Default New machine lighting

Hi all, Recently I was quilting and rather tired and could hardly continue because my eyes were getting tired. So I wondered about getting better lighting. I ordered the LED strip lights online from Inspired LED and attached them under the arm of my machine and it is wonderful! Bright lights right where I sew and not a bad price. They were about 30.00 and worth every penny. Before I was alway trying to aim light under my machine. Plus the LED doesn't get warm. Just thought I"d pass this on

I bought a small light that was suppose to stick onto the side of the sewing machine and had a "goose neck" for directing the light. You guessed it - it doesn't stay "stuck" and fell off so many times that I finally moved a floor light over to my machine. It is really frustrating when you don't feel you can get the right angle for the light.

I love my inspired LED lights! I bought them before they started "kitting" them and they have awesome customer service in addition to the great products at great prices.

I bought a LED bulb for all my sewing machines. It makes a big difference. I also have the Inspired LED strip and it keeps falling off, I don't want to have it permanently stuck and nothing seems to hold it for more then a few hours.

I just ordered from Amazon. The deluxe kit is $45 and has 2 kits. So that is a bargain . Onebyone You should try contacting the company. Katier825 said they have great customer service.

I love mine but I wish I had put it a little closer to the needle. Here's a pic
