Planex light

[overanalyze]

Not my idea but an improvement of others ideas. Instead of having to run a wire down the extensions I bought some USB powered LED tape lights from Amazon and powered them from my Bosch 12v adapter they use in their heated jackets. Milwaukee has one too.

Thio is cool you should patent this and sell to festool!

This is a great idea. Do you have a picture of the LEDs not turned on?

Cool implementation!
I suggested this years ago on the forum but for normal sanders, it would help see swirl marks. Right now I pass over with the syslite to see if the sanding was done well. I just can't understand why Festool or any others haven't done this yet.

I do not. I can take one tomorrow and post it up.

I did this in 2 pieces so the brushes can still be removed for getting into the corners.
I use Milwuakee m12 batterypack and a Y splitter.

It basically eliminates the need for lighting while sanding out.
