LED light bulb for Singer Featherweight
Saw this ad and thought it was a great idea and was wondering if they are now being sold in the marketplace or if this is a specail modified invention by the seller.

Anyone see these around anywhere?? Comments?
The regular incandescent bulbs get so hot on the Featherweight 221s and can burn your hand at the slightest contact so I don't use it when sewing. I don't like the "stick on" LED lights that are mounted on the front of the machine and would prefer a bulb in the socket.

We almost never use our FW, and the other machines with the bayonet bulbs have a cage over them, so at that price I'll pass.
However ~~ when and if they bring out a version with the screw in base, I will be interested. I've got several machines that use that bulb that would really benefit from them.

I never get that close to my lights. But won't pay that much for a little light unless it has a lifetime warranty outside the life of the machine. If anything I have a couple desk lights with goose neck lamps that I can move all around.

I sent an email to the vendor to ask the lifespan of the bulb, and below is his comment. I also recommended that he update the website to reflect this information. He responded that he did. He also indicated that he had 99% satisfaction from customers. This might help you decided whether to purchase the bulb.
"The manufacturer states 100,000+ hours lifespan, which is over 10 years of operation."
