In my room I am well equipped with light. Barely behind my head is a 4 ft Shop type Florescent light. In the center of the room is the ceiling fan with the 4 lights on it. I have an Ott Floor Light to the left of my machine. The best thing that has helped me is the Bendable Bright Light that I stuck to my machine. That sucker is bright & I do love it! Until I got it, I was not happy with the light situation but that took care of it for me.
