Bonlux LED Sewing Machine Light 2W Working Gooseneck Lamp 30 LEDs, with Magnetic Mounting Base for Home or Sewing Machine (30 LEDs), Daylight 6000K

This light was the perfect addition to my chinese shoe patcher machine. It's very bright and easy to install. High quality and looks great after installation.

These are phenomenal. Get the higher brightness and you will not be sorry. I have a Barracuda sewing machine (made for heavy duty canvas and sail repairs) and the clamp using their magnets onto the motor casing and I have one coming over the top and one shining from the back so I can see what I am doing. My sewing machine does not feature a light and these help tremendously. Plus having them on flexible necks helps position them where I need the light.

Good for close work! Well made.

These little lights are really great for the price, especially.The color is exactly what I wanted to go on the vintage sewing machine I am restoring. The "hood" of the lamp is almond/off-white. The light is bright. The gooseneck holds form. The cord feels solid, with decent strain relief. :-)The only disappointment (and reason not 5 stars) is the magnet. It sticks to the metal, but can't support its own weight when the light is extended. It comes with a mounting tape thing, but I really don't want to put tape on my vintage machine. :(

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.

It's small but should definitely improve the light on my sewing machines.

I plugged it up, and it burned out. It didn't last a second.

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.
