Finger Light

Today at Sit and Sew, one of the other quilters showed us a purchase she had made at the Craft and Quilt Show:
A finger light! I didn't see those when I was looking around at the show. I hadn't seen one in real life before, only on the internet. Various sites sell them in sets of multi-coloured lights, but for sewing only the white would be useful. An inidentified stand had just the white ones, for $3 each or 5 for $10. They take hearing-aid batteries, but I don't know if the batteries are replaceable, or how long they last. It is something that looks like it could be handy, but I suspect that they are the sort of item that will just add to the world's plastic waste problems.

I like good light, but this one is a bit too targeted for me.

I guess it another gadget you'd use for awhile and then discard.

Hearing aid batteries are expensive. Mine last for approximately 3 days;or 30 hours.

I can’t use a thimble, find them annoying on my fingers, so I wouldn’t try it. I agree that the light is too targeted.
