Excellent LED head lamps at Home Depot. I expect also at Lowe's. (or further west, Andersons' or Menards?)

I could try to find his email, or see him next week. He hates the acrylic ones since they collect dust due to static electricity. What he found is a magnifier which uses a convex and concave lens stuck together so you get an even magnification instead of having a focal area surrounded by some distortion. He said the plastic version is about $40 USD and the glass one was around $120 USD. If you are interested in this let me know and I will attempt to contact him. He does those Scarlet Quince cross stitch projects (http://www.scarletquince.com/). I have always loved Durer's Hare, so I might have to do this one. It's only around 77910 stitches so not too bad. One thing he noted, that I must say should have been obvious but appears to not be, is that he uses head lamps (the camping kind). He says look for LED with a wide even spread. He said they have a nice white that allows for great color clarity. I strap a book lamp to my pillow some days. I'll be looking for a nice head lamp soon.

It is time for me to get a new one, and I have never really been happy with the one I have anyhow.
