    That's great! I have a couple of LED clip on book lights that I use when the power goes out or on my treadle machines, but really, one bulb is not quite bright enough.

    I'd like to find one like yours - do you have a product name that I can look up so I know what to look for?

    I bought a new light for my handcrank just tonight! It runs on batteries and is actually a light designed for a grill (the kind you cook on)! It has a bunch of LED bulbs, and it can either sit or clamp on (I have it clamped on my sewing table). It has a long flexible neck between the clamp and the lights. I haven't used it much, but it looks very promising. I bought mine at Lowe's, but it was just under $30.

    I'm going to IKEA today to see if they do anything suitable, as my 201 doesn't have a light and threading the needle is a nightmare.
    I may also end up in the fabric section :wink:
