I have shop lights on my ceiling (flouresent) in cool white. Then in the old ceiling light fixtures (you know the single bulb with a string hanging down) I replaced all those bulbs with an more expensive high efficient flood light. The light comes on dim at the start but puts out more light in a few minutes than I ever imagined. I have an ott light on my cutting table and then added a new bendable led light to my sewing machine, which was the best investment I have made in the recent year. They were cost prohibitive to me at first, but now I can honestly say, it was well worth it. No sewing machine should be without one.`
