billyO Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hello all. This isn't specifically blacksmithing related, but it is for a forging project I'm working on. I'm making a standing frame for a watermark I have and looking for a way to provide the lighting. I purchased one of these battery powered tea lights off the net and it's not bright enough, so I'm looking for ideas. There's no way that I can see to swap out the bulb for a brighter one. Thanks.

ThomasPowers Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Look at the various LED options out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 There are many small led battery lights out there. I recently purchased a 5 light set at Sams club that is even remote controlled and the individual lights are pretty small, round and bright with dimming option.

dickb Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 If you want brighter light go for a Halogen Bulb. What is a watermark ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that RadioShack is no longer, I'm at a loss. Any suggestions on how to or where to go to compare brightness? I can't drive anymore due to medical issues, don't live in an urban area and need to find rides into town, so shopping around at different stores is not practical for me. 6 hours ago, dickb said: What is a watermark ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermark As an aside, the watermark in question is from Fabriano, where my Grandfather was born. I actually picked it up over 20 years ago before I got into blacksmithing, and it's a watermark of blacksmiths.....I'll post pics when I'm finished. 6 hours ago, Daswulf said: There are many small led battery lights out there.
