i have ceiling hung 3' fluorescent bulbs over 2 machines, 1 over my la and 1 over my oversized cutting board. have 1 in my laundry room and dh says i can have another one over my design wall in the quilting room. they are the best. then i have goosenecks over all the machines, too. no such thing as too much light. but i worked up to this over 40 years. LOL!!
