Ideas: April 2008 Archives

Good lighting is always a concern for quilters. 

I was recently asked about the overhead lighting I have for my longarm:

We purchased the overhead wiring feature (the basic framing/rails, etc.) from APQS  as an "add on" when I ordered the machine.  But, the lights are separate components that Jeff added by attaching them with clamps to the frame. 

He purchased the lights from Home Depot.  There are two light units.  So...two pieces of rail/track with 3 lights in each.  More individual lights can be purchased and added on to each track.  The feature I like best is that you can  turn each individual light to the direction you choose (within the limits of it's turning capability).  I think we paid around $40 per unit.
