# Mini Mill Light Ring
The source is also available on https://github.com/davidstelter/mini-mill-light-ring
Inspired by a nice looking product at
http://www.phenomengineering.com/blog/the-photonx2-mini-mill-light-is-here though there appear to be
a number of competitors and other DIY solutions around.
Using a cheap "headlight halo/angel eyes" kit intended for car headlights, I got a 2-pack for like
$12 off Amazon, for the mini mill an 80mm light is a good fit. The ones I got have double-stick foam
tape on the back as well as 3 mounting tabs, recesses to engage these tabs are included when the
customizer option `subtractLightTabRecess` is checked/true. Mine came with small inline power
regulator/constant current modules, I popped the outer shell off and it fits inside the electronics
hollows in the top of the main body.
## Mounting
Sticks to the mill with magnets so it's easy to remove if you need to attach a dial fixture to the
spindle or whatever. I used 8mm x 3
