I got tired of not being able to control the position of my lathes lighting.
I had a set of Zenon lamps mounted on the ceiling which was not adjustable and generated a lot of heat.
They also burned out more often than I would have liked.
I set out to make a lighting system that had multiple degrees of freedom and this is the result.
I am assuming the pictures are mostly self-explanatory.
I have been using this lighting for a few months now and it is awesome!
