Uwe Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Having seen the nice LED sewing lights that are available for many newer machines, I decided to try and retrofit my Adler 205 with a homemade LED sewing light. I used two LED light bars and a small battery case that holds three AA batteries. The installation is mainly via tiny magnets that I glued to the plastic drip tray. It makes for a nice, shadow-free light that is super bright. It only adds about 1/4" under the drip tray, so it doesn't get in the way. The pictures are of the working prototype. I'll work with it for while to check if there any usability issues that require modifications. As usual, I hope the pictures tell much of the story. Quote
