Retirement lights, why are they called that?

[hman]

Vintige and retro look industrial lighting has definetly made it dificult to pick up bargin machine lamps in the uk

hears a good example (not a lamp) so if you need more tools sell the brass plac from your lathe ???

Sheesh!!! Looks like this seller is taking "parting out" to a whole new level - and maybe a whole new "target market" :roflmao:

IKEA sells a nice LED lamp for 10 bucks that's easy to adapt to a cheap magnetic indicator base. I saw that on doubleboost's lathe on YouTube. I went looking for something similar on eBay and bought a couple magnetic gooseneck LED sewing machine lights for my lathe and mill and so far they are working out great. I think I spent 25 bucks for both.

i will check them out, lights always seem to be an issue.

i've got two small and quite nice and compact picture lights that come from ikea, they work realy well i have them on a shelf above the lathe and they point strait down onto the bed and chuck area.
