Comment: What can I say? The magnetic base mount lamp arrived in EXCELLENT Condition. : )
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Holds well ONLY on flat & horizontal, steel or iron
Comment: Delta Magnetic Base Shop Light
Cons:
- Since the magnet isn't as strong as it should be, the lamp only holds well on an absolutely FLAT steel surface or on horizontal & flat cast iron. It holds quite well on the top cover plate of a drill press. The large pulley-door on my band-saw is slightly curved, and the lamp won't hold at all there. Mount on the side of a band-saw or drill-press, even if flat, and the weight of the lamp shade will [eventually] rotate the lamp downward on its base. If that's where you need a lamp, you could remove the lamp-base and make a custom bracket or put it in a mounting hole; or, buy something else.
Pros:
- The goose-neck mechanism, lamp shade, and switch, work well. I've owned similar Delta lamps (non-magnet) for a dozen years and their flexible necks still work.
- Delta recommends a 40 watt A-15 appliance bulb, but a 50 watt PAR20 flood is a much better choice. (See Customer Images.) 30 watt PAR20 flood bulbs also work well. A standard 13 watt compact florescent bulb (equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb), fits, but extends beyond the shade a bit. Sylvania's 13-watt Compact Fluorescent Micro Mini bulbs are small enough not to poke out. Most regular incandescent bulbs also extend beyond the shade, so the glare can be distracting, which the last thing you need while working with shop tools.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Okay, but not great.
Comment: This lamp works okay but the magnet is too weak and it falls if slightly bumped.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice lamp, but requires appliance bulb.
Comment: I would prefer this lamp to allow the use of a standard size bulb, up to 100 watts.
