Hi Sue and All! We live off the grid, which means that we are our own water and power company. We use florescent bulbs in our lamps. But the items that get the most use are LED headlamps. Energizer head lamps and you will find a wide variety of them. You wear them on your head and where you look is where the light is. I use mine all the time, not just for lacemaking but also for knitting, crocheting, beading, sewing...you get the idea. It's my main light at night when I working on items.
There are also gooseneck lights that use LED bulb assembly that are also really good. But you have to find table space for them.

In the evenings I always turn off the main light and work my lace, knit, read, watch tv or whatever else I might be doing using my angle poise lamp. We are considering investigating to see if using LED lamps in some places might be better than the usual house lights. Do any of you have any experience with LED lights in your home, good or bad.
