Bonlux Sewing Machine Light, 30 LEDs Flexible Gooseneck Work Light with Magnetic Mounting Base, 6W Portable Work Lamp for Workbench Lathe Drill Presses, Daylight 6000K (2-Pack)

This light works well as a sewing machine light and can also be used as a work light for shop machines. The light is pretty bright - I would estimate at least 30-50 foot-candles given the length of the flex arm. The spread of the beam is wide - probably 70-90 degrees - like a floodlight beam. The magnet is strong enough to mount reliably to the back of a sewing machine or a drill press head or table. Mine was pretty well made, though the white plastic is really more of a beige and had one very small imperfection. The flex arm stays where you put it. As an former engineer, I feel obligated to point out one very minor area of concern: On this light the AC cord goes directly to the housing with the switch, so there is 120 V inside. The back of the switch housing is metal (for the magnet). The cord plug is not polarized. The light is very Chinese - it comes in a retail display box printed in Asian characters and there are no regulatory agency approvals (like UL or ETL) shown. So, there's a small chance that the fault modes of the light haven't been fully evaluated for the American market, and you could end up with the power line connected to whatever metal the light is stuck to (as well as the flex arm) if there was a failure of the insulation inside the switch housing. The larger and more expensive lights typically have an external "wall wart" listed power adapter that only supplies a limited amount of 5V power to the light fixture itself. This concern doesn't bother me more than the cardboard insulation on edison-base lamp switch sockets for old-style table lamps. I suppose I could hi-pot test one of these just to feel better. A more important concern is that if you use this on a machine for metalwork (it could make a good bench grinder light for example) metal filings are going to be attracted to the switch housing. You can't blame the manufacturer for that - it's intended for sewing machines after all - but you might want a few turns of saran wrap or electrical tape around the switch to keep metal out. I'm going to buy some more for other shop machines.

I bought this light because my sewing area isn't very bright and the lights on my 3 machines aren't either. The brightness is perfect for illuminating the bed of the machine. I wanted to use it on all 3 machines so I used velcro picture hangers instead of the double-stick tape that came with the light. The light is a little top-heavy for the velcro I used, but it hasn't been a problem so far. If I used it only on a single machine I would use the double-stick tape. The base of the light is a fairly strong magnet that would stay on the machine, but lets you take the light off for storing or traveling with the machine. I like that the neck of the light is flexible making it easy to position where I need the light the most. Overall, the light works perfectly and is a great value. I will probably be buying a couple more for my other machines so I can use the tape to secure it better.

For the price, this is fantastic. I saw a video with something like this on an industrial machine and I have no idea how my mom sewed for 60 years and lived without it. After I inherited her machine, this was the first thing I added. The color temperature is on the cool side. Good for putting working light right where you need it and the table light can’t reach.

This Light is nice a bright and would work great for a sewing machine as my intended purchase was for but only issue is most machines are now plastic so no wear to really magnetize it blue you also want to be careful if you use a computerized machine, you don't want the magnet to mess with those components. I ended up making a metal dowel rod stand to have near and stuck it to that for better lighting on my machine. It would work great for other applications though where a metal surface is accessible like a garage etc. I think to bright though for bed reading, its got a lot of LEDs.

GOOD LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR MY MACHINE. EASY TO CONNECT, AND LED LIGHTING IS BRIGHT.
