Lighting Set Up

Gary Mann

Anyone have a great lighting set up for their machine? I made a real nice set up at the last shop I worked at, it was like stadium lighting under the machine. Just curious if its just me trying to pump as much light as I can under there or do you guys as well? Any products or set ups you recommend?

I've seen some LED magnetic lights for sewing machines at South Star Supply and on eBay, thinking I will purchase one soon to try it out.

I like the magnetic led light I have on my machine. But it’s really a good help to good overhead lighting. I was in a dark corner for awhile and it worked, but cast shadows.

I use two led lights on my machines, one underneath one on a flexible whip on top. https://store.keysew.com/catalog/search?keyword=led+lights

We use these from Ikea, always just the job and don't get hot, small head too that doesn't get on it the way...

I have one of these, the problem with them for me is the wires get jostled a bit and wear out like the end of a phone charger and I’ve had to replace it once already. I have tried some hot glue but oil gets in there and that wears too

I add a layer of that Uv/blacklight glue to the end before use and self adhesive velcro to the wires to prolong the life of the lights and keep the wire out of the way.
