Yes, magnifying craft lights can significantly reduce eye fatigue by providing clear magnification and consistent lighting. They’re especially helpful during longer sessions or when working with dark fabrics and fine detail.
Can I adjust the angle or position of the lamp?
Most lamps come with flexible necks or adjustable arms, allowing you to position both the light and lens where you need them most. This adjustability supports better posture and customises your workspace.
Do these lamps come fully assembled?
Many lights arrive either fully assembled or require only minimal setup, like attaching the base or charging the battery. The process is simple and straightforward, so you can start using your lamp almost immediately.
