Light or lamp for top of press

[cowboyup]

Say one a while back....some sort of small lamp that clams or magnetic sticks to press to see in case?

Haven't seen one but been thinking about making one with some LEDs or something like that. I had a cheap webcam that I pulled apart. I think it came in a two pack I got on clearance at Target. Kinda taped it to the press just to see if it would work. Seemed to work well with right light at the right angle.

Interested to see if there is anything out there like a light on a magnet. Might be easier to buy than build.

In case what?

No doubt somebody has a better one -- but here's a good one, and it's about $1.99 in the hardware/automotive section at your local Walgreens...





Pics aren't great, sorry (going for response time at the expense of artistic perfection tonight, heh!), but the light is pretty effective, easy to attach and aim -- and it even comes with extra batteries!

I have one of those magnifying lenses with the flourescent light mounted on an articulated arm that clamps to my bench. I just place it so that it shines over the press.

Here is what I am using. Lowes ~$21.99
