    Bought this cheap IKEA lamp and just wanted to share. LED, bendy neck, long cord and clamp, $CDN 14 so less in US. Cheers. Can put cloth inside clamp to protect cab if needed.

    Great light. I think I like it more than the one I currently have. Thanks for sharing.

    For me, with Amazon Prime it is actually cheaper since Ikea wants $10 for shipping.

    I have gone through 3 of these lights.

    The weak point is the stupid non-standard plug on the light that plugs into the power "brick".

    The first 2 lights have broken wires where they enter the plug.

    I highly suggest putting some sort of strain relief on the wires to keep from over-bending them.

    Other than that, love this light, and buy it in orange so its easy to spot when laying in a pile of parts!

    Also, if this thing runs of 5V (which I think it does) then I plan to mod my 2 broken lights to have a USB on the end instead of the non-standard plug.

    If that's the case, let us know if it works for you. It'd be nice to use it with a small iphone charger cube if that's the case.

    I also took off the useless switch on the cord. Useless for me. Might be useful to others.
