recommendating for magnifying lamp
I have a Visual Mate LM747 and *love it*!! This one:
http://store.knitting-warehouse.com/071919.html But it's about 10 years old, and a few years ago, it wouldn't turn on, my DH had to replace the switch. It worked for a while, but now it's starting to not go on when I flip the switch, it takes 10 or 12 tries to get it to turn on. So I'm thinking it's time to replace it. But I can't find it locally at any retail stores in the western sububs of Chicago. I have no LNSs around me, only Michael's and Joanne's and Hobby Lobby. And I got a $50 gift card for Michael's at Xmas, so, of course, I went there first. They don't have it, only have Ott Lights. And I don't want an Ott light. At least, I don't think so. Can anyone recommend a suitable light similar to the Visual Mate LM747 that will hang from around my neck, have a wide, 3X magnifying lens, and a bright light? I don't have anything to clamp an Ott light to in my stitching area, I don't have floor space for a free-standing one. And the ones that clip onto the embroidery hoop are too tiny, both the lights and the magnifying lens. Dazors don't seem to fit the bill either. Any other ideas? Thanks, and Happy New Year! Audrey |

Why not just order that one since it is the one you want??
I was wondering if there is a different one that I should be looking for at a retail store to buy it locally, rather than having it shipped. I don't know what the other options are, besides Ott and Dazor. Those are the only ones I've heard of, I don't know if there are any others. I just noticed the subject line in my original posting: what is "recommendating"???? I'm glad you knew what I meant, Cathy! Thanks! Audrey |
