The LED ring light is quite large I agree. I looked around but was not able to find a smaller ring light that would fit onto the bottom of the mill body (36mm diameter). I don't know if the sewing light would fit but if it does, it looks a nice cheap option. I tried using some small LED spot lights on flexible stalks to light the work area but I found that the lights just got in the way and cast shadows so you really need to light directly above the cutter. If I find time I might make a custom LED light myself as a little project.

By the way, I was also thinking about making my own lamp, but I think I'll test the sewing machine lamp and if it's not so good, I'll make a custom one based on it. The price is good, even if I have to remake it later. There are better options, but they're х10 more expensive.

I dug up a cheap, small, LED goose neck desk lamp, seems to do the job without getting in the way. Old school + LED brother. I'm sure it will be plenty dusty and greasy soon enough.

Hey Sergey,

There is a lamp for the Proxxon. Take a look here...
