Is the lighting good on this machine for old eyes?

I am 40 and have been wearing glasses since 22...lol It's a blue light that does not hurt your eyes. But of course you will need a bright room to sew properly. But I think this light works goog.

it will provide plenty soft light, as mentioned before it is a hassle to put everything together but once you are ready is very easy to operate.

I would strongly suggest the bulb strength advised. The notice is there for a reason. Unfortunately, I find that most lamps, pendants etc. have insufficient lighting for my 40+ old eyes!

Sure, but the lighting is mild. If you need a stronger light, like a blue or yellow day light, I suggest putting one of those in a clamp on work light.

Its a great light; I think the softness of the light would be good for what you are looking to do.

It gives a slight flourescent cast, a little harsh, slightly bluish (not glaringly). It works better if you don't put it right over your work/book--turn it at a slight angle. It does give good light which is what I need at my age and with some minor vision problems.

I have used this machine for the past two years and am very pleased with it. Surprisingly the lumens are not an issue with ambient light as long as the screen placement is not too far from the unit. The unit's compactness is an absolute bonus I wouldn't trade it for the world especially after using some monster machines that broke your arm just getting to the site. Thanks.

I would say this one work best in a darker room, it's not bad in a lighted room but to get a more crisp picture the best lighting would be a low amount

It's really used for looking down and is a good one. I use the magnifiers built into the computer programs.Sad to say, they are sometimes not ideal enough, old age, in my case, is a growing problem, the alternative toaging isn't worth trying just yet. This lamp has brightened and enlightened my life, daily for about 14 years.

I would say it is right in between the two colors. You can dim the light up and down to fit you preference too.

Not at all. It's perfect. I had my first one for at least 10 years. I could have just replaced the bulb but I wanted a new one for my place in Florida. You will be amazed at what you will see on the magnifying side. (it might scare you a little!). You'll see hairs that you never realized were there. It's great for putting on makeup and tweezing eyebrows.

I like mine. It's not too bright nor too dull. For the price I'd suggest trying it as you'll never have too much light..

In my opinion, no. I replaced a chandelier with this one and while I am quite happy with the look and quality of the light it doesn't put off a ton of light. Lucky for me I have other can lighting in this room therefore it is not an issue.

Yeah, I think it sufficient in poorly lit area. I use it in my small office with small window, I wear glasses and I can see it just fine.

Yes. It's works very well and is relatively quiet. The only thing that could be better is if the lights weren't so bright on the front of the machine.

Yes/No. You need the lights fairly dim to get a good result from this thing, and if the projector is far from it's screen getting the sharpness narrowed in for text can be tricky. It'll work in a pinch, but a large well lit room would not be good.

I'm an old bald guy, so makeup mirrors are not my strong point, but yes, I think so. I use it in a floor-mounted reading lamp where it does well. I would say it acts like a 40 watt incandescent, a little warmer than many LEDs. I think the very low heat production would be good in the make-up mirror.
