Xenon
Bally, 1980Getting old sucks!
So, I have a bunch of .110 pins to crimp inside the backbox of my Xenon in the garage. My lighting in the garage leaves a bit to be desired, so what's everyone use for portable spot lighting (like clamp on) with or without magnification? Mind you, I'm basically working inside the head on the wiring harness so it needs to be A) portable and B) easily adjustable and clampable to pinball head/body or my head/body.

I've been using these in the field for years.
Great to check for cracks in traces and solder bridges.
That's promising....How's the magnification? Blurry or fishbowl or pretty clear?
Quoted from gweempose:I don't know if this will provide enough light for you, but I often wear a headlamp such as this when working on my games ...
I use something similar to this all the time as well.
Quoted from dirtrider:This guy works well for me. It's cheap, too.
I use a headband multi magnifier but the led's attached to it suck. IMO All led's suck--incandescent in any form will always rule--or fluorescent
When I really need a lot of light, I use a halogen work light on a tripod. The only negative is that those suckers are HOT!
Quoted from robertmee:That's promising....How's the magnification? Blurry or fishbowl or pretty clear?
It works great from 1 to 15 inches from the part. Further away than that and the edges start to get a little soft.
I used to fix 95% of all games on the road, and I've found nothing better.
