    Folks, in the UK anyway,…
    Yesterday I bought at my local LIDL store an LED magnifying lamp.
    I hadn’t been there for a couple of weeks, so I don’t know if it’s one of this weeks “specials” or a remnant from a recent week…
    Whatever the situation… I used it today when sharpening a couple of saws.
    Yipee.. I can see what I’m doing again!

    Just under £20 and well worth it to me.

    I’ll leave you with it!

    Regards,
    Matt

    If your lamp doesn’t have a built-in shutter for the lens, make a cloth cover for it or buy a drawstring peg-bag from Poundland.
    Magnifying lamps can be a fire hazard when left uncovered in sunlight.
    I even have a magnifying lamp permanently fitted to my portable Back & Decker Workmate.

    Thanks for that… It does have a built in cover.
    Regards,
    Matt
