OK couldn't you make a base that attached to the shelf then hang the light from it?

John,
I see what you mean you found the best way to light it. How is it to turn now with the new lights?    Handsome devil  Grin Grin Grin  Sorry, I almost spilled my hot chocolate.

Electrical, before and after.  The power strip on the left is lights only.  I walk in, flip the rocker switch, and all the lights come on.  The power strip on the right is equipment; I would only have one machine on at a time, so it's not as godawful as it looks.  They are both plugged into the only power receptacle in the garage, except for the dedicated ones for the cable box and the door opener.  P*poor planning on the designer's part.

John,
A lot safer the new way. I do the same so I can cut the power off for everything.

I believe I would be running a couple new circuits in the garage.

In the old house I'd've done it already.  In this house it's difficult to get access to things, and I'm no electrician.  Since my lathe is small I'll be OK for a while.
