I also have several tattoos - numerous FW, a 201, and a 15. There may be some from a clone or two in there too.
Every time I show someone a machine or teach someone to sew, I tell them "Yes there's a built in light, see it works, now don't turn it on anymore, buy a good light to sit beside it."
When they ask why, I show them my tat collection. (and then how the light from the built on one is never in the position you really want it anyway.

The lights I think work the best are those mounted up inside the arm between the needle and pillar.
The second best is the ancient machines with the light mounted up high on the front side facing away from you but angled down to the work.
The WORST are the ones on the clones and mid sized Singers with the open bottom fixtures.
