This review is from: Grizzly G5683 Magnetic Base Light (Misc.)
They attach to the machine fine, the hood os hard to tighten correctly, the on/off switch is hard to find, the neck is not very securely mounted to the base causing the light to fall down. Look for something better!

Absolute Garbage!!,

I own many products from Grizzly, including their cabinet table saw, 8" jointer and 17" bandsaw, and this is the first time they've sold me a bad product. I would have given it zero stars if I could have.
The gooseneck is not secure at the base, and will not stay tightened. The shade collar was broken on both the lamps I bought so that the shade will not stay positioned, the plastic guard around the rim of the shade falls off all the time, and the magnetic base shifts with even the slightest machine vibration.
It's a great concept, but the poorest engineering and quality control I've ever seen. Actually pretty surprising, considering the usually very high quality I've come to expect from Grizzly.

Neat Idea - But Bad Design!!,

I just bought this, And when you tighten the RED cover to the goose neck, there is only a small brass screw that tightens onto a plastic bulb socket, Very sloppy fit and once you turn it to move the goose neck where you want it, It will crack the Plastic Socket! Very poor design. Its needs to be metal and be clamped on not a screw. Dont waste your money.
