Hilly Report post Posted September 4, 2009 I have to admit, getting older isn't easy, especially if you like doing small, detailed work. I find my bifocals aren't strong enough, and my eyes water, and I have trouble focusing beyond the end of my nose. Lights aren't bright enough, print isn't big enough, etc. Even with 3 different gooseneck lamps and a strong overhead source of light, I didn't feel it was enough. I decided to buy myself one of those lights that you put on the bill of a cap, but the first one I got wasn't good for much. Then I bought myself a techlite "Super Bil-Lite", and I'm a believer! These little lights are quite bright, and place a nice bright light right where your eyes are looking, without shadows from your hands getting in the way! I wish I'd have gotten this one a long time ago! You can find and learn about them here. I hope it helps some of you like it helped me. No, I'm not affiliated. I just like sharing stuff that helps me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClayB Report post Posted September 5, 2009 Hi Hilly, I know where you are coming from. I finally gave in and got myself a pair of real glasses with progressive lenses in them. The reading glasses were getting to be a real hassle. Even with the glasses, I can use some help with close up work so I got a Mini Techlight headband with the clip on magnifier. It really does help to see what you are doing on the small details. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
