    LED bulbs for Brother 1500, FW and 301

    They don't get hot and you know how hot a FW and 301 light cover can get. The lights are super bright. I really like them. Here is the website for details. No affiliation just happy customer. www.stitchallthethings.com/screw-base-led/
    I love my life!

    Thank you for sharing. I have clip on LED lights that I now use to supplement my FW light. This would be so much better.

    Oh Thank you! I was searching for machine bulbs and found this post on Google. I have been looking for a LED bulb for my vintage Singers. A quilter I met at a workshop had one but couldn't remember where she bought it online.

    I purchased 3 LED bulbs off ebay, $10. (yes they were from china) my FW uses a bayonet type bulb, they are made for sewing machines and are very bright work good.

    I ordered some from EBay and they wouldn't fit my FW even thought it said in the description they would. Same with my Bernina bulbs. I won't order bulbs off Ebay again.

    Thanks for the warning--I was just about to call my son and ask him to order me some LED bulbs on his ebay account. Oh well......I think I did see, though, that 1930s April has some. Maybe I'll go there and check.
    Make every day count for something!

    1930's April site has been out of stock for these bulbs for a long as I have been searching for them.

    YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!! Thanks so much for posting this! Since I started sewing on one of the newer machines that has the presser foot lever toward the inside of the throat, I just automatically reach under the throat on all my machines to lift the lever. Which was how I burned my arm on my FW light just two nights ago (only slightly, but enough to let me know it could have been a lot worse!)! I told my husband then that I needed to see if they make an LED for the FW. This was right on time! Thanks again!
