This is the one I have. It's a swing arm, not a gooseneck, but it is a nice strong LED with a replaceable element.

I have a very strong LED fixed onto the wall above my head behind me a bit and just off to the side of the machine. It shines down like nobodys business and is always good light. Its about 4x4 and I bought it from Home Depot.

I use this light that I got from Ikea for $20.

I just got rid of the base and used a long screw to attach it to my table. I'm happy with it.

Super nice light just noticed it after admiring your trim work on that seat, nice and tight!
