Had my husband put one of those large fluroscent (sp) 4 tube types in my sewing studio. You know where the normal ceiling light is placed. I have 6 ott lights some floor type and others table top in various places around the room. I have bendable bright lights on all my sewing machines. I know that seems excessive but I got tired of moving them from machine to machine and found them on sale and it was worth the extra to me to be able to move about without adjusting everything all the time. It sure makes it easier on these older eyes.
