I bought an LED strip through Cotton Club and it was great. The wiring failed at some point, but the vendor replaced it as no charge.
I can't sew without it!

The problem I see is that you can't run the strip farther to the left without bumping into needle arm apparatus.

How do I find out if I can get an LED bulb for my sm...a Brother; anyone know? I can get one for my vintage Necchi as it uses a regular auto bulb but want one for my Brother too. TIA!

How hard or easy were they to put together?

Thanks so much for the closeup picture, Gale. I saw these on Amazon but was concerned about hitting them when pushing a large quilt through. I have the Juki2010, and it is fairly high, but I wasn't sure if I'd be hitting them at some point. They really look nice.

Hugs,
Charlotte

I just received the LED sewing machine lamp from ebay. Attaches by magnet and has goose neck that lets you direct the light.Love it and at 11.61 and free shipping was a great deal.

I read this and ordered the kit and the extra cord, etc. Came the next day, took 5 minutes to cut the strip and install. Still have not used the other machine so that strip hasn't been installed. What a difference good lighting makes!
