The Puzzle Light That Takes Glare Off the Pieces

EMBAR sits right on your puzzle table. Its light comes across the pieces from low and close, so the shine stays off and you can see the picture again.

Light From the Table Cuts the Shine on Glossy Pieces

Split scene: overhead glare vs EMBAR light on a puzzle

Most of the shine on a puzzle comes from the ceiling light. It shines down from above, hits the glossy pieces and bounces back up toward you.

EMBAR changes where the light comes from. It sits beside the pieces, so its light comes across the puzzle instead of down onto it. The shine does not bounce back up at you.

With the shine off, the colors and edges you match by come through again. The next piece is easier to find, and the puzzle keeps moving.

★★★★★"Now I can turn off the bright overhead light and there’s no reflection on my puzzles."Verified buyer

Your Questions About Glare

A very glossy puzzle can still show a little shine at some angles. Move the lamp a little or dim it until the pieces look clear.

15+ hours on one charge at medium brightness. Most people charge it once a week with the USB-C cable.

Why Table-Level Light Helps With Puzzle Glare

A Lamp for Glossy Jigsaw Puzzles

Ceiling lights shine down on a puzzle from above. On glossy pieces, that light bounces back up and washes out colors, edges and detail. Table-level light comes across the pieces from the side instead, so far less of it bounces back toward you. Colors and piece edges come through, even on glossy puzzles.

A Cordless Table Lamp for Puzzles, Games and Crafts

EMBAR is a cordless table lamp for puzzles, board games, card games and hands-on hobbies. It has warm, cool and blended light, 15+ hours per charge at medium brightness and a 4.5-inch weighted metal base. No outlet is needed, so you can set it where the puzzle is.

Less Glare for Mahjong, Diamond Painting and More

Puzzlers also use EMBAR for Mahjong, Bridge, Scrabble, diamond painting, cross-stitch, model building and reading. It moves from room to room and comes in gold, silver and black. Every order comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
