The Beam N Read Hands Free Light has been on of my list of most favorite must-have items of all time. Why, you ask? Because it makes me brighter!!! Need proof? The photo above is proof. I did not know what a "selfie" was prior to a few days ago. Since learning, I was able to take a "selfie" while wearing my Beam N Read Light. Not the type of bright you were thinking about? Look, I gotta take all the "bright" I can get any way I can get it. I realize the look on my face is a bit "interesting/scary" however, I'm just learning my new skill and it may take time to figure this out :)
Is this pix better for you? I hope so and I also hope you notice I made the strap myself....I'm calling that a "my-selfie." The Beam N Read Lights come with an adjustable neck strap and I removed mine to add a more personalized strap. You like frilly straps...you can make a "your-selfie" that is frilly. Honestly, my co-workers take mine and then claim it is theirs. Now when I find it in their room under their beds, I know for certain which one is mine. Yes, the love to get under their bed with their Beam N Read Lights and look at Pokemon cards. To each their own...giggles.
Did you know the Beam N Read 6 LED Light comes with a fresnel magnifying lens? 100% TRUTH...it does and I like using mine for hand stitching, applique and punch needle embroidery. It would be nice for reading small print too.
Since I had just finished this gift I used it as a prop in my "selfie" session :)
(Orange Filter Attached)
More very cool features include an orange and a red filter that snaps on the front of the Beam N Read Light. The orange filter is great to use when I want to be on the computer in the evening. I find the blue white light from computer and tech screens annoying and that light actually make it more difficult to fall asleep as well. My solution? I put the orange filter on my Beam N Read Light at night while using my laptop, it helps a great deal. The red filter is good for night vision. Below you can see the red lens attached.
This a white towel I made for a college age neighbor friend illuminated by my Beam N Read with the red filter attached.
The Beam N Read Hands Free Light uses 4 AA Batteries. I know your next question is going to be....how often do you need to change the batteries, am I right? The answer, I don't know. I have yet to need to change mine and I've had my Beam N Read Light for approximately 3 years. Suffice to say they last a good long time :)
You can also use a AC adapter or a vehicle adapter if you choose not to use batteries.
With the recent winter ice storm I know there are plenty of people who could definitely use a Beam N Read Hands Free Light and probably wished they had received one for a gift this holiday season!!!
According to the weather channel there are still millions of people without power. Having a Beam N Read Light during storms is really helpful because you don't have to hold a flash light while you are carrying wood in for the fireplace or other things in your hands.
Weather you loose power due to a ice storm or a tornado like they had in Oklahoma this past year,
I think you can definitely see the advantages to being prepared....not to mention having an excellent needle work light.
