I needed better lighting in my workspace. As I age, I am struggling with my vision. I crave outdoor natural lighting and this provides this perfectly. I love that is so positionable and has such smooth movement. The lighting is top notch! I can see colors like never before, and I find myself squinting much less after a long craft session! It really brightens up so much of my space, I just love it! It is great for weeding glitter vinyl too!
