i have ceiling fluorescent lites in my sewing room and it is truly the best lite. I do have task light shining on my sewing machine. I do sew in the basement, so the lites are just shop type lights, no covers distorting the light coming from them.

We have one room large enough for 14' longarm. It has 6 four bulb natural light fluorescent fixtures, each 4' long. I like a lot of light. Just be aware these warm up a room quickly. I use a large floor fan tilted up toward the ceiling to keep the air moving

Also, take note of what kind of light bulbs you use. If you are using the new curly Q bulbs buy the daylight ones. Many of the other types make the colors on your fabric appear different than they are. If you shop at Home Depot they have a display that shows you how each of the types of bulbs look. Very interesting to check out. I was trying to pick a paint color for our bedroom & the colors I would choose always looked orange or yellow in our room. Finally figured out it was our light bulbs. Bought the daylight bulbs & finally got the true color. Keep this in mind, too.

I have three sets of plug in shop lights in mine, but still use a light on my sewing table. We hooked a 6-plug surge control cord to the wall with screw in cup hooks. This seems to be doing the job. We bought the 36" ones and I think they were only somethinng like, $9.88
