(in Rose's opinion)
Some months ago I saw an article (or advertisement?) with someone using a strip of LED lights fastened under the top bar of the beater on a loom, giving extra light on the fell of the cloth and especially for sleying the reed. I thought it was a brilliant idea and have been keeping my eyes open for something similar. I found the very thing at Harvey Norman while hanging around waiting for photos. What's more it was in a bargain bin! Here it is:in the packet . . .
and out of it . . .
Showing the switch on the top . . .
As you can see, it still works when removed from its base. It runs on 3 AAA batteries (supplied). I have attached it with a couple of loops of elastic and it makes a huge difference. I'm quite excited about it and recommend it to anyone who can find one. Unfortunately there are no more where I got mine but I'm sure a bit of searching on the internet or in other stores may turn up something similar.
