Holds to the lathe, gives good light and is very sturdy Update:it falls off if the lathe vibrates. I would look for one with a stronger magnet.

44 Leds Waterproof Magnetic Work Light With 19 inch Electroplated Gooseneck for Lathe Machine Tools Workbench Lighting is a grand addition to my wood lathe where light is of the essence. The magnets is STRONG when mounted to a steel plate - might need some explosives to take it off without turning the handle. Light level is just what I need for my lathe, drill press, even my band and table saws. The magnet makes the light mobile with just the flick of the handle. I do wonder, though, about the claim of being waterproof, and I'm not going to test it since it works on 120 VAC, enough to considerably shorten your life. Knocking of a star because of this unproven claim. Other than that, it is one dandy of a shop tool light.

Normally don’t write product reviews but I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality and the brightness and I wanted to share a few images to give people an idea as to how well lit my work area is with this magnetic LED lamp. I will say, as other reviewers pointed out, the magnet base needs to be attached to a thick flat piece of metal to hold well.

My reason for purchasing this light was to illuminate the workpiece during turning on my wood lathe, so my review is very specific to that application. The light is plenty bright enough for that purpose. The magnetic base is strong enough to hold the light securely in place in spite of the lathe's vibrations as long as it is attached to the flat surface of the bed of the lathe. When attached to the heavy curved-metal housing at the headstock or the curved side of the bed, however, the magnetic base tended to slip and required repositioning during use. Another small issue is caused by the gooseneck that connects the magnetic base and the light... it is very stiff and makes it difficult to make adjustments to the position of the light when its in use... many times I had to reposition the base to change the positioning of the light. So, for my application, its adequate but not the best choice.

I like it all so much I bought another one. Has a very bright light, strong magnet and stays fixed where you position it, no sagging in the flex neck.

magnet was not strong enough to hang up, fell off when attached

The flex shaft is a little stiff but this is a great little unit. The mag base is strong enough to hold it to the lathe while turning which is a good thing lol.

44 LED lamp Beacon Work Light gooseneck Wall floodlight with Magnetic Base, Industrial Lathe Machine Data Platform is junk. The light is nice and bright. the magnet couldn't hold a fart in at church. it was attached to 3 inch solid steel plate and it still would move and slide when you adjust it. as for the adjustments it will not stay where you need it or put it. Id have better luck letting my 7 year old hold a flashlight. it constantly keeps falling down and after 3 minutes of getting the hunk of junk into position so it was right where it needed to be, IT slowly fell down and when it came into contact with the "iron worker" and arced out against the frame. Light no longer works. Light is not grounded nor is it properly double insulated. Dodged a bullet on this one!!
