But what is a 'good light' is a matter of personal preference. This type of light
shines directly on the lace, creating shadows of the threads (and of the pins in
bobbin lace). I have tried a borrowed Ott light and hated it. At home I use a strong
uplighter to shine on a white ceiling which provides a more diffuse light that suits
me. So my advice to Jen is try before you buy to find out what suits you. If there are
IKEA shops in Oz, they do a little stand up halogen that's very cheap.
And the same applies to magnifiers. Some make me feel nauseous and some work fine. My
guess is that imperfections in some lenses interact badly with the astigmatism
corrections in my glasses.
