This one was on sale for half the currently listed price when I bought two of them.

I have the Ikea light too and it is terrific. I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought it but I could not be happier with it. And the price can't be beat!

Thanks so much for all the positive feedback!

I think I'll check out the IKEA light first, just because it's so much cheaper and only about 10 minutes from our house, but I think the Bendable Bright Light will probably be the one I'll go with. It looks like it has more LED's.

Can't find anything that says how many LED's either of them has, but the lights I've looked at in the local stores only have one and it's just not enough light to see what I'm doing. I guess I have old eyes. lol

I also have this bendable light that attaches to the machine. It gives really good light. They are usually $50 everywhere and I ordered mine from Quilter's Warehouse awhile back when this was a topic on this Board and someone posted that they liked it and it was on sale at the time for $39.99.

I don't have the kind that sticks to the machine as I use more than one machine. I found this one at Walmart that I really like. The base is heavy enough for it to stay put but small enough that it doesn't take up a lot of room. And the LED is nice and bright. I paid $14.95 for it. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Generic-MS...Black/21909820

DH bought me a small one that runs on batteries, but it has only one LED, so not enough to bother with so I returned it.


Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I was just on http://www.sewforless.com and they have the bendable light on sale for $29.97.
