Harbor Freight has a goose neck LED light that clamps on the desk.
It is battery powered with a push-button on the base.

It does an excellent job of getting light into the specific work area
and is otherwise low-profile.

I plan to modify it to accept an external source of power, probably
DC stepped-down from one of the big 12VDC shack battery supplies.

If anyone knows of USA-made LED lights please send the link.
