It's called the Visual Mate II. I got it on sale with a 40% off online coupon from Joann's and the shipping was free. I probably saved about $30.00. Anyway, it works like a charm. It is lightweight, actually lighter than the other one I used without the light. That cord looks like it would be cumbersome, but it really isn't. I have it plugged into an outlet near my nightstand. I do needlework before going to sleep. LOLOL Okay, you might think I look a little weird all hooked up and ready to stitch, but then, I am a little if not a lot weird!!!
Right now I am working on the piece below, for a friend's daughter, and the magnifying hoop is going to be a big help, plus it will save on my light bill too (Green) :-).
It's going to be warmer here tonight, in the higher 20's. Imagine that. By Friday we are expecting more freezing rain. What weird weather!
I'm off to work on a green card for the IO challenge coming up on Thursday. I have some images for other cards in the works too.
Thanks for stopping by to look and share. See you soon.

I too do needlework, cross-stitch, crochet, etc., and this light is perfection! Omigosh, Shirley I have to have one of these!!!
Can't wait to see your "etc." projects!!!
I'm sure that will be beautiful! That looks like a very useful gadget and one I could probably use one day soon! We got about 6 inches of snow over her, alot of it turned to ice and still on the ground. Brrr. Another storm coming up this weekend, they say. Yippee.
Awesome magnifying light you got there Shirley.
I love the piece you are doing.... it's gorgeous!
I had to bring the brass monkey in tonight.....we are absolutely freezing here!! We will see tomorrow what the ole groundhog has to say....hoping for an early spring.
Keep warm

I do SO love being an enabler, lol! Glad to see you stitching again!
That piece looks fabulous- can't wait to see it finished!
Ohhhh this is a gorgeous piece! You must show us some progress pictures :)
I'm totally hooked up when I stitch and it is a disaster when the doorbell rings or such. Not only do I wear the magnifier, I also listen to a book on CD most of the time when I stitch, and that is plugged in with headphones :) Not getting up QUICKLY when I stitch ;) Have fun!
Just stunning! Anesha
