It's brighter under the foot plate too. I just can't get a decent picture of it on my camera phone. It's so much better with the LED lights than without.

I have them for my machines. I love them. I did find however the adhesive doesn't stick all the time and my strip fell off. Got dble sided tape and it's holding up really well.

I know me and I would always wished I had the white every time I saw the black cords. I did paint a lamp cord to match the wall but it looked like a painted cord up close.

Thank you for posting this info. I have the Ecolux on one machine. I just ordered the Inspired LED for my others!

Thanks for the before and after pics. I can sure see the difference.

Cottonclub.com has one for sale and they look great. Battery operated but virtually never needs replacement. I worry about losing throat space but I might try it and see.

Not at all! There is a sticky clip at the back of the machine to hold the cord out of the way. You can't even see the cords from the front.

I saw some recently at a quilt show. They were wonderful, but too expensive. Nice to know that Lowe's has them. They give off so much light and not much heat.

I need these! I wonder if Home Depot has them. I'll be there today so I'll have to look. If not I'm buying a set. Just last night I was adjusting my table lamp to get more light and it was like a sauna next to my machine.

eta: just checked online at HD does not have these, at least not for this price. Off to order!
