Overhead Light Creates Glare. Table-Level Light Doesn't.

Overhead light hits your puzzle and shines back in your eyes. Light from the side keeps the pieces clear.

Split scene: overhead glare vs EMBAR light on a puzzle

You leaned closer. Squinted. Moved the box. Tried tilting the pieces.

The glare stayed.

The light was coming from above and hitting the puzzle at a steep angle. Move the light to puzzle level and the glare clears.

The Cordless Lamp That Clears the Glare.

EMBAR lamp on a puzzle with clear glare-free light

EMBAR is the lamp built for that job.

It sits on or beside your puzzle, level with the pieces. The light comes from the side, not above — so it lights the puzzle, not your eyes.

Colors stay true. Dark pieces keep their edges. Even glossy puzzles look clear.

The base is about the size of a coaster, so it fits right on the puzzle board. USB-C charging makes it easy to top off between sessions.

Put It Where the Bright Patch Hits Hardest.

Compact EMBAR lamp beside a puzzle and sorting tray

Most lamps are stuck near an outlet. So the light ends up in the wrong spot.

EMBAR is cordless. Put it on the puzzle or beside it — wherever that bright patch keeps hitting.

That is why it works better than a floor lamp or a desk lamp pulled in from the side.

Coaster-Size Base

Small enough to sit right on the puzzle board. About 10 inches tall, so it stays out of the way.

15–36 Hours Per Charge

Long enough for the weeknight sessions that matter most. Charge with USB-C before bed.

Three Light Settings

Warm, natural, and cool white. Tap to switch. Hold to dim when your eyes want less light.

"As a lady of a certain age, I find when playing cards or mahjong with friends, some of us need a little more light to see what we're doing. These lovely little lights sit perfectly on a card table and provide that extra bit of light without having cords in the way."

Why Table-Level Light Stops Glare for Puzzlers

Best Lamp for Jigsaw Puzzles

Overhead lights cause glare on puzzles. They hit the surface from above, and the light bounces off — washing out colors, edges, and detail. Table-level light fixes this. It shines from the side, where the angle is too low to bounce back. No glare. Clear piece edges. True colors, even on glossy puzzles.

Cordless Table Lamp for Board Games and Crafts

The EMBAR Lamp is a cordless table lamp built for puzzles, board games, card games, and hands-on hobbies. Three color settings. 20+ hour battery life. Heavy base. Small enough for any table. No outlet needed. Place it at the angle that stops glare.

Glare-Free Light for Mahjong, Diamond Painting, and More

Popular for jigsaw puzzles, Mahjong, Bridge, Scrabble, diamond painting, cross-stitch, model building, and reading. Cordless — moves room to room. Works during power outages. No cord on your table. No glare on your work. Comes in Gold, Silver, and Black. Free shipping. 30-day money-back guarantee.
