LED Light for CNC Mini Mill

Posted by admin on December 21, 2011

This light was built from surplus parts I had. A 3W Luxeon Star LED from a headlamp that I upgraded, a cheap flashlight, a heatsink with a threaded plate, and a flexible arm.

The plastic lens was scratched with a brass brush to create a diffuse light. This reduces glare, and is not blinding if you happen to look directly into the light.
