[lace] Lighting for lace.
I have a lighted magnifier that screw onto the side of a table, like that one shown in the Daylight company link, - except mine is not a round fluorescent tube, but a normal light bulb. However I found this too bright for my needlelace, and too hot on my hand, so I use just an 11 or 15 watt sewing machine bulb in it - and that works perfectly. I use it constantly, and can't live without it!!! Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Lighting for lace making
My DH and I are talking about lighting and about LED lighting in our motor caravan and the conversation went on to include some of the lamps we use in the house. 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.

Re: [lace] Lighting for lace making
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.

Fw: [lace] Lighting for lace making
>Do any of you have any experience with LED lights in your home, good or bad. I recently bought an LED light bulb that's the equivalent of at 60 watt bulb that I used in the bedroom for reading. It's shaped like a regular light bulb...here's a link... http://genet.gelighting.com/LightProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=CONSUMERSPECPAGE&PRODUCTCODE=68015 I'm happy with it. The light isn't cold like a flourescent, and of course, there's the savings on the electric bill. The only bad thing was the cost of the bulb...$16 USD. I'm hoping that it lasts a very long time. I plan to slowly add more and more of them as lights burn out.

Re: [lace] Lighting for lace making
Hi All We use an LED light in the bathroom and another one in the bedside lamp in the bedroom. The light is superb!! Agreed, they are an initial expense, but the amount of energy they consume is minute! My advice would be to just try one >> Do any of you have any experience with LED lights in your home, good or bad.

Re: [lace] Lighting for lace making
Have a look on eBay as there are LED bulbs for sale there at much lower prices. They are sent straight from China I think, so should be equally available worldwide. DH got some for the car but said they had bulbs for all purposes.
