Wrong replacement bulb specified
My light has worked out fine. But my work light says to use a candelabra base bulb as a replacement. The correct bulb is a 25 watt R-14 flood with an INTERMEDIATE base. Once I knew that the replacement bulb was easy to find.

For the guy who has to have all manufacturer's options???
Ok, it matches the rest of the saw and it comes from DeWalt. It is just a light and frankly any light would work on a stand next to the saw. The earlier comments are correct that it drops too close to the table and won't stay upright. The gooseneck on it is very tightly sprung and wants to keep straightening out on you so the way it is designed makes it drop toward the table. It came with my saw as part of package but personnally I don't use it much since it casts a shadow on the work that is very distracting. My shop is well lit so don't need it and if I did would probably go with florescent to eliminate the shadow problem.

Nice extra for the dewalt scollsaw
This light is a nice extra option and bolts right on the holes already on the saw. Only takes a minute or two to add on, and really puts light where you need it.

DW7881 Scrollsaw light
I've used the light for several project so far & it does give off adequate light. But, the on-off switch is kinda rickey dink. If you don't turn it just right, it doesn't work. It attached to the DWS788 scrollsaw very easily using two of the screws already mounted on the saw. There is no question that the light is adequate but they should change the on-off switch.

A weak light
This light leaves a lot to be desired. The neck needs to be stiffer so it doesn't droop and the power needs to be increased for a stronger bulb. The amount of light provided by this lamp is weak.
