should I get a light fitted in my laser

[Frank barry]

Good morning all
I am about to order my laser from China
Should I get a light fitted in it? Or is it possible?
Have decided against red dot and auto focus
Thanks for all of the help

Light - YES
Red Dot - YES
Auto Focus - Not really..

depending on the manufactures cost, you might be able to do it yourself with LED's cheaper..

Buy a red dot.

I would suggest getting a red dot. Mine stopped working in my laser and it makes doing custom work much harder without it. The auto focus isn't necessary, I called tech support to order a replacement sensor for mine and the guy I was talking to talked me out of it. He said on my laser the auto focus only works over a very small area of the bed and even then it isn't as accurate as doing it manually.

Frank;
Easy to wire up your own lights-many opotions-LED puck lights work great.

A light is pretty much essential if you are going to be focusing manually.

I fitted a small "kitchen cupboard" flourescent tube lamp in mine and wired it back to the mains input to the machine.
If the Chinese will fit one for you, even better.

[George M. Perzel]

Do it yourself-if you let the Chinese do it, it will be 220v and replacement bulbs may not be readily available .

All machine with Led Lights inside,
red dot- two kinds, laser head one ,combined one (big laser power will not suggest ,cause seems it will loose the power )
Auto focus--most customer will choose ,but it will depend on

Any others let me know

Best Regards
