    Default LED Light Recommendations

    Hi all - looking for recommendations for a cheap LED light for my portable tying kit. I have a couple of the daylight lamps but lugging those around is too much. I've seen the Peak light, but at $140 it seems way too much - hoping for something $40-60 at most. Any suggestions or pointers? I've seen people recommend just the basic LED table lamps, but to get a precise product rec and URL from a regular tier would be awesome.
    Many thanks,
    JW

    Would a head light work?

    If you're near an IKEA check it out. A few months ago they were selling a portable LED lamp for $10. The nearest one to me is 2 hours away or I would have bought a few.

    Depends on what you mean by portable, but I use a Petzl headlamp when going really light, and an Ottlite portable model otherwise

    Lowe's had a LED on a long flexible support that came in both a clamp or pedestal version.
    I opted for the pedestal at about $10. Biggest advantage is super the light weight.
    Trivia: colors are white or black.

    Wally world had black goose neck pedestal led for 15 or 16 bucks. I squish it in the backpack I use for a tying kit on the road. Its worked great in quite adverse conditions. And no worries about a bulb. I use the daylight lamps at my perm station too.
    Sorry don't know the brand
