LED Sewing Machine Light 30 LED Grey SEW-30

Based on some of the reviews, I was apprehensive about this light but it is surprisingly good. For me, the magnet is super strong and hasn't failed me yet in all sorts of angles. Of course, I probably won't be moving the magnetic base much as it will be permanently attached to my band saw. The goose neck is very stable and only time will tell if it will remain so or lose it. The light is very small, just enough to illuminate about a 2" by 2" area increasing the illumination enough to cover shadows to perform precision cuts. Just enough to illuminate the sewing area on a sewing machine, or the cutting area on a band saw or the drilling area on a drill press. I did not notice any overheating but I have only used it to light a couple of dozen cuts so not sure about that. The electrical cord seem functional and seems to hold up nicely but I haven't used it much so only time will tell.As for the negatives, most aren't negatives if one bothers to inspect the picture in the description. Yes, the light is tiny but it's made for a sewing machine to eliminate shadows for precision sewing. So it's supposed to be that way. It does not illuminate much because it's not supposed to. It needs to eliminate shadows for precision. If it were bright, it would be annoying (I know, I was using a light way too bright before). The length of the gooseneck is very short. It's in the description! Look it up and see if that's what you want. Anyways, you don't really need a long gooseneck since you can put the base almost anywhere there's metal (which should be most places on the sewing machine...your machine is metal, right? Magnets work on it, right?) In this case, I like it short. I place the base exactly where I need it (the band saw is all metal) and drop the gooseneck exactly where I need it a few inches from the spot I will cut. The electrical cord is too short? Read the description and/or buy a cheap 1$ extension cord. The only real negative is that I think it is a little expensive but I chose to buy it, so I guess that's on me.Anyways, the light works great for me so far. It might break in the future. Time will tell.

I am impressed with the quality of the lamp, it was almost exactly what I was after. Only problem is that the LED's are the old-tech kind that are not very bright. Not enough light is shed unless the lamp is brought close to the workpiece. I had ordered a similar lamp (same number of LEDS, 30) at the same time, it's nearly identical, but uses the newer LED technology and was significantly brighter. Same price.

I bought this light to plug in over my freezer as the area is really dark. So many of the other lights I have seen or have tried are rechargeable which is great for certain times but I kept forgetting to charge them and that defeats the purpose. The magnet makes it attach right to the freezer and the switch is in a perfect location. Good and bright. You could use this light for so many purposes.

It’s way too bright (sharp White), quite flimsy and a waste of my money. I didn’t realize the base was so tiny. It falls over unless propped up. Also this item is too expensive.I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ITEM

I purchased this light to go on a sewing machine....and guess what.....magnets don't attach to plastic. The light itself is awesome, so I will see where else I can use it. Must pay better attention!!
