I have fluoresescent lighting in my sewing room, however, when my daughter-in-law and son-in-law came to visit, being an electrician, he changed my bulbs from regular lights to "Brights". WOW!!! What a difference!

I had a sunlight installed in my sewing room over my machine area and it is wonderful. In the other end of my room I have a long florescent light. It is very bright. Some day I will post pictures, but at the moment it is a mess.

The lights in my sewing room are full spectrum florescent from Orchard Supply Hardware. They're about 14" long and portable or hooked on the ceiling. I also use one for the light in a light box. The only OTT lights that are bright enough are 24 watt. Another full sqectrum is from Daylight Company.

My sewing room is the bonus room upstairs. It has a ceiling fan with a light kit and that's it. I replaced the incandescent bulbs with the energy saving and MUCH COOLER fluorescent bulbs. I also use a $15 floor lamp with the attached bendable task lamp with regular incandescent bulbs for my machine table work. Both provide great lighting. And I have the choice of light 'tones' when I'm interviewing fabric. For all my handwork projects in front of the TV at night, I love my Ott lamp.
