I have 2 Ott lights next to my machine. ALso the regular room light. The lighting just isn't right. I have been trying to decide what kind of light I want to suspend from the ceiling above my machine area. It seems the older I get the pickier I get about my lighting.

My sewing room is in the basement. I had regular old shoplghts but they were always fluttering or going out. We went to lowes and got the led bright light ones. They look like enclosed shop lights. .make sure you get the ones that say daylight or bright light.

Whatever you chose, don't get anything that runs HOT. I had florescent standard fixtures you find in the garage but I bought the best tubes to give me natural lighting.

My sewing room is a spare bedroom. I have a goose neck Ott light that clamps onto the sewing machine cabinet. I love it as it can be redirected when I need more light to thread the needle. I have a 2nd Ott light that sits on the chest of drawers beside my Big Board which is also my cutting table. These have been working fine for me since the 1990's.

I have replaced all of the fluorescent bulbs in my sewing room with LEDs. The room is as bright as daylight even for sewing in the evenings. I have an overhead light, 1 gooseneck floor lamp with 3 positional lights, 1 goose neck floor lamp with 1 positional light and an ott light I move around.

I bought 6 of these lights. They are low wattage and are extremely bright. I just love them.

This is the lighting I have in my quilt building. I love it, it is like being in an operating room.

Thanks, everyone!

Really like these as well. The daylight ones show the fabric well to me.

LED lights also don't give off the heat other lights do so I will go with them in my dream studio. My eye MD recommended them for my mom who has glaucoma and the beginnings of macular degeneration to help her see better to read.
