The dollar Tree's clip on lights last about 2-3 hours :wink:

I bought a cheap LED light from Harbor Freight. The light starts out bright and by about 2 hours it's so dim you can't see. I love my bright light (2) and it's worth the money. I like being able to put the light where ever I need it. I couldn't to that with the bargin brand. Years ago I couldn't and wouldn't have paid that price no matter how good it was, but today I can splurge from time to time. Went back to school, got a better job, and kids are gone (except for one) that's another topic.

Light is definitely important to all of us. You do get what you pay for.
Check out the latest LED light on the market at Ecoluxlighting.com. This is true vertical white light that mounts under the throat of your machine.

Just don't buy the one at Joann's. It is junk.
