I have a lot of vintage and antique lights. I've learned to be careful with this. Other than that, I don't have any suggestions. The lighting in my sewing room is not optimal which was okay 20+ years ago when we moved here. Now I'm having trouble seeing well sometimes and have to move my tabletop and floor lamps around to get enough light.

I have these too. One over my cutting table and one over my sewing machine. They are wonderful. But can't find bulbs for them except through Grace company. The bulbs don't last as long as stated. I think I will have the fixtures removed and put regular fixtures in for light bulbs as I posted above.

Ru, I am liking the pole lamp idea, since they are adjustable and can be positioned lower than overhead lighting.
Peckish, could you share what kind of bulb or fixture can be adjusted for color rendering? I had no idea those existed.

I purchased the lamp online a couple of years ago, the name on it is "Miroco". It has 4 brightness settings and 4 color settings. These pictures show 3 out of 4 of the different color settings, you can clearly see how it goes from warm white to bright white.
Hope this helps.

I think Peckish has the winning solution...now to see if the home wiring job done for the two overhead sockets can be converted to install this light bar.
FWIW I use these floor lamps for my cutting table and machine area (where I also have a machine-side pressing station)...they are great!

I will add a couple of those if the overhead upgrade is not enough!
