My new task light, made from a spare LED torch and a Gooseneck from Amazon. Both ends of the Gooseneck had 1/4” 20 male threads that didn’t look overly durable. I decided to make a couple of stainless steel spigots that screw onto the ends but slip over about 18mm of the main body of the Gooseneck. The spigots are a snug fit providing support. Next I made a clamp for the torch and a couple of thumbscrews from aluminium alloy. The smaller thumbscrew has a plastic thread to help prevent damage to the body of the torch. The top spigot fits into the clamp and the lower into a retort stand base I already had. I may make a magnetic base at some point or make something to fit an existing mag base.
