I bought a similar LED light set (longer light strips, of course) for undercabinet kitchen lighting, and the amount of light those tiny bulbs produce is amazing. ------ “Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.” -Robert Heinlein and Ann's father.

Maybe it's because we buy so many LEDs for our boat that I'm familiar with prices but my god, I was expecting these to cost about $20. You could easily get a standalone IKEA LED and mount it there for even less than that... ------ www.fehrtrade.com

This very pricey little invention seems like a natural outgrowth of under-cabinet illumination technology. It's a wonder no one has thought of using it on a sewing machine before, since good lighting there is always, always a concern for us. Certainly, such a small number of LEDs should not be costly in themselves; the price probably reflects the fact that it's a new idea for a niche market, and maybe there's a bit of engineering in making the electrical connection unobtrusive. Take a look at the price for this different approach to the problem. -- Edited on 9/17/12 1:02 PM --
