Knitting, crochet & close craft work
Working with dark yarn, counting stitches or following a chart in the evening? Compare a wearable knitting light, a floor lamp beside your chair and a rechargeable magnifier for close detail.
Choose a light for the way you sit, the space you have and the detail you want to see.
Start with where you make
Choose focused light that moves with you, a lamp that keeps your table clear, or an illuminated lens that enlarges the work.
Sofa knitting & dark yarn
Direct two flexible light heads towards your needles, hook or printed pattern without needing a side table.
A dedicated knitting chair
Position the two shades beside your chair, spread them over the project or aim them towards one detailed area.
Small stitches & close detail
Enlarge close handwork, small pattern details or stitch repairs through a lighted lens on a folding table base.

Runtime depends on brightness, battery condition and use. A magnifier needs the lens and project positioned at a suitable working distance to produce a sharp image.
Daylight Magnificent Pro A25090 combines a 13cm, 1.75× lens with floor, table and task-light configurations. Choose it when you want a larger illuminated viewing area and a mains-powered setup.
Explore Magnificent ProDaylight Foldi Go A35050 is a rechargeable table lamp with an adjustable arm, rotating shade and carry case. It offers four brightness levels and CRI 95+ lighting, without a magnifying lens.
Explore Foldi GoStart with light you can aim directly at the stitch you are working. A Lumos neck light keeps the source close to your hands; a floor lamp can spread light over a larger project. Change the angle if your hands or hook cast a shadow, then adjust the brightness to suit the yarn and room.
If you also want the stitch enlarged, choose a magnifying lamp. A neck light provides illumination but does not magnify.
A neck light suits changing seats, travelling or working without space for a lamp base. A floor lamp suits a regular knitting chair where you have a nearby socket and room for the base. Check whether the arm can reach the project without sitting in the way of your hands.
Yes. Adjustable task lighting can illuminate a printed pattern, a book, embroidery or crochet as well as knitting. Pick the format for the task: wearable light for a focused area, a floor or table lamp for broader coverage, or a magnifier for close inspection.
Choose a plain task light when extra illumination is the main requirement. Choose an illuminated magnifier when you want to enlarge stitch placement, charts or small components. Halo Go offers a smaller 2.25× main view with a 4× inset; Magnificent Pro offers a wider 13cm lens at 1.75×.
More magnification does not automatically mean a better working view. Consider lens size and working distance. Cover magnifying lenses when unattended and keep uncovered lenses away from direct sunlight.
Runtime changes with brightness and battery condition. Halo Go is specified for up to four hours on high or eight hours on low; Foldi Go for approximately 3.5 hours high or eight hours low. Lumos can exceed eight hours on lower settings, depending on how its two heads are used. Charge before a longer class or trip and follow the selected model's instructions.
Look for a published colour-rendering index (CRI), as well as adjustable brightness and a useful lamp position. DuoPro, Foldi Go and Magnificent Pro are listed with CRI 95+. Avoid comparing brightness numbers measured at different distances as if they describe the same setup.
Choose the needles, hook or accessories your pattern calls for, then add lighting that fits your workspace.
