I was having trouble seeing well with the overhead room light and the just the light of my sewing machine, so I purchased two pole lights, the kind with three separate lights on them that can be turned on all together or separately, and aimed in different directions separately as well. I love them. They are not taking up room on my sewing tables and I can adjust them and move them as needed. Relatively cheap as well. They use regular up to 60 watt light bulbs and I got them for about 30.00 each.
