I would like to get a magnetic base gooseneck LED lamp for my lathe. I have no reference point for the number of lumens needed for close-up work or for the quality of magnetic bases. I have good overhead lighting. Amount of light makes a big difference in detail work for me.
I see several offerings by KJR:
Supernova: 870 lumens - $159
Aurora: 500 lumens - $130
Beacon: 300 lumens - $72
Highland woodworking has one that states almost 800 lumens for $60.
I would appreciate recommendations based on experience. Until now I used a clamp on double-arm lamp with a big fluorescent bulb. Cheap, bright, but would not hold itself up.
Thanks for your wisdom.
