Please share your solutions.
My humble light source finally gave up.
Thanks in advance, Bill

Bill Ikea has a nice led light that plugs in, $10.

Yes, I remember TomS posting this. I need to get one now too.

I use this IKEA Jansko and it works great. Nice heavy base and long flex neck. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20169658/

Ugh, I wish that lamp didn't look so perfect. The trip to IKEA from where I live is a brutal one...

Hey Ros...
They ship it don't they? If not, I can get one and ship it out to you if you want to pay for it.

Golly thanks folks.

I will see if I can find it on Amazon. If not I will happily take one of you up on your offer to grab one and ship it to me.

I continue to be impressed and inspired by your generosity Jason.

This one is battery (AAA) and really works well. I got like 3 or 4 on my rack. $9.34 free shipping with prime at Amazon.

Just got one of the above battery powered LED lights but with 2 heads so it goes between the 2 TTs without having to drag another power cable about.
Also it has 2 settings for more or less light in each head.
Works well so far.
Got it for a few bucks from Hong Kong on the bay.

It works great for me. I figured being off the AC grid is better all around for phono use. You don't have to worry about any transformer induced noise if there is any. I know it's being anal with wallwart being tiny and all but, hey, it's an anal hobby.

Also it's very easy to move around without the attached power cord.

Berndt · « **Reply #19 on:** 18 May 2012, 05:18 pm »

No doubt Rim, I grow more anal all the time. I thought it was just cause I was aging, now I realize analog is to blame.
Got two of the clip ons, BTW, so far so good.
