Bimini15 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2018 I just got me one of these, with a led bulb. Plenty of light, plenty of flex, and only $15 on Amazon. The only downside is that my daughter has already snatched it for her room. But I have another on the way (which will no doubt be snatched by my other daughter...)

Edward Snowden 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2018 This is what I use. But, I did not mount it to the base it came with. Instead, I use zip-ties to secure it to the post on my vise. One of the bet ghings about this lamp is length of the gooseneck. It allows you to position the light anywhere you want. desk lamp: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00385941/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobHRAH 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2018 Speaking of lamps, does anyone have a recommendation for a vise mounted cordless lamp. The Flyshop in CA has one for about $25. It appears to be the same as Cabelas which has limited (4) reviews, 3 of which are very poor. Thanks, Bob H Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The little LED flashlight just doesn't give off enough light. A friend showed me to a 4x zoom flashlight that he bought, that fit the clamp perfectly. He had lots of light, plus he could zoom in for more intensity, or zoom out for bigger coverage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 The above pic will give you an idea of just how long I have had mine. Probably been in use for at least the past 12+ years at the rod building bench. I'd say I have got my money's worth out of it lol. Has been knocked around beat up bent and all sorts of stuff and once the arm finally got broke I used the desk mount to mount it to the wall and it is still alive and kicking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
