I saw these on the Stumpy Nubs YouTube Channel and ordered one up. It lives up to the hype. Super bright and it has a very strong magnet. For $20 you can't go wrong. It's a permanent addition to my band saw. Get them at woodturnerswonders dot com. No affiliation.

Here's a link to the lamp (https://woodturnerswonders.com/collections/lamps/products/galaxy-multipurpose-lathe-lamp). Looks like a good product.

Note, however that shipping is $5.25

I wasn't sure and I didn't want to run afoul of the rules. Thanks Mike.

It's pretty nice that this format of lamp has also (and logically) moved to the LED format. I have an old halogen magnetic lamp on my bandsaw and when (not if) the hotter-than-hades bulb dies, I'll be replacing the whole thing with an LED type. I have inexpensive LED task lighting over my guitar bench because my body blocks some of the overhead light there and it's amazing what you can get for a very small chunk of change.

I bought a very similar one on Amazon for about $15 and free Prime shipping.

I have the same model but in white on my band saw and it works great It seems it was marketed as a sewing machine lamp.

I don't have this but it looks similar for less with free shipping.https://www.amazon.com/Bonlux-Machine-Gooseneck-Magnetic-Mounting/dp/B014STNJYW?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2

Another one (actually two) from Amazon -- https://www.amazon.com/EVISWIY-Lighting-Multifunctional-Gooseneck-Workbench/dp/B07ZNR9JCT/ref=sr_1_10?crid=3OZSFEDJLQH5Q&dchild=1&keywords=magnetic%2Bled%2Bwork%2Blight&qid=1589922947&sprefix=magnetic%2Bled%2B%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-10&th=1

I don't personally have any experience with these but they get good reviews and two for $16 would be hard to beat
