Vekkia Lightweight Neck Reading Light - 3 Colors, 9 Brightness Levels. Rechargeable & Hand - Free. for Reading in Bed, Knitting, Crocheting, Sewing & Crafts, with Long - Lasting and Portable Design

This light is great for crocheting in the evening!I have excellent vision but I like to crochet while watching tv in the evening, when we keep the overhead lights in the room on dim. That’s fine for watching tv but not for close up multitasking.These light give just the right amount of brightness & sharpness for me to see my work very clearly, without distracting anyone next to me & it helps avoid a lot of eye strain.It feel like good build quality, like something you would get in a Sharper Image catalog. It really doesn’t feel cheap, like I was expecting. That impressed me.Also, I haven’t noticed that it gets warm, even after 3 hours of usage. It stays cool to the touch.I like that you can adjust the angle of both sides the way you need it and it’s long enough that it clears my umm, chest.The lights on each side work independently, which I though would be important, but it’s not really. I find that I prefer to keep them both on the same setting & on high.The low and medium are accurate brightness too, neither is too dim or too bright.The battery seems to last roughly 10 hours. I recharge them every 3-4 days and it works with any properly sized charger cable, not just the one that came with it.Its quite comfortable & lightweight to wear, the battery part is smooth against the back of my neck. I forget it’s there after a minute.My only minor negative, if you can even call it that, is that I don’t notice all 9 light settings. To me, it looks like 3: low, medium, high.I’m particular about color values and generally prefer neutral white light for task lighting so the differences must be pretty subtle if I don’t notice it. Since the left and right work independently, I’ve even tried to compare them against each other and I’m not noticing a color difference as I click thru the settings, just the difference in brightness. But it’s not a big deal, I’m very happy with the color. Its perfect.This light, in my opinion, was a very good buy, especially for the price. It was an impulse buy but it’s definitely been very useful and I’m sure it’s better for my eyes in the long run.

Perfect for reading and crafting. Light brightness adjustments make it perfect. Very flexible and comfortable on my neck. The size is just right for my needs. This would make a great gift for crafters and readers.Seller was very quick to respond when the charging cable that is included with the light did not work. They immediately shipped me a replacement and this cable works well.

Use at night to walk the dog. Lights the path and easy to use. Great for camping too.

Currently, I'm finishing some knitting projects for Christmas gifts. No spring chicken anymore, my eyes have difficulty with dark colors in not-so-bright light. These work great. The battery lasts at its brightest long enough for a sizable section to be done. Once it starts to dim, I know it's time to take a break before the arthritis sets in causing problems.I like that the lights have additional settings and can be aimed & adjusted in which ever direction you need: drape them around your neck, adjust and start in.I haven't tried them yet with crocheting and/or embroidery. They're upcoming projects - but they work great knitting black, navy and earth tones. Don't need them as much on pastels, Using fine double-point or circular needles the light is exactly where you need the extra boost.Only one small complaint - I wish they could be about 4" longer from tip to tip. Typical Grandma - I have a slightly larger 'front shelf' than some. It blocks the light when it slips. OOPS!

This is the latest addition to my "where has this been all my life?" list of Amazon must-buys! As an avid reader and newbie crochet addict whose eyesight isn't what it used to be, I've been looking for a lighting solution to help me read and work at home and while traveling. After trying nearly every solution out there — including portable floor and desk lamps, clip-on book lights, headlamps, lighted readers, etc. — I decided to try these after seeing them demonstrated in an online crochet tutorial video and couldn't be happier with them. When the box arrived I was sure there had been some mistake, as it seemed impossibly small and light. But these really do fold up into a small form factor for storage or traveling, and they're so light that I sometimes forget I'm wearing them if they're not turned on. The adjustable brightness levels and color temperatures work perfectly, and I like the fact that each light can be turned on independently if needed (saves battery life too.) Charge seems to last for days, too.

Right by my bedside and a big help when I need extra light

As odd as it may sound, I bought this for skin care with my boyfriend. He tends to get ingrown in his beard that are painful and I struggled to help because I couldn't see what I was doing very well. It was awkward having him hold up his phone flashlight while I looked too. This light is perfect! I can put it around my neck or even twist it up and set it to the side so it shines at the right angle. It's super flexible, has three brightness settings and love that it's rechargeable. We've used it for eyebrow grooming, etc too and works like a charm. I also crochet and I can see how this would be really nice for that as well!

I've been using the first one nearly 3 years and still going strong. Of my own negligence, I closed a drawer right above the light part, and its working with electrical tape bandage, but I use it so much, I don't want to do without! I'm ordering for the 3rd time. (One was a gift still in use.)It did not come with its own charging cable, but that's one less to keep up with and I already had one.I recommend!!
