Guide Review - Mighty Bright Vusion Craft Light

The Mighty Bright Vusion Craft Light is perfect for those stitching situations where portablity is a must. The lamp is small and light, but packs a powerful magnifier and two LED lamps. Choose from two different light settings - one lamp or two. I use this light when I need to do close-up work such as stitching over one on linen or evenweave fabric, but it will be useful for regular stitching projects as well.

The only difficulties I had with this lamp were that the light and magnifier are easy to position, but move out of position with the slightest bump as well. I also had to tinker with the light positioning to ensure that the lamps did not reflect in the magnifier.

Overview of features:
  • Use as a Light or Magnifier or both - two fully adjustable arms.
  • Magnifier and Lamp arms are easy to loop into a compact position for storage.
  • Magnetic base allows use as stand lamp (and also doubles as great needle storage when used as a clip lamp).
  • The clip is large enough to fit on almost any hoop or frame.
  • Powered by three AAA batteries (included) or AC adapter (not included).
  • Operate with one or both LEDs.
  • LED lights are cool to the touch and provide very bright light.
  • Available in three colors - purple(my favorite), teal, and gray.
