Function: Tool post lights improve:

    Accuracy: They allow the operator to see the cutting tool and workpiece more clearly, leading to more precise machining.

    Safety: Better visibility reduces the risk of accidents.

    Efficiency: They enable faster and more confident operation.

    Design: These lights are typically:

    * Small and compact to avoid obstructing the machine's operation.

    * Adjustable with flexible arms or joints, allowing the light to be directed where it's needed.

    * Durable to withstand the vibrations and harsh environment of a machine shop.

Power: They can be powered by electricity from the machine or a separate power source.

   In essence, tool post lights are valuable accessories that enhance the operator's ability to see and control the machining process, leading to improved quality and safety.
