The lighting in the room where I put my long arm was all at the other end of the room. There was no light on the end where it is except for lamps. I thought about ordering a light bar but it was 500.00+ shipping. So, I decided to look at some track lighting. Its not the best in the world. But, it is a start. My DH and a friend helped me get it wired up and hung. I'm planning on adding onto it to make it go further across. $100.00 so far. What do you think?

Looks super! With the light coming straight down you shouldn't have any shadows.
|
I like it. Great solution!!!!! We quilters are really "crafty"
|
Looks great to me!
|
looks like a great solution
|
Wonderful job. My husband always asks if I have enough light to work by.
If I don't, it's off to Lowes for some new lights. :) |
Great idea!
|
Great job, should really help!!!!!
|
Oh my I've been trying to decide on how I wanted to get more lighting over my cutting and ironing area! I may borrow yours. Thank you!
|
Looks like it will do the trick for you!
|
Love it. My husband added some like that for me a few weeks ago.. I just have to plug and unplug them. Love them.
|
Great way to problem solve!!
|
Awesome solution, I'm lucky I got the light bar with mine, but that looks like a great solution.
|
Way to go, Leesa. You are so smart & talented.
|
Looks great and makes me envious.
|
looks good
|
I did the same thing in mine. I had an overhead lighting fixture but it did not pinpoint the light the way I wanted it to. I still prefer to quilt by daylight as I don't get shadowing at all but my track light is the next best thing.
|
Looks like a great solution. And affordable.
|
It has certainly helped. I can't wait to add more to it. Gotta get back to Lowes!!!
|
To have light is a wonderful thing. I had no overhead lights in my sewing studio so I had a clip-on light, Ott freestanding and a desk Ott still not enough light. There is a suspended ceiling in the room so I went to Lowe's and bought a shop light and also purchased Daylight bulbs that plugs into the wall. It now hangs directly above my sewing table and I can see to sew all night long if desired. Necessity is the mother of invention - and if there is a will there is a way. Great job of solving your lighting problem!
|
Good idea! I had a round roof skylight added to my sewing room. The roofer had it installed in a few hours. It's fantastic during the day! It's like being outside. I have Ott light bulbs for night time sewing.
|
Think you have done great job with it. Congrats!
|
You did a great job.Thanks I am having DH look at this for me.
|
Add some of the new LED lights to the bar as you can afford them. They are still very expensive but they will last years and are wonderfully bright!!!! I have been buying one bulb a month since they were introduced - they are wonderful for working on quilting.
|
looks like a good fix for a good price
|
My daughter had track lighting in her kitchen and it created a LOT of heat. Good light but uncomfortable, esp with the stove running, too. They finally took it down and installed a ceiling fan with lighting
|
I have that track lighting above my sewing table and love it! Love your Longarm, too !
|
Nice area & lighting.
|
Great idea, and great helpers. It sure makes it nicer when you can see things clearly
|
Looks great. The more light the better.
|
I've had track lighting in my studio for years! I love it. I can move the light fixture where I need them. I have a tendency to move things around now and then. :)

Excellent idea!
|
Looks GREAT!!! I really like the ability to adjust the direction/focus of the lights......nice setup!
|
A wonderful and adaptable solution to an ever present problem for most of us. You can see clearly now.
Buy the way, is that a Nolting LA in the corner. The table looks just like mine and the color is very familiar! Give up some info on her, please! How do you like her! peace |

my thinking too. And get the "day light" ones, they are nice and bright.
|
Looks like you have solved your lighting problem without breaking the bank.
