What a brilliant idea - my daughter has one of those in a box that I have stored here - perhaps I should recycle it my way!!!!

I have a father son , mother daughter light. The small light is on a flexible arm and I put in a small spot light great I can move it around while working.and the light comes from by my head. It is also great when free motion quilting as I shine light onto my hands. The light from machine comes from wrong place. My brother wears one of those elastic lights on a band used for camping when doing jobs around the house.

This sounds much more comfortable that the one I wear around my head.... can you tell us a brand or where you got it???
