5 Best Lighting for Crafting Rooms

For any crafting or sewing project to be successful, you will agree that sufficient lighting is important.

Whether you choose to sew during the day or night, there comes a time when the existing light in the room or even natural light may not be enough.

The lighting on sewing machines does offer great help but the scope of illumination can be sometimes limited.

When it comes to seeing the finer details of sewing and crafting projects well, you’ll discover that you do need a bit more help.

I’ve put together a list of the five best types of lamps to help provide you with exceptional visibility for your crafting and sewing projects.

1. Daylight UN1072 Naturalight Hobby Floor Lamp

This metal frame floor model lamp comes in cream or white and has a 27 watt tube light.

It was designed to be energy saving and thus eco friendly and the pivoting gooseneck allows you to swivel and direct the light to where you really need it.

This floor lamp takes the hassle out of positioning yourself to get the light you need.

Only minimal assembly is required to get you going.

While the neck on this one gives you flexibility, there is another with offers a lot more range of motion.

2. OttLite K94CP3 3-in-1 Adjustable-Height Craft Floor Lamp with Magnifier and Clip

Best Adjustable Crafting Room and Multi Use Lamp

This adjustable floor lamp works also on the table or desk and has a clamp attached as well.

It provides natural lighting which works just like daylight.

For me this is the ideal pick as it helps you to see fine print and colours as true as they are.

There is no glare from the bulb and it is also energy saving which is good for the environment.

The bonus features which I love are the hands free clip which can hold instructions while you craft or sew away.

The next feature is the 5X magnifying glass which enables you to see the finer details of your projects.

Both the magnifying glass and clip are attached via their own goosenecks which make them able to move in any direction you want.

This awesome lamp can extend as long as 73 inches which gives it an exceedingly wide range of functions.

This lamp is my top pick for an all around functional lamp.

Another amazingly functional lamp is one for desk use only.

It is the…

3. TaoTronics Aircraft-grade Alloy Dimmable LED Desk Lamp with USB Charging Port, Table Lamps for Office Lighting

If you really just want a desk lamp only, this model offers some excellent features which I will tell you about.

This contemporary looking model has an arm which can be adjusted over a 135 degree angle.

The head which holds the light bulb can be adjusted over a 200 degree range.

Both the arm and head have an ultra slim design.

A clever feature of this lamp is its ability to “remember” your last used light setting of which it has three.

It also has three levels of brightness for each setting which gives you a total of 18 options for lighting.

This desk lamp also comes equipped with a USB port which allows you to charge your devices while you work.

It has a brushed aluminium finish which adds style your desk or space.

To give you additional options for floor lighting, I will introduce a model with a unique feature.

It is the…

4. Daylight Duo Led Art & Craft Floor Lamp

This simple looking floor lamp has a lighting head split into two.

It allows light to be directed into two areas at the same time, to the left and the right.

The flexible arm allows you to position the light beams to shine where you need them to.

On the arm is also a touch activated ‘switch’ which makes it possible to adjust the range of brightness.

There are four different levels of brightness over which the two LED bulbs function.

One of the functions is able to mimic the lighting provided by natural daylight conditions.

The height of the lamp can extend to 52 inches.

The design of this lamp makes it perfect for sewing and crafting.

The final lamp we will review is another floor lamp with versatile functions and features.

This lamp can be classified as…

5. TROND LED Gooseneck Floor Lamp

The Best Adjustable Floor Lamp for Crafting and Sewing with a Timer

To begin, this lamp can double as a floor lamp and also a desk lamp because of how it can be adjusted.

The length of the neck is 11.8 inches and when fully extended you can get a height of between 53 and 59 inches.

There are three removable poles to build height.

When removed they leave behind a flexible gooseneck.

The flexible gooseneck design allows you to position the light to shine just where you need it.

This lamp will not light up the entire room but is ideal for targeted projects such as sewing, crafting, knitting, reading or bedroom lighting.

It has five different colour temperature settings based on what you will be using it for.

The lamp can also be operated at five different dimming levels.

The on or off switch facilitates the activation of the timer.

A two second press of the switch sets the timer for a 30 minute auto off function.

I like the way the ingenious design of the light function works.

Because the light does not disperse very much, you can use it while in the same room with someone else and it will pose no disturbance to them.

This feature also makes it produce a very targeted beam to illuminate your projects in a more than adequate way.

I’m also sold on the fact that this light is anti-flicker which serves to protect the user’s vision.
