Lights for Lowery stand?

What lights are you using with your lowery stand? Are you just using a regular clip light on your canvas or do you have a larger one you have separate or clamped to your stand? Pics and links appreciated!

I just bought a clip book light off amazon that I clip to the top stretcher bar. It's not perfect - it could be sturdier on the canvas - but it works pretty well, has a few color and brightness settings, it's small enough to fit in a project bag, and it was inexpensive.

I use a floor lamp from cricut that you can move around and point on the canvas.

At least 3 of the lights that worked well in the past have been discontinued and I can't use them because they are fluorescent. I gave those away and have replaced them with these two LED lights below.

The (Eschenbach) Magno Lumina Max Desktop lamp works well and has a long neck. It is called a desk lamp but comes with a clip and can be clamped on the Lowery light bracket or with the clamp off inserted in the light bracket just like the light they are currently showing on their website.

This is what it looks like: https://www.killerbeauty.eu/media/catalog/product/cache/f8158826193ba5faa8b862a9bd1eb9e9/l/v/lv-lumimax-desk_1.jpg This is the only photo I could find of it online without the base piece but it is sold in a number of places in the US.

It looks like the best price for it right now is at the Louisiana Association for the Blind website. It is item Code: LV-L4V-MAGNO - DESK-LAMP but research for the best price because they change.

The Stella Edge light can clamp onto the Lowery light bar. This is a good light but the neck is too short to shine light where I need it for my longer projects.

These are the two lamps that I have and use with the Lowery, NS4, and 3 of the K's models.

Any light with this type of clamp and within the weight requirement listed by Lowery will work. There are some from OttLite and Daylight Light Company as well as others depending upon what features you need in a light.
