Sycamore67 Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 BadBob recently posted about a sewing machine light that he bought on Amazon. Based on his recommendation, I purchased one and it works well and is bright. A couple of days after getting the first light, I ordered a similar one that was shown on the same Amazon page. Below is a picture showing both of the lights. The initial one was 12" and the second one was 24". The longer one is very nice and stays in place when you position it. It also has 2 magnets as opposed to the one on the 12" version. In both cases the magnets are pretty strong and keep the lights in place. The other difference is brightness with the 12" one being quite a bit brighter. The 24" one is on the top in the picture below. The 12" version has an on/off switch and one brightness while the 24" one has three brightness settings and the on/off/brightness is a touch control and not a regular switch. I bought two of the 24" lights at $14.99, one for me and one for the wife. It seems that Amazon is out of the 24" one right now. The shorter version is $11.99. Both lights are pretty nice for the price and I will be using mine in the shop on the drill press or band saw. amazingkevin, WayneMahler, OCtoolguy and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have these LEDs everywhere a standard bulb will fit. They are not cheap, but they are worth every penny. Because of their small size, they will fit in places where florescent curly bulbs will not go. You probably could break one, but you would need to try real hard.

Sycamore67 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 The bulbs are big and bulky compared to these sewing machine lights. Also, the sewing machine lights with the gooseneck are very adjustable so you get light where you need it. I have all kinds of lights with bulbs and these sewing machine lights are much better for my uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachnlearn Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 LED bulbs come in various ranges of the color spectrum. They go from cool to warm. I find the cool or daylight gives me a headache and use the warmer LEDS. Our family also gets headaches from florescent. If you have sessions your ending up with headaches, check your eyes, glasses and maybe change to a warmer color light. RJF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
