I have always needed a lighted magnifying lamp when I embroider. For years I used this model which worked well, but after time the springs would squeak, the arm wouldn't stay put, and the nuts that held the screws in place fell off and got vacuumed up until it finally fell apart. I have probably gone through 4 or 5 of them.
About 5 years ago my husband surprised me with a Luxo lamp that looked a lot like the spring one above but as the literature says the "45" patented internal spring K-arm offers an infinite number of adjustable positions and an adjustable neck moves the Magnifier, head vertically and horizontally to provide total flexibility. Once adjusted, perfect balance is maintained by tempered steel springs". Fabulously it does all that but last week it stopped working. What we thought was a simple bulb replacement turned into a switch problem. My husband looked on-line and saw they have a new LED model. To make a long story short this baby arrived at our door last night!!
Its wonderful the light is so bright I just love it!!
It goes where you want it to and stays put!
This is a shirt I am working on. I will show more in a later post.
