ExtremeShot Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I'm looking for a flexible lamp for my reloading bench. I'd like to have a lamp like the one attached to my grinder/mill/drill press (see the attached picture). I want to be able to mount it to the back or side of my bench but I don't want something that sits on the bench. I've checked out Sears and Cummins and I surfed Lowe's website but I still haven't found anything. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devildogmech Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 There was a "you-tube" video a gentleman did about his Lee loadmaster (?) press... He installed a LED light over one of the stations.... I E-mailed him on how he did it (Battery or wall powered), but never heard back... Anyone have an idea?

ExtremeShot Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 That sounds pretty cool but I need something that will light up my bench so I can see during cleaning, filing, etc. Here's my bench: There was a "you-tube" video a gentleman did about his Lee loadmaster (?) press...

CenTX Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 What about just hanging a flouresent 48" shop light fixture from the ceiling over the workbench? They hang by a chain on each end so it is easy to adjust the height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrawandDuck Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) Flourescent lighting is the best if you are looking to light your entire work area. The small flexible lamps are good to use to focus the light on the reloading shell plate. Do you have a way to hang a 4" double tube flourescent fixture? Lowe's has the models that plug directly into a outlet instead of direct wire. By the way, Lowe's is the BEST place to buy! Randal Bob beat me to it, but I got pictures!!

WestWorld Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have something similar to this... Helps dealing with small items or really checking out a cartridge when needed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have an old luxo-style lamp on a custom base. Works pretty well and I can move if around from close up while loading to wide-area for other stuff. I've not found a good LED lamp that plugs into the wall yet.

ExtremeShot Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Thanks for the help guys. I agree that hanging a light above would be best but I was trying to avoid having to run more wires and install a new breaker. I know they also make them with a plug-in, however, I'd have to run the wire up to the ceiling (from the hanging light), then over to the wall and down the wall to the wall socket. This is why I was looking for something that would clamp to the table. One of these below may just do the job. Thanks again guys, Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Here's my setup. The base is custom because I didn't like the old clamp-on one, but it works the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkbrd Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Lowes sells a small clip on lamp that clips to the rizer post for your case feeder you can aim down on the shell plate. Works great even comes in blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket35 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Here is my set-up. I got the lamp at Walmart for $7.95- works great with a 40w bulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R/T Performance Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Walmart has the longer clamp on style to like 15 bucks I think. Hey Rocket I like the dog food bullet dispenser LOL. Would never thought that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
