Thanks, Rita, but I need light for the whole room. Over cutting table, too. Thanks, though, I have thought of small lights on the machine bed. So far, what I have is fine. Now...when the eyesight goes ....

Have you seen ecoluxlighting? Their website is http://www.ecoluxlighting.com. Cindy Needham recommends them. They are a very thin led light that sticks to the harp space on your machine so that you have good lighting in that usually dark area. They are not cheap and I won't be ordering any from this side of the pond, but it's a thought.

Boy ! Do I know that one !! Wish I could change that problem in my room !

I have the daylight bulbs in my ceiling fixture. It looks like the same setup as florescent lights. The only complaint I have is that it is directly over my cutting table and so gives me a glare off the ruler when I am trying to line things up.

I'm about to put new lighting in my sewing room (it will qualify as a proper "studio" once the lighting is in!) and want to find out the best products. I want Daylight or Natural lighting that will be in the ceiling and preferably in spots to target specific places - i.e cutting table, design wall, fabric storage, ironing board, sewing table, etc.

Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks, Kathy
