Do any of you have a light that hangs around the neck? If so do you like it?

I know some have a magnifying option and others are just focused lighting. I found all sorts of lights - just not what I was looking for. Do any of you have any ideas where I can find such a beastie? (Or I should say: Can you enlighten me? arrarr)

I have seen them, but I can't remember just where. I found one that goes over your ear like a phone piece. Did you want the magnifier too?

MadQuilter

I really don't know. I wonder if something with an ear piece would be painful after a while because I wear glasses.

wolfkitty

Yes, or it might not fit properly. Sorry.

Hi Madquilter, I have found the magnifier and the light that comes with it at Micheals , they have many of them .. I bought mine 3 yrs ago , and they have them all the time , I wanted another for my friend just a week ago, she loves it..

Nancy's Notions has one - Hands-Free Craft Light D117519 for $#.49 until 10/08 and free shipping. Keepsake just started advertising one that looks more substantial. It was in the last catalog but I haven't seen it in person yet.
Hope this helps.

My friend has used one for years and loves it. I should get one b/c her handquilting is awesome lol

MadQuilter

Thanks for the tips. I wonder how stiff the wrapping one from Keepsake is if you can also set it on the table. Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the local craft stores.

I was impressed that the batteries last 120 hours with this light... the price isn't bad either.
