I need a focused light with magnificaion so I can sit on the bed watching TV & have that magnified light on my cross stitch. Will this to that?

The one I ordered has a very strong magnifier, and will work for cross stitch. It will not tip, the base is heavy and the wheels make it easy to move. I have not used it on carpeting, which could make it a litter harder to move, one just has to be careful. I use mine on a hard surface. The magnifier arm stays put and the the light is just great. I use mine when I am sewing. The only thing I think could be improved is the lid which covers the magnifier, it would be better if it would lay flat when opened. I use my daily and I like it.

I believe this magnifier may do the job since it has a light source attached but the field of focus is not very large and my mom found a high quality hand magnifier and separate light source worked better for her - but she has trouble moving her work to the best position for clear viewing through the magnifier.

Yes. I study using this desk lamp. Its perfect...espcially its adjustable light intensities. It casts perfect and even light over my book and a notepad. Hope that helps

I would only if you have it close to the subject. Mine does not put out much light after about a foot. The magnification is good and the gooseneck is flexible.

I would have to say no. It's more of a spotlight. It's good for lighting up a table top for when you're doing crafts or sewing, but it wouldn't light the whole room.

It is mostly a focused light. For most desk purposes like general lighting it would not be adequate.

Yes it sure could. I have one eye that had a retina bleed and went almost blind and I can see to string beads on the elastic. It has two sides so I'm sure if one side isn't enough turn the magnifier over and that side will be stronger.

Yes! I have mine on my vanity in my bedroom. The lighting in my room varies alot. However, with the mirror (esp the magnification side) and the light from it, I can see just fine to apply makeup and pluck my brows. AM VERY PLEASED!!! BUY IT!!! :)

I should think so. Yes. I get both my hands under there when stitching. I love my magnifier.

I would say yes. When you apply the zoom option, the beam get smaller and focused, creating a brighter effect.

Yes this headband magnifier will be in good focus at 18 to 24 inch range. I am happy with mine. I spread butterflies using mine. I have no focus problems at 24" or much closer. For the price this magnifier is as good or better than much more expensive one.

I ordered it and returned it...I would have used it for cross stitching and I didn't give enough of a circle light. I now use a Daylight lamp which seems to have a larger surface of light. This might be OK for a desk if you are working right under it.

it will work for anything you need to see magnified, it has the standard magnifying lens that is stationary, then a secondary lens for double the strength that flips down from inside the visor, then the little circular lens that will twist around for a 1 eyed look at something really small or up close...the LED light is not as bright as I would like but it is sufficient for close contact, it is detachable and requires 2-AAA batteries.....the head band is easy to adjust and fairly comfortable, some softer material in there would have been much better on my bald head but all in all, it's a really nice unit, and for the price, it's an awesome deal...hope that helped to answer your question it will work for anything you need to see magnified, it has the standard magnifying lens that is stationary, then a secondary lens for double the strength that flips down from inside the visor, then the little circular lens that will twist around for a 1 eyed look at something really small or up close...the LED light is not as bright as I would like but it is sufficient for close contact, it is detachable and requires 2-AAA batteries.....the head band is easy to adjust and fairly comfortable, some softer material in there would have been much better on my bald head but all in all, it's a... » Read More it will work for anything you need to see magnified, it has the standard magnifying lens that is stationary, then a secondary lens for double the strength that flips down from inside the visor, then the little circular lens that will twist around for a 1 eyed look at something really small or up close...the LED light is not as bright as I would like but it is sufficient for close contact, it is detachable and requires 2-AAA batteries.....the head band is easy to adjust and fairly comfortable, some softer material in there would have been much better on my bald head but all in all, it's a really nice unit, and for the price, it's an awesome deal...hope that helped to answer your question « Show Less

If the magnifier is required, along with the illumination, then it is a reasonable choice. However, if the magnification is not an issue, then perhaps an LED book light would function as well or better.

I don't think it will. It is for magnifying TV image. I am afraid from what my mother-in-law has told me from using it, it does not provide much clarity.

I don't know about your mothers specific needs but the light is very easy to adjust to focus on a specific spot. I bought my light for my mother who is going blind. The light and large print have allowed her to continue to read,one of her favorite pastimes.

I think it depends on how much light you require. I use it in my bedroom and it is definitely not enough light to do my make up in the morning, I need a secondary light, but it is enough to read and watch TV in the evening.

just for a reading lamp, probably. I wanted it primarily for its magnification. Not good for that. The light produced is more ambient than direct lighting.
