:

Thanks Larry, I picked up a few of these at the local Junkea this weekend, and I gotta say these are sweet. For ten bucks, you can't beat it and the LED's are rated at 25,000 hrs. I just may go back and grab a couple more.

Now that I have Smaug finished and up and running the way I want, discovered that the new forge hood is blocking the lights at the air hammer.
Still mulling it over, then saw this post and wondering how much light these throw- think 4 would be enough light for the hammer?
Thanks!
