I also use a floor lamp with a goose neck light, it is awesome because it is portable, and I can adjust it as needed.
I also like it because DB is going to shorten the pole, then I can turn the gooseneck part facing up and use it as a light box too :wink: I can place a piece of plexiglass on the edge of the table and a tv tray and have plenty of light without having to purchase/make and find room to store a light box...

I have the ceiling light, and an ott lamp. And I don't think you can have too much light, but at times, when the sun is shining in my window, I do have to close the shade a bit.

I have currently lousy lighting and need to get a stand up lamp QUICK or go blind. That said I can never and I mean ever thread the needle if the front plate is open (the one that covers the bulb?).. its so darned bright I cant find the hole in the needle. Grr.. if its not one thing.. its my mother! That is a whole different story for a different day. At 90 this May she can be anything she wants to be. The trick is to not be near her when she figures it out!

i brought several at joann,s when they were on sale the table top lamp style , that way i can place any where besides my sewing machine , i like them as i have serveral table lamps i just got the bendable bright light that attaches to your sewing machine im really glad that i brought it i can use all the light that need :-D

In my room, the only light that is permanent is the light from the ceiling fan.
I have an Ott floor lamp that is to the right of my sewing machine and swings over top of me and also an Ott lamp that clamps onto my sewing table. That one is movable around the table depending on where I'm sitting/sewing. My sewing table is a 6 foot banquet table. I now have enough light for everything.

No, there is no such thing as having too much light. Once we are all moved and into a new place, I will DEFINITELY have more light in my sewing space.

My sewing machine sits in front of a window so I get good light from that. I have a standard ceiling light fixture amd two rows of track lights. So I can sew almost anytime with good light.

In my room I am well equipped with light. Barely behind my head is a 4 ft Shop type Florescent light. In the center of the room is the ceiling fan with the 4 lights on it. I have an Ott Floor Light to the left of my machine. The best thing that has helped me is the Bendable Bright Light that I stuck to my machine. That sucker is bright & I do love it! Until I got it, I was not happy with the light situation but that took care of it for me.

I have a pole light that stands on my right side but it
makes a shadow (I guess cause I'm right handed), so I'm
going to move it to me left side. Also have a table
ott lamp. These are at the cutting table. At my sewing
machine I have hanging lamp to my left and of course
the sewing machine has its own light. I definitely
would like more light tho. The ceiling light is really
useless as you can only put a 60 watt bulb in it.

You can never have to much light. I have my ceiling fan with 3 60 watt bulbs, a floor lamp with 3 60 watt bulbs that sit by the sewing table, another floor lamp with a 100 watt and a 60 watt, then my Ott light right by the machine, along with the little bulb on the machine. When it is sunny I open up both windows to let the sun in.

I second the recommendation for the Bendable Bright Light. I think it's kind of expensive - around $30 - but it has saved my eyes. You can spotlight exactly where you are sewing. It's always on sale somewhere on the internet.
