Suggestions/Recommendatios for lighting for around the neck
As the eyes get older, I need better lighting especially when I am sitting in a chair either at my house or a friend's house where there is no lamp nearby. I have seen several types of lights that hang around your neck but would love to know if any of you have a recommendation for what works best. Do any of you use one you really like? What are the pros and cons of the different devices? I need to pick your brains on this subject .... unless this has already been discussed and I just don't know under what topic to look? Thanks for sharing if you can!

I am considering the little LED lights that clamp on my glasses. They have a little adjustable neck so you can put the light right where you want it. My LQS carry them for about $20 .

This one is supposed to be pretty good as long as you are not overly-well-endowed in a certain area:

I have a lighted magnifying glass that hangs around the neck. It's great. I just got it last week at Joann's with a 50% off coupon - think I paid about $10. It works great.

I'll have to check JoAnn's when I go over there today.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I have heard others say the Beam n' Read is a great light. (I don't have to worry about the endowment problem!) I like the idea of the LED lights that clamp onto glasses but have not seen them yet. I'll have to look them up for reviews. And why didn't I think to check out JoAnn's since I get their coupons? Thanks everyone! I need to do something about this problem soon or I will be sewing my project to my clothing or having to ask someone to thread my needles. I hate when I do either of those things.

I found a bendable light for my machine at Wal Mart, much less $ than the "quilters" brand. Wrapped it around my neck to do binding at MIL's & at a craft show. Worked quite well for the short time I used it.
