New light bulb
 

One bulb in ceiling light quit in my sewing room so DH replaced both of them. OMG...oh so bright. Too bright. I can see all the threads adding another layer to the carpet. What's a quilter to do?

When I had carpet in my sewing room I used a small garage cannister type vacuum. No brushes to get thread tangled. I kept it in the sewing room closet so I would use it. And it was so easy to find things in the tub part that got picked up by mistake. I always checked in it.

I have about 9 LED bulbs I sew with. Bright light and I love it.

Vacuum? I know i heard that word somewhere. i think that is right.https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wink.png

Just think of it this way.....new carpet with a new color! Don't look down & you will never notice the threads. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png

I wish I knew where to get on of those green visors blackjack dealers would wear YLEARS ago as seen on TV...lol

I bought two of the long arm LED light bars. One is over my cutting table and one is over my sewing table. Cheaper then installing more overhead lighting. And these are moveable. I can see black thread on black fabric.

My sewing room in my house had no overhead light - just a light on the wall behind the door. Behind the door because to my DH swinging the door the other way "made more sense".... So I had a light for the cutting area, another for the pressing station and one for the sewing area. And back then I could see fairly well so often sewed into the evenings - in these pools of light.
Sewing room in the apartment has an overhead light but I need to get light to the edges where the sewing machine is and the ironing board and the cutting table.....
Not sure which setup is better... or maybe it's my aging eyes....

I was frustrated with lighting in my sewing room. Just had ceiling light and one window in front of sewing table. I was always working in a shadow. Went to Walmart and found two light bars. LTD lights. Very affordable. Long cord. 24" long Mounts on the wall. Have one over my ironing board and one over cutting table. Bright light but easy on the eyes. Best investment I ever made for my sewing room. Just a suggestion.

osewme...so funny! Thanks for the link to the visor...lol

So I've had this new lighting for 24 hours now and I think I just may like it. (Don't tell hubby!) Colors are SO much brighter. Like after the cataract surgery. Just wonder how it will affect my color choices. Hmm...maybe need to change the lighting in my fabric room too?

What's a vacuum cleaner? My carpet in there sees something like that every few months. Cleaning that machine is more of a challenge than cleaning the threads off the floor by hand.
Four LED light bulbs from the ceiling that works for me!

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.
