My fix for a wandering Wen 3923 flexible light

I wasn't happy with the way the factory flexible light on my new Wen wandered from the vibration as I use it. I read that it was a common issue but bought the saw with the light anyhow, believing I could come up with a fix. But I didn't want to drill and tap the saw for any holding device. Instead I used a scrap of yellow pine to make this adaptive device. A 1/2 inch hole opened up with straight sides lets the gooseneck pop in and out as needed. Strong self-adhesive velcro on the two inside surfaces where the brace meets the saw keeps the bracket in place well. The short, unsupported section of gooseneck doesn't drift on me at all now. Kinda like holding it there in place with a third hand.
