[Elecraft] Tip: Front Panel Illumination Tip

[Roger Stein]

Indeed, a nice light source depending on task, general night lighting for wee morning QSO, ahem - CW, sliver removal,
soldering aid - vision assistance, etc.

The one I utilize has the C-clamp style base that firmly attaches to the desk that you insert the lamp swivel pin into.  Preferred, as the clamp style shown is a bit slippery for my liking, needs some open weave sandpaper for increased coefficient of friction on the desk.

And, lights up the front panel on my K3s FB!
