My husband got me new lights at lowes. 69.00. They are really nice and led lights. I had shop lights for years but they kept fluttering or burning out. However make sure you get the ones that say daylight or bright white otherwise they are too dull for a sewing room. painted my walls white and hung wall hangings and bright pictures from a quilting calendar.
