What do you guys use for light?

Harware store type clamp lamp. Clamp to magnet. Magnet on stove. Eureka.

have been using a flashlight as well, but I just got one of those headlamps didnt even think to use it there

What do you need a light for?

After cleaning it a few times you should be able to do it in the dark blindfolded.

Bigjim13 I started using a headlamp that I had laying around. While it might seem like overkill it allows me to have my hands free especially when cleaning out the burn pot on my Castile while using an inspection mirror.

LED headlamp....works great.....good for other things too!

5 years with the stove I don't need a light nowadays but
back when I did need one I'd just clean it during
the day and pop up the shade on the picture window
in living room.

LED head lamp x2! Things are sweet, great for cat fishing too.

led headlamp. signal mirror for checking vent pipe.

metal drop light with a clamp. Clamp it to the door (carefull of the gasket) so that I can move it to where I need the light and even just plop it into the firebox, lights up the whole thing. Clean half at a time, move it and clean the other half. Not sure if the P61 and the P68 share the same box though. Plus even with a 75 watt bulb the metal does not get hot.

Fish cam works good for the vent!

i have a magnetic led flood/spot that i affix just above the door when cleaning, used to use a "snakelight" but its a bit cumbersome

Dammit! Now you tell me....
The past two years all I've been using is a "bud-light". I couldn't see any better with one, so I tried another. And another. And so on. It hasn't done a damn thing except give me a head ache! :sick:

Actually... Just the overhead light in the living room provides enough light to see. I'm essentially brushing/vacuuming every square inch of the inside anyway so I do it kind of methodically.

I use one like this....."look ma, no hands!"

I use a rechargeable led worklight that I got for Christmas. It has a holder that clips to it that has a magnet on it. Then I can stick it up somewhere and have both my hands free.

There you have it folks the definitive answer to all work area lighting questions. The OP can mark this thread problem solved and go get a Bud Light.

I don't use any extra light when cleaning usually, just the overhead lights in the room.

If you want to continue to use the mini mag and have both hands, you can get one of these-

LED headlight as well (just did my stove today).

Goes well with the NIOSH n95 disposable mask and disposable gloves - I look like a total dork.

Wow burn1 I like that. Being a maintenance guy in a big facility I always have a leatherman and a flashlight. Always had a 2 AA maglight, but recently went with a streamlight 2 AA LED. Great light. When using the light I always have the end covered with electrical tape. This way I always have a piece to hold something, tape a sign, retape a splice and keep it comfortable on my teeth when I am working in a dark place and need both hands to see. I also use this method when cleaning the stove. Maybe I'll look into one of those things.
