If your sewing room needs lightbulbs, try the compact floresent "DAYLIGHT" bulbs in light fixtures, ceiling fans, etc. work great. I bought mine on sale at Walgreens and I have my quilting area in the basement room with no windows. My quilting area looks like the sun is shining in my room with a total of six compact florescent "daylight" bulbs. Alot of my friends have converted their reading rooms etc with these light bulbs. Just remember if they don't say "daylight" their will have a pink hue and it's not as bright. Also, note that these compact bulbs become brighter after they are on for a minute or so.
