LEDs make it all visible!

Just a short post to write a bit of praise for my new 50 LED sewing light! This first picture is the machine with the machine's light and the new LED lamp. You can't see the lamp because it has a completely flexible neck, and I have it positioned in back of the machine. You can see the base of the lamp - just a curved slice viewable through the inner area of the machine at the back on your right. The base is a silver disk. The lamp has a very long name. It is the NewerTech NuGreen Flexible Neck LED Desk Lamp.    After Looking around a lot, and using various OTT lights, which I still like very much, I settled on trying this lamp because of the flexibility.
The base turned out to be wider and heavier than the OTT light bases, which supports the flexibility of the neck well, and the lamp doesn't pitch off a table or over on its side when  you use a stretched position for the light. Another shot here shows the position of the lamp behind the machine - nothing in the way of your fabric or your vision while sewing. I do have a problem in the depth of the area behind my machine though, and am going to have to think of a way to reposition the table a bit for larger projects.

I amy have to get one of those now. I have been looking for a good light for awhile. I even bought one of those stick-on lights, but I couldn't bring myself to stick it to my machine.

;) I also won't stick a light on the machine. Do not want to besmirch the machines in any way!

Looks like a nice addition to the sewing room! It will make unpicking black stitching on black fabric a little easier, not that you'd ever have to do that of course.

Unpicking? HA. That's my middle name...;)
