My wife bought me a Gasmate BBQ light for my BBQ on the patio of our house, and it makes a perfect lathe light. It is a multiple facet LED light on a long, flexible, spiral-wound stainless-steel goose-neck, for precise positioning of the light. The base has two strong magnets to anchor it to any steel surface, and a G-clamp to attach it to a wooden bench if no metal is available. I place the magnetic base on the bed of my lathe and then angle the goose-neck so the light shines into the hollow of my bowl, goblet, or whatever I am hollowing out. The light is bright, close to my work, and just where I want it to be.
These are available, in Western Australia, in Bunnings Hardware stores. If you are in another country, I suggest you check out your local BBQ shop and/or big hardware store - you should find something similar in one of them, and they are cheap!
Kind regards, James.
