Just remember to have a diffuser on your LEDs, the diffuser eliminates the shadows you have without a diffuser. Also, LEDs can bother your eyes because of the shadows. We have placed LED lights under our kitchen cabinets and it is amazing the difference they make when preparing food. I agree with you LED lights are great and having a dimmer is great.

Not everyone has a separate dining area and for those who dine in the kitchen you’d know that dimmers work wonders in switching from food preparation to dining mode. Also, LEDs are really bright and many make the mistake of installing too many. Remember if you are planning to have other accent lighting as well try to reduce the number of recessed LEDs in your ceilings. My favourite element in LEDs is that they are able to withstand dimmers.

Also, 16 LEDs are not much. For your sewing area check out our See and Sew LED Light! There are two removable LED puck lights and each light contains 60 LEDs. When working with LED lights the positioning is also important. Our sewing light has 1 LED puck light to the left of the needle and one LED puck light placed at the back of the needle. This position lights up your entire sewing area with 120 LEDs. Our LEDs provide white light so matching fabric is easy. Check out the Green Talk video & YouTube video, I think you'll find these LEDs are the answer. Patty You are correct cheap LEDs do not enhance your lighting. Also, 16 LEDs are not much.

They are efficient and easy-to-use. That's why more and more people prefer buying them. I completely agree that LED lights are our future. They are efficient and easy-to-use.

They are everywhere throughout South East Asia. To think that it now takes six lights at a minimum for an average room is frustrating when I am sure Edison light globe, you know the single one in the middle of each room was far more efficient over time.

I've tried fluorescent and halogen, which did not work at all. I could not match fabric (light was yellow) and halogen produced too much heat and used too much electric. Started looking on the web & found replaceable, white LED lights that are great!!! To get the light where I wanted it I started designing a special light to surround my sewing machine. The end result is I created a light that hugs my sewing machine in white light. Two weeks ago we installed the lights under the kitchen cabinets & it is wonderful. If you want to know more please e-mail me at sewinglight@sbcglobal.net. I experienced the same problems in my sewing room and kitchen. I’ve tried fluorescent and halogen, which did not work at all.

I am actually at Lightfair 2009 were LEDs are the rage. There are several companies actually producing great screw in lights. Some are not scheduled to come out until later this year and who knows price point (surely not costco prices...) Anna Al, wonder comment. I am actually at Lightfair 2009 were LEDs are the rage.
