Lights, Back in Action & a GREAT Give Away

The lighting in my sewing room is terrible. I often find myself dragging my Ott light around like a third appendage. Do you have this problem too?
Well, I found another product that I totally ♥♥LOVE♥♥ ……. LED sewing machine lights by Inspired LED.

The lamp that came with my Voyager only lights one side of the machine at a time. It casts terrible shadows while trying to do ruler work and around the needle area. Even with my drug store granny glasses it’s a struggle to sew black thread on black fabric.


Here’s my machine with LED lights. Wow! It’s like I’m sewing outside in the day light.


Threading the needle is no longer a struggle and there aren’t any more shadows with ruler work. Hmmm, I may need to change her name from Gremlin to something friendlier now. LOL.



The kit includes a 25” flexible LED light string, switch, power source and mounting brackets. THE BEST PART is you don’t need any technical skills to quickly install or completely customize your lights. The only tool needed is a pair of scissors. Everything is self adhesive….even the lights!

Assembly takes just minutes. Cut lights to the desired length, stick in place, plug in to the switch, plug in the power source, and you’re in business. It's really that easy to do!

Just cut the lights at the copper connectors with scissors

Left over lights won’t go to waste.They sell solderless connectors (below) and a wide variety of cables so you can use them anywhere you want.

Congratulations on their first patent!

How I Set Up My Lights

I purchased two kits (before the longer light strips were included), a mini distribution block, and a 4” interconnect cable. I mounted one strip under the arm….

…and the other on a paint stick hung on the handle with wire tie loops…WAIT there's a reason for this madness. The lights are at the perfect angle for the needle area of my machine and they are easily removable when I switch to the back of my machine. Ahhh! Not professional looking but it works really well.

The mini distribution block is mounted on the top rail with a wire tie. It’s connected to the switch using the 4” cable. This way I only needed one on/off switch for all the lights. The extra switch and power source will be used to add lights to my Jane.

Inspired LED offers easy online chat for questions and “how to” videos on their website. I just noticed if you mention "free pen" in the comments at check out they’ll send you a free LED flashlight pen….. Darn I missed that with my order.
