Replacing old incandescent bulbs with LEDs

An LED lamp is much brighter and the power consumption is very low,

Available in hardware stores, sewing centers, shopping centers etc.

The selection is large, suitable for every sewing machine.

Color temperature / brightness, 

The higher the number (K=Kelvin), the whiter the light.

2500-3000K = warm light, slightly yellowish (similar to a clasic light bulb)

4000K and higher = bright white/cool light ( cool white )

An LED bulb in the sewing machine should illuminate strongly and well. Not every LED is suitable for the sewing machine. At a low price one can assume that it is rather unsuitable because much too

weak with little light output, hardly better than the old 15W light bulb, LED optimal are: 3-5 W / 220V, 3000K / 4000K (socket B15d or E14)

Attention please note, do not confuse.! There are very similar incandescent lamps with the base BA15d ( push-in type) and type 1004, the NOT suitable for sewing machines.! There are 6V / 12V light bulbs for motor vehicles cars, mopeds etc. (the A stands for automobile)
