Customer Rating: - Holds well ONLY on flat & horizontal, steel or iron
Delta Model 25-860 Magnetic Base Shop Light

Our local Lowes was discontinuing this lamp and had a table full of them for $9.99. Even though I didn't really need another shop lamp, that was too good to pass up.

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 13 watt compact florescent bulb (equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb), fits, but extends beyond the shade a bit. 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: - Okay, but not great.
This lamp works okay but the magnet is too weak and it falls if slightly bumped.

Customer Rating: - Nice lamp, but requires appliance bulb.
I would prefer this lamp to allow the use of a standard size bulb, up to 100 watts.
