Buy Moffatt 95021 Task Lamp, Incandescent/Halogen Type, Magnet Base

Customer Ratings:

Use them in my wood shop on everything; lathe, band saw, carving station, drill press. 100 watts of task lighting the helps my old eyes see much better. Love the stiff neck that stays in place even on the lathe.

I almost didn't order this based on a previous review. Either the company (Made in USA, by the way) changed the magnetic base or the previous reviewer had a "bad" magnet. This seems unlikely. The lamp is heavy-duty: thick gauge cord, amazingly robust gooseneck and a solid feel to the switch.

I put it on the cast iron base of a die filing machine and had zero movement from the magnetic base even though I really tried. The only "problem" was getting the magnet loose when I decided to place it on a different position on the machine.

I've used other, very expensive, machine lights and in terms of quality and function, it's very comparable. A very fair price.

I personally don't think the magnet-base is powerful enough for how rigid the gooseneck arm is. I appreciate the rigidity as the lamp holds in place very well. However, whenever I attempt to adjust the lamp, the magnetic base breaks free and the lamp comes loose. I am placing it on a pretty thick and solid metal base.

I'm sure this is a good product for some, not quite what I wanted. The arm could loosen up over time, but I'm not sure that is what I really want.

The bulb cover is plastic not metal, and the switch is oddly located at the top of the lamp (which I can see in the picture but mistook for something else).

Overall a solid product that was not right for my application.
