I’m getting into figure building and I was wondering if there is a “clip” style light that I could attach to the arm of my glasses so that I can more directly illuminate my work space?
You might want to look into headlamps. They’re right angle flashlights that strap to your head, so the light will always shine where your face is pointing. Attaching any kind of mass to my glasses doesn’t sound very pleasant.
Since this is a flashlight community, take a look at this: https://intl-outdoor.com/emisar-dw4-right-angle-1-18650-work-light.html
You’ll be able to find to tons of options at your local hardware store too. The thing to look out for is CRI. Basically, the higher the CRI the better you’ll be able to see a wide gauntlet of colors.
Most helpful Llama I’ve ever spoken to. Thank you!
Parametrek runs an awesome site for flashlight selections. http://flashlights.parametrek.com/index.html. They’re super knowledgeable and I have found it to be an invaluable resource for identifying options based on your selected parameters. I agree high CRI, rechargeable headlamp is a great option. Rechargeable means you don’t need to worry about specialty batteries and chargers which accompany many of the higher quality enthusiast flashlights available. It might still have a different battery than you’re used to but you can charge it in situ.
FWIW if you do want to just rubber band something to your glasses wing, there is a Lumintop IYP365 (In Your Pocket 365 days a year) it has a high CRI Nichia LED option which is great quality and runs on standard batteries - Eneloop rechargeables are a great option. I read feedback from people who use it as an inspection light in the aircraft industry and their feedback on the colour quality of the light sold me. It’s like a medical quality pocket light where the way colours appear while under illumination is obviously critical - just doesn’t have the M.D. price tag.

Thanks for the lead, something to take a look into. I’m not to opposed to the rubber band×glasses if the light is… well… light enough.
Did you find a light that suits your needs?
Another option is a hair tie to your glasses. If you need help picking sometime out, I can help.
I havent yet, just a busy life atm and not to sure when I can get this done, but thanks for the offer
Something like this?
Page didn’t work, but im looking for something a bit more durable than I would generally associate with an ali express item. Thank you though!
