The only time a light burned out on one of my machines was on a 1962 Pfaff that had been in regular use for over 30 years. I think the bulb cost around $4.00.
It isn't the price of a light. I would have to take my sewing machine in to the store (I am pretty sure about this, but I could be wrong) because my light is encased and I don't know how to get it out. Maybe it is a forever light. Also, I sew in the middle of the night and don't want it to go out on me -- any time I am sewing. Too many things to think about for a new sewest like me!!!
Mainly, I do worry that it is the turning on and off of my sewing machine is the hardest on it.
