My laser light came with my machine but when it broke over the holidays I improvised with a flash light that had a laser light pointer on it duct taped to a massive knitting needle attached to the adjustable laser light holder on my machine. It worked just as well as my factory light. For additional overhead lighting, my DH installed a light bar that has the postionable spotlights in them. Got it at home depot and it only required a few screws to install as it has a cord that goes into the electric socket. DH but some sort of small bracket to hold the cord to the ceiling until it hits the wall, then just runs down the wall.
