    I purchased one that sits on the table, it was only $15.99 and has a really long neck. It is awesome as it really focuses a lot of light on the sewing area, but is not in the way. It has an iron base so it stays put.

    I have one that is similar to that. I found it at a thrift store for $5. It has a long bendable neck and work great. I have since found 2 more at thrift stores and so I have one on each of my machines that I use on a regular basis.

This week I was working on a quilt where I was sewing black on black with black thread. I thought that maybe the light would help. Help it did! Now I can't sew without it. Being that it is bendable, I can point it at the needle - where is usually is pointed - or move it so I can see the fabric edges that I am trying to meet.
    I couldn't do without my bendable bright light. I have one on most of my machines or I have the adapter on it were I can move it. Been using them for several years and haven't had a bulb burn out yet.

    If you watch, the dollar store has some that are similar and work very well.
