Help on how to get this light working?

[westward10]

Rob has already posted,what i was thinking,but there is a very good reason,that work lamp is designed to be DC...if the OP is not aware why this is,he may want to consider getting an overview of the project,by someone who does.

It might save either the OP,or whoever uses the machine in the future,the injury incurred,when going to place the chuck key,in a stationary chuck-that isn't.

Ah yes good point, an oversight on mine.

Well you've made something dangerous. Well done!

There is a reason it needs to be supplied with DC not AC

Thought you needed 25v.

Where do the blokes,who only talk about lathes,have their Christmas party?

At the Boring Bar.

What sound,does the turner's dog,make?

Swarf,swarf.

See how much fun,engineering can be ...
