Awhile back I purchased a Bendable Bright Light for my Bernina and it has worked pretty well for me. I like being able to focus the light where I need it...like towards my lap when I'm frogging stitches! or to the sewing bed when I'm putting those stitches back in :-)
So recently on Bonnie Hunter's blog, she showed someone using a small flashlight that was magnetized and placed on her Featherweight (note...a non computerized sewing machine). This looked pretty cool but it made me wonder about something more flexible. I ordered a Mighty Bright Light and placed it on my machine yesterday.
The Mighty Bright Light comes with a plastic mounting holder and adheres to your machine with padded adhesive...something like the command strips but not as easily removed. The light fixture itself can be easily placed or removed from the holder.
I put it on the side of my Featherweight...had to readjust because there was a plate screw in the way... and found a nice addition to the sewing light already there.
Since my Featherweight stores in its case and part of the machine bed folds up, I take off the light for storage. This light uses a small battery...no cord and comes with an extra mounting holder in case you want to use it on a different machine. Here it is...Off.....and On.

I could really use an extra bit of light for my plain old brother machine. I will have to check these options out. Thanks!
