I have an Ott light that has a long bendable arm & clamps to the edge of my sewing cabinet. I can move it to thread the machine needle or use it just for general light if I'm not getting enough light from the window behind the sewing machine cabinet. Then, to my right an Ott light sits on the chest of drawers and lights up my cutting board which is on a Big Board with room for an ironing matt. I don't usually have the other dresser & nite stand lights on in that room unless it is dark outside. I'm really conservative with my electric, so I don't light areas I'm not using.
