    they come in multiple amounts of LEDs which I think means more brightness, I see 30, 48 and 60 LED models.
    I suggest going on Amazon and googling gooseneck lamps, task lamps, etc. some of them have significant discounts for multiples.
    I suggest the longest neck possible for positioning flexibility.
    the one I linked has 2 for $46 and one for $25. options.

    Do they offer bulk quantity discounts? It looks like multiples of these could be useful...

    My post shows the current price $25 for the 60 LED version at the time of posting about a month ago. I think there's a link.
    They also have 30 and 48 LED versions with less brightness starting at $10 or $17 for two.

    Does it cost more now ? A useful little task light is perfect for focused work. You can also find it while browsing Furniture Row reviews, consider prioritizing functionality and durability to enhance your workspace efficiently.

    When I purchased my Rikon bandsaw I fitted it with 3 of this type lights. I like a lot of light when it comes to my hands close to any sharp object. I figured it would be annoying trying to look around these lights (I’m 6’3” and shrinking) and would move one to another tool. Several years later and I seldom notice that the light head are in my vision, I guess my little brain processes it out of the picture.
    **note** the majority of my bandsaw usage is carving out Tiny Trees and Tiny Mushrooms and the logs I use are firewood size, so the blade guide and guard are raised 6”, 8” or 10” or more. Quite a bit of teeth showing here so all of my hand movements are slow and deliberate. Oh I so wish someone would manufacture a SawStop type bandsaw!

    This LED lamp with 12" gooseneck, I have three of them in my shop, one on the left end of my router fence, one on the left side of my drill press motor housing and one on the left side of the bandsaw.
    The provide a easily positionable, bright, close, very white light for task lighting of close-work tasks.

    The vendor, FAJ, They have a lifetime warranty. I had one fail last week after 4 years, and I emailed the company and they promptly sent me a new one, only asking for the Amazon order number and my address, that's pretty good service.

    they also have a 60-LED model, brighter, I suppose?
