LED for DF500

[ChuckM]

I've been using a button light with a magnet for my DF, which works except that when the battery is gone, it's gone. I recently came across a rechargeable LED small enough to fit into the fence/frame. The LED operates by a light touch to its face. An extra one is placed in the systainer in case the first one needs to be recharged during its use.

My local store (Bianca Amor's), but Amazon carries them, too:

Other online marketers like Aliexpress probably sell them as well.

I'll check how they can be similarly used on the router, scrollsaw, etc.

The LED turns out to be too big for going behind the dust shield in the jigsaw, but the button lamp, which is no longer used for the DF500, works hand in glove with the dust shroud:

Next tool light to explore for: the rotary tool.
