Once in a while I wander off the beaten path because a deal is too  good to pas sup.

I wanted a small high intensity little spot light for my Aggazani B-20.  I wanted a little circle of light  I could direct exactly on the cut with no shadows form all the clutter around the saw.

I stumbled here:

There is like no way to search for  this using their own search engine. They don't have it classified very well.   But it's less than $5.00  with shipping for about the same.   But they are an Amazon dealer so~ ~ ~

So for $9.85  I got it shipped.  Elsewhere it is like $20.00  without shipping.

Three AAA batteries and it's got a rare earth  Magnet  in the base that I was unaware of.  I'm tickled pink~!! 

Here is is in situ:

See I told ya. Easily amused.

Now that is too cool. A thousand uses for a light like that in the shop.

How could you go wrong! There's at least 3 times that in parts alone!

I wish it ran off dc current, I'd love to have it on my lathe in place of the worthless light that's on it now.

It does.

Three AA batteries product a lousy 4.5 volts DC

All you need is a charger from an old phone that you can put a resister on to drop it to the correct voltage.

you can probably run  the thing on 5 volts straight off the charger leads and seal off the others. But a verry cheap resister will drop that to 4.5

I'm guessing a half ohm resistor soldered to the hot lead. will do

But as a lathe light I think it'd disappoint because it is so highly focused. Lots of light in a very  small  circle
