The description is pretty clear...

> The Tiny Task LED Light isn't your average task light. A mere four inches tall, the Tiny Task LED Light is a miniature lamp reminiscent of traditional desk lights. It's cute. It's fun. And it's functional. You'll find yourself twisting its neck to bring the lampshade head to life. Push the LED on to illuminate the task at hand - or just leave the light on your desk for a little added spunk. We won't be surprised if you start making your own animated shorts featuring the Tiny Task Light.

You can absolutely do it. Some tips:

  • Make a copy of the pattern before you start. I think all their patterns are downloadable so you can probably easily get another copy but just in case.

  • Organize the floss for your project. I used cardboard strips but if I had it to do over again I'd use these rings and plastic bobbins. Write the color number and the corresponding pattern color symbol on the plastic bobbin in Sharpie.

  • You're going to want to cross off each stitch on the pattern as you go, so treat yourself to a retractable highlighter. I recommend a colored one like pink or blue instead of the traditional yellow-- I've been using a yellow one and when I'm working on it at night sometimes it's hard to tell if I've marked a block or not.

  • I clamped a Mighty Bright book light to the top of my hoop and it's doing an admirable job of keeping me from going blind.

    Get in there and start that sucker!

I think I found it here.

u/100percentstupidbitc · 5 pointsr/CrossStitch

Are you thinking like lamp or just a small light to attach to your project? You can typically find little clip on book lights that you can attach to your hoop or frame like this or something that you can wear around your neck and adjust like this

u/CuriousInformation · 4 pointsr/RemarkableTablet
u/notamos · 4 pointsr/CrossStitch

I have one of these that hangs around my neck and shines onto the hoop/frame, which lets me wear my normal glasses or magnifiers, whichever works better for me that night.

u/dubyrunning · 3 pointsr/flashlight

This is the king of reading lights, in my opinion. Has three color temperatures ranging from 3000K to 6500K (love that 3000K at night!) and three brightness settings for each temperature. Has a battery indicator too. Nothing beats a clip-on book light for reading, especially one this nice and feature-rich. Goes for $11.39 on Amazon with the 5% coupon.

Have a look at this one:


LED Book Light, Mofek USB Rechargeable Reading Lamp, 4-Level Brightness(Warm), Eye Protection Clip On Reading Light for Night Reading https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GW6WBPW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9aDDDbHRSKAKF

It works well for my Onyx Boox Note Plus (a 10.3” tablet). I clip it to the bottom chin, and rotate the UI so that’s the top. It’s also an orange-ish light, has a goose-neck bendable clip, is reasonably sturdy, charges with USB, and is $13.

I just did Paint the Point last month in Mineral Point, Wi. Some recommendations based on what I learned (but might not apply due to your medium/type of event).

  1. My plein air teacher taught me that the light changes about every 8 minutes. It's also close to impossible to paint the whole thing in that amount of time. Her suggestions were to do two things: take a picture and work around the light at first. (NB: some events don't allow pictures to be used as references at all)
  2. Be prepared to pack up everything you take out. Especially for oil painters, a baggie to put paper towels in is a must.
  3. Bring snacks and beverages. This removes those distractions and also can be a reason to take a break to get a new look on the subject.
  4. Wear dark clothing. This is generally smart in painting, but plein air in daylight and colors can really reflect onto your canvas/paper.
  5. If you're hiking in, trim down what you're bringing, be mindful that carrying that folding chair may be easy for a block, but a couple miles through trees? Nope. However, I got a SitGo for doing urban sketching and plein air painting and I love it.
  6. If you're in a competition, bring a frame, pen, paper, tape, and an easel to display the art.
  7. If you have business cards, bring them. Even in the middle of the woods strangers will find you and look at your art.
  8. Speaking of, if you're not a social person, headphones will help keep a bubble around you.
  9. Be prepared for things like wind to knock a pochade or easel box over. There are little hammocks you can make/buy that will go under your tripod/easel and can be filled with rocks to help keep it weighed down.
  10. Most everything can be ruined by rain. Be prepared to either cover or put away things quickly-including a wet canvas or pallette.
  11. If you're doing a nocturne, bring a lamp that can do both cold and warm light. I liked this little one which could have the brightness and color changed.
u/JBaby_9783 · 3 pointsr/kindle

This is what I use with mine. If you find that it flips off too easily just add some grip to it. It’s worth it. I love this light!!!

u/alfjan · 3 pointsr/crochet

I use a flexible book lamp clipped on the couch or my bra strap. Just found this gadget and might give it a try for an upcoming roadtrip https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MYGAGZV/ref=zg_bs_1063290_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=P53749HFPSJH8EAGSY6V

u/stephenadam · 2 pointsr/RemarkableTablet

This is the one I liked best.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B079LYZCJ9?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

The light is a warmer 300k than many LEDs, it’s has 4 stages for light strength, with the lowest being very low and dim (which I prefer). It has a flat profile and recharged by plugging into a USB port. A single charge lasted me 3 weeks with an hour or so of use many days.

I clip mine to my case and then rest my tablet on the case as I write.

u/vedgehammer · 2 pointsr/SonyAlpha
u/Blastercorps · 2 pointsr/pens

Hmm, that's an interesting request. Most people want to see more than the word under the pen so they use a book light. And most light up pens are novelties, and use button batteries. I don't know of any high quality light up pens/pen lights. All my searches come up with promotional pens that use button batteries and you have to order 50+ of.

u/DrStealthE · 2 pointsr/flashlight

I use a clip on light. This lets me also use on a plane when traveling and adjust tint so sleep disturbing blue light is reduced.

u/chhhyeahtone · 2 pointsr/gaming

Why not just buy a book light?

u/dartheighter · 2 pointsr/CrossStitch

I use this! It has two brightness settings and it’s rechargeable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYGAGZV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GvFkDb7J6XY3G

u/Digger-of-Tunnels · 2 pointsr/books

I just bought one of these Mighty Bright Book Lights, and I'm happy with it so far. It wasn't too expensive, clips onto my book without being too heavy, and shines a nice bright reading light.

My wife ordered one this morning, because she wished she had mine.

u/jphoenix · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

let there be light! - it's in the main list.

HOLY CRAP YOU'RE INSANE AND AWESOME

u/Evan_Macrone · 2 pointsr/suggestmeabook

Try the Mighty Bright 47012 Book Light. It's lightweight, rechargeable, and seems to be just what you're looking for. Here's a URL link to amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Bright-47012-Recharge-Light/dp/B00NOP2JC0

u/ABL228 · 2 pointsr/JUSTNOFAMILY

You are definitely under reacting!

I think that your "normal meter" is broken. Because nothing about what you described is 'normal' in a healthy environment (family or otherwise).

You are being abused (physically, verbally, mentally, emotionally) & continually manipulated.

THIS IS NOT A HEALTHY FAMILY DYNAMIC.

THIS IS NOT HOW PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU ACT.

THIS IS NOT OKAY.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

If you haven't been documenting this behavior/physical attacks, you need to start now. If you can safely record or take videos (& its legal in your state) do so. Make sure that the recordings/videos are stored in a cloud that is password protected (& not attached to your normal email/phone number). Use a new email account (gmail) & a password that isn't written down anywhere (maybe leave a sealed envelope with the information in a secured spot at your workspace to give to the police if something happens)? There are recommendations (in the sidebar here & on some of the other justno subs) on how to write down what happens in a composition notebook, but please don't store this any place that it might be found by your abusers.

Have you talked to your therapist about the physical abuse & ongoing verbal/physical threats?

Most therapists don't suggest a discussion/rule setting/negotiation of behavior with someone who won't stop an attack or encourages an abuser. They suggest an exit plan - the sooner the better.

No amount of discussion with your Mother is going to change her behavior or help you. She isn't willing to get your brother out of her life or yours. For whatever reason, she is encouraging, provoking, & enabling his behavior. She wants you to stay so that you can continue to be a victim for him (& her, as needed).

You need to stop setting yourself on fire to keep everyone else warm.

YOU DO NOT owe your mother or siblings ANYTHING.

They are adults who are actively choosing to remain in a behavior pattern that is violent & self destructive.

It sounds like there are some serious psychological problems along with a cycle of violence that are way beyond what you can or will ever be able to help with. IT IS NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS.

The physical/verbal abuse between your brother & mother is something that you can not involve yourself with anymore. They don't want to change their behavior & see nothing wrong with it.

They may be your biological family, but they don't want your protection/help/intervention & nothing you do or say will change anything (except further damage you). THEY need to WANT to change (& it doesn't seem like any of them want to do this).

By staying in the home them/this situation, the chance of one of them hurting you or even killing you is extremely high. It might not be entirely deliberate, but violence continues to escalate & they have already shown that they are willing to hurt you.

Is there a way for you to move out now? Not necessarily an apartment (unless you can find a tiny studio), but as a roommate? A room for rent in an apartment or house (ask around if a friend or co-worker has room or knows of someone who might or even via an ad on Craigslist) somewhere locally? You need to get out of that house YESTERDAY.

Moving to a safe location locally for the next 4-5 months until you can move 800+ miles away is a very good idea. If you can move to the new location now, that would be a good idea.

If you can move, do not tell your mother or siblings where you are moving to, block them from your phone (or port your number to google voice & change your actual mobile phone number), forward all of your mail to a PO Box, & cut off all contact with them immediately.

Your biological family is dangerous to you & they only want you around to be a victim for their behavior.

Advise your HR & supervisor at work that your family has been violent towards you in the past & made threats. If your family attempts to show up at your work, the workplace can have them arrested for trespassing.

Talk to your local police department about the threats & previous attacks by your family. They probably won't be able to issue a restraining order unless you have additional proof (video, hospital visits, etc.). This is how you can make sure that the police know the situation & they won't investigate if your Mom attempts to report you missing, etc. They can advise if a "No Contact Order" sent by an attorney would be a good idea (if you want to pursue a restraining order).

----------

To make your move easily portable & give you very little furniture for your move, here are some suggestions for items that can easily pack into an average size car with your clothes & personal items.

A well made double height queen size airbed/air mattress (typically less than $100, but max $150). Look for the ones with internal reinforcement, as they are more comfortable for long term sleep (& I know people who have replaced their long term mattress with one).
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MZTS6GB/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D3C73GH/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HK3Y6SS/

A thick mattress pad with a feather bed under it, & some cotton/flannel sheets with a blanket or 2, a thick comforter, & a couple of pillows.

Having a thick mattress pad & feather bed (or even another comforter) under the mattress pad will be more comfortable overall & keep a good barrier between the cool air in the bed & your body (so you don't get too cold at night).

TJ Maxx & HomeGoods (or similar) almost always have mattress pads, comforter & sheet sets in their clearance sections. Even at full price, they have all of the items & are almost always less expensive than most stores (including WalMart/Meijer). Occasionally Target will have a sale & their sheets are a decent price. I have bought quite a few sets of 100% cotton high end sheets that have lasted for years at TJ Maxx/HomeGoods. You can sometimes find nice blankets & comforters at Goodwill, Thrift Stores, or garage sales (& they are super cheap!).

A folding camping table & a lamp that can clip onto it become a bedside table.

An oversized folding chair with a throw blanket becomes a comfy place for you to sit in your bedroom.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JZSWP2S/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P27CTYQ/

All of your clothes can be hung in the closet & items that don't hang (sweaters, socks, underwear) can go into portable shelving with a few drawer inserts.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZ6CGL2/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NMTUBF0/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CG4D8WL/

For any storage (like extra shoes, summer clothes, or extra sheets/blankets), you can use soft boxes & put on the upper shelf or stack on the floor of the closet.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YWFY9K4/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PCNGJP8/

If you end up in a studio apartment & need kitchen items, check your local thrift/recycle stores. You can buy individual cups, dishes, silverware, cooking implements, pots & pans - just enough for 1 person instead of whole sets - which you may not need right now.

When you are moving, you can condense all of your soft items (sheets, blankets, pillows, & clothing) down to a much smaller size by using compression vacuum bags. They are also great for longer term storage!

u/Wasazabi · 2 pointsr/Gunpla

Sure! I just followed this tutorial from Gunpla101. I used parchment paper as my light diffusers and these clip on lamps as my light sources.

u/Bigstar976 · 1 pointr/suggestmeabook

This is what I’m using and I absolutely love it. It’s rechargeable, each side light has three different brightness settings and you can bend the arms into any position you want. Also works real well for walking your dog early in the morning, btw.

u/Lumen00 · 1 pointr/CrossStitch

I really like these. It's lightweight, rechargeable, and I can clip it on a hoop or scroll frame. The one is 35 lumens bright. They also have one that's brighter and a smaller one. I had an Ottlite before, and the light was really nice, but it stopped charging all of a sudden after a few months.

u/DiDgr8 · 1 pointr/ereader

Most folks study and take notes in a well lit room and a built-in frontlight isn't needed. If you don't have that, there is always a booklight like this that works OK.

But bigger really is better for what you're doing.

u/NicV06 · 1 pointr/CrossStitch

I bought a Luminolite from Amazon. It’s a rechargeable LED that you wear around your neck. I love it!

u/createitinc · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I think you should get yourself this light cause it can attach to a lot of things besides books so it seems like it'd be really useful of sorts. I think it'd be the most uses for your buck so to speak hehe.

u/harveydanger23 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This would be the cheapest right now!

Thanks for doing this!

u/microsofat · 1 pointr/flying

A reading light that hangs around your neck, like this one. Useful for reading maps, lighting instrument panels up, etc. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07CKT72ZZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_u5y7BbGN5AQEX
Look around, I think there's one out there with a red light as well.

Is this like the one you got? There are so many different lights out there, I'm having a hard time narrowing them all down!

u/coalhoof · 1 pointr/productivity

Looks like if I were to buy this stuff today, I would end up turning off the kindle's backlight & using something like this LED Book Light, Warm/Cool White 6500K/3000K. Lower than 3000K would be better, but it's fine. Anyway, there it is. :D
