Bree Report post Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) I am old now. I need light and lots if it to see what the heck I am doing. It is a problem with my Artisan Toro 4000 LA-25 because it is so big. Most lights can't reach out to where I need light and those that can don't put out as much light as I need to sew. Right now I have the halogen spot light from Artisan and a nice little magnetic gooseneck spot light from Rockler. They are good spots but I really want something that floods the whole area with nice white light. I found it!! I was over at Rockler Woodworking yesterday and found this fabulous Verilux Shop Light. And I got it for $59 instead of the normal $104 plus I got an extra bulb which is worth $20. I attached it to my LA-25 and turned it on. WOW!! Beautiful light... shadow free white light and tons of it. Just fabulous. It is well worth the full price. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=17...r=shop%20lights I switched on my other lights and it is very clear just how much light this Verilux is putting out. It's HUGE. Needless to say I am quite pleased. Not sure if I am going to keep all these spot lights. The machine looks crazy with all these lights. Here are some PIX... excuse the mess. I was moving a bunch of stuff around and installed this light in the middle of that operation. Edited January 18, 2009 by Bree Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Cornelius Report post Posted January 18, 2009 Bree, I know you were at Columbis, did you see the neat little LEDs that they were selling at the Artsen both. They were "L" shaped and magnitic so you could clip them on underneath the machince just above the needle. I bought one and they sure do help a bunch.

I think for lots of people they will work very well. But I needed more light. I also wanted light coming in at different angles. I wanted both backlighting and front lighting. I would love to have lighting from back, front, left, right and above if I could. But I will settle for front and back for now. That nice little Rockler gooseneck light has several very bright LEDs and they focus a sharp spot. The nice thing is that I can move it anywhere I want on the Toro 4000 because it is all metal. The magnetic base sticks to everything. So I can orient it to any place that I need light. You can also get an LED rimmed magnifying glass which is about 4" in diameter. I almost bought one this weekend but I am going to wait til I can get a sale price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
