Reviews of Beam N Read LED 6 Deluxe Hands Free Light; Extra Wide & Bright

Customer Ratings:

I bought this product mainly for the hands-free magnifier so I could start cross-stitching again. The neck strap was too short, I could not keep it positioned where I wanted it on my chest, so the light shone more into my chest than down onto my stitching, and the magnifier actually made it harder for me to see my work.

I was contacted by email by the VP of the company, who asked me to edit my original review (which I have done in the paragraph above) because he thought it was unfair and suggested that I have vision problems. For the record, I have NORMAL VISION. In fact, maybe my vision is too good for this product. After years of being 20/15 or better, my vision is now a "mere" 20/20. Perhaps I require less magnification than this product offers.

I will not dispute that for many, this is a great product, but for me, it was not. Is this not the whole reason that amazon allows us to review products?? How else will other 5'10" women with good vision know that this may not work for them?

I love this booklight! Whenever my husband and I drive someplace, I bring my book along and he always complains about the light. But this booklight shines directly on the pages. It hangs around your neck so you don't have to keep adjusting it like you do with a clipon. It's also great if you like to read in bed.

I am able to make significant progress on a needlepoint picture because this light is as good as daylight in working on my project. Before I purchased this light, I had to lay my picture aside when the sun went down.

Honest reviews on Beam N Read LED 6 Deluxe Hands Free Light; Extra Wide & Bright

I purchased the Beam N Read for an elderly friend that will be 90 in October! I was at her house one day and she was talking to someone else about getting batteries for her flashlight in case the power should go out. She now walks with a walker and I thought how akward for her to balance a flashlight and her walker in the dark. So I found this little guy and sent it to her. She just loves it! It fits right into the pouch of her walker and all she has to do when she needs more light is to put it around her neck and it will "light her way!" Her hands are free to navigate the walker which makes her treks around the house safer.

If you are a knitter, embroiderer, hand quilter, etc. then this light will really work for you. I love it for when I am working in an area that is not well lighted, or especially as a passenger in the car. I get a lot of knitting done in the car, and I couldn't do it without this light. I used to use the previous model with the old type light bulbs. This version is so much better, much brighter, wider lit up area, bulbs last indefinitely. It's comfortable to wear and the light is directed just where you need it. I can't do without it.

Nov. 16, 2012: I want to add that during the recent hurricane Sandy in NYC I used the Beam N Read constantly during the blackout. It was much better than a flashlight. My hands were free while I walked around the apartment and it lighted my way, as well as lit whatever I was looking at or doing. I was even able to knit, which kept me calm. It certainly kept me from tripping over anything while walking around in the dark, beautifully lighting the floor ahead of me. I wore it all the time during the hurricane blackout.

If you are knitting with a dark color yarn it really helps your work to have a bright light, too.
