Grinder Light

Well, if I had electrical skills, I would consider it. Other than that, I haven't seen any grinder light that I liked. Most were barely long enough to get light to where I need it for sharpening, and most didn't supply enough light. Aftermarket lights only.

Agreed. I have a $20 desk lamp with the adjustable arm mounted to the grinder stand.

My grinder takes a standard bulb so it would be quite easy to find an LED to replace it.

Bulb is a bayonet (push/twist base) rather than a screw-in. Have tried several, but can't get them into the socket.

Haven't found any LED's that I could wire into the 120v circuit.

What type of bulb holder does it have? They do make some bayonet style LEDs. It looks like they make them in both bayonet styles.

Here is a chart of base styles: http://www.bulbs.com/learning/basechart.aspx

And here are some bayonet style LEDs:

Mark, I added a goose neck light to my Ryobi drill press. The only light in the darkened shop is the 800 lumen LED and camera flash... Should have used a tripod...

Garage sale fixture, drilled into access area, washers and nuts... The fixture was wired into the switch with piggy back spade clips... $5. Wal-Mart LED (bulb shape)

I hope the photos are clear.

Thanks

Link looks like what I need. Just have to narrow down the size that will fit in the reflector hood

I have some porch lights that have 24mm bayonet. I tried to find bulbs that were lower wattage and found a very limited supply. I bought one of the adaptors that goes from screw thread to 24mm bayonet. They almost burned my house down. I had a light go out and pulled off the cover to check and the plastic adaptor was charred. This was using a 40watt screw in bulb in it. I threw the adaptors away and went back to the very bright bayonets.

Photos too small.
