If you are a factory sparky or do maintenance on machines for small companies...you will know what i am talking about.

Most machines come with a small mobile light attached to a flexible pipe...(a lathe for example) these lights always break and it is a challenge to find replacement lamps

I decided to replace these lights with mini floods...the catch is they are 110/230 volt but the machine lights are generally 24 - 110 volt ac or dc.

Something else i noted was when you use the 230 v connection on the machine transformer ...the light stays on very dim when they are switched off...you either have to earth the 0 V or fit a diode.

i would like to hear what your solution to this lighting problem and if fitting a mini flood is legal...the 110 volt machines lights are not an issue...but the 24 v ones are.
