I make these little flexible? LED lights and have them on all of my machines (and in various other places around the house I need a bit of light).? They're based on a 48-SMD LED 12v "festoon" panel that are designed for car interior dome light replacement. I make a plate to stick the panel to and use a mini switch and some 1/2" Loc Line tubing.? I machine a base from some aluminum and thread it for the Loc Line. I fish the wire down through the Loc Line and out the base. I usually machine the underside of the base to hold a
Neodymium magnet I salvage from old hard drives but on this one for my saw I decided to just make a small bolt-on mount since I don't need to move the light more than the Loc Line will handle.? For stand alone lights I use a 12v wall wart to provide power.? For my machines I use an old PC power supply and tap into the 12v and 5v rails so I can power lights and things like my DRO setup.
Total part cost for one of these lights is under $6.
