snow thrower clamp on light

[John_Conrad]

looking to add a clamp on light to my snow thrower, which could also be used on the mower in the summer..i use a head lamp to see the controls, so this light would be to throw a better light down in front of the thrower.

have found a few options:

anyone have anything they are using that you can recommend?

I cannot comment on those, but you did give me the idea to go pull the headlight off my bike and put on the snow blower. My blower has a headlight, but yeah right.

Cool options!

I too wear an LED headband when using my 28" Ariens Sno-tek. It would be nice if it had a headlight like my old 24" Yardman has. Better than most OEM fog lights on that thing.

roger that racer12306, the existing light on my thrower, has most of it's light blocked by the thrower tube, you would figure that the manufacturer would find a better place to mount the light!

thanks for the input jtk.

Wonder if there's a "tactical light" with rings to mount to a gun barrel that could be modified.

Also wonder if vibration is going to kill these in short order.

good idea, there are many to choose from...

I prefer a LED lamp on my head.

This is what I was thinking, vibration is a potential concern here.

I'd look for the most powerful headlight I could wear and use that for many circumstances.
