Use Loctite Blue on the set screws. It will hold them from moving but is soft enough to let you back the screw out when needed.
I bought a small LED clamp-on light with a gooseneck. The clamp came off, leaving a 1/2" male thread end. I removed the workpiece hold-down from the saw arm (never used it anyway) and put the light mount into that hole and it works great.
If you don't already have one, get a foot switch for the saw. It is much easier to control and start/stop with your foot.
