Rachel Cameron Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Greetings JWS, I finally get a new one. I've usually seen this one used on benches for soldering, electronics and related. I like it, especially the magnifier, but what do you use? Is there anything better, newer, or updated?..or perhaps a DIY/Mod that you like? I know this is one place I might find a really unique answer. Thanks for any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hi Rachel, I always wanted to get one of those lights for cable repair but haven't gotten around to it. Looks like it would be exactly what I need On another note and not to be disrespectful, what is happening in your profile picture? Are you falling off a bed?

osa Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Imho that is still the way to go. I bought one from a drafting supply store that was a bit pricey but well worth it. Came with a quality ring light and an extra bulb. Avoid te cheap ones. Not very stable or dont hold position etc -Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Radlauer Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I have one of those.. Got it at Hobby Lobby for $70? Nice light...stays in place and positions easily. I clamp the wire to my soldering iron on it, with some slack.. It allows me to work in tight spaces and keeps the cable out of the way.
