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.

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. 30-day money-back guarantee.

I got two lamps. The top at one is not correct. The plastic light cover sticks out further than the top ring and looks bad. The other lamp is ok. See photos. Can you send me a new one please? I tried to press it back into place, but it will not move. Phone is 513 312-3989 Chuck Lane 886 Castlebay Drive Cincinnati, Oh 45245

I bought two and both lamps are super temperamental. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t and I was gonna gift one to my sister, but it doesn’t stay on when I turn it off and come back an hour later it doesn’t work. I have to recharge it. it doesn’t charge well just trying to get it on in office is a lot but my first one didn’t worked for one second or one minute and then it doesn’t work ever ever since then.

The one came broken. Both, after being completely charged, don’t turn on. I had such high hopes, but am completely disappointed in this product. Packaging HAS to be sturdier at the very least!

Customer photo review of Embar Game Night Lamp

I bought the four pack and I’m happy I did. We are a big gaming family and can spend an entire day playing back to back scenarios. We use two at a time, recharge and trade out with the second two. Very happy with the size, mobility and choice of three different light settings. Would be nice if the charge lasted a bit longer, but as I stated before, we probably play for a more extended period than most. I’m happy with my purchase.

Package arrived in bad shape. Box was crushed. Unsure if it is broken but something loose is rattling inside the base

As an ardent puzzler, I was especially pleased to receive a pair of these lamps as a surprise gift. They have already shown their usefulness in providing close-up true colors on small pieces. I regret that the USB connections are so short, though. It can be a challenge finding a place for them to charge. Other than that liability, I am delighted to have them.

This little lamp works surprisingly well! I use it for extra lighting while doing my jigsaw puzzles. Only thing I would suggest is a longer cord for charging.

Excited to use this with my next puzzle. I love that there are three light settings AND that it’s dimmable. I bought a couple so that we can also have them on hand in the event we have a power outage. The ability to recharge them with our power supply was a plus.

Simple, functional design. It can be used to light small rooms aside from good lighting for puzzles.

Customer photo review of The EMBAR Game Lamp

Great lamp! I was struggling with my puzzles in the evening, trying to find the right light. I was dragging over tall lamps with electrical cords across the floor , but the light was never quite where I needed it. I love that this has no cord and I can shift it around the table wherever I need it. It was easy to charge and has three light settings, tapping the top. I should’ve ordered two right away. It took over a week to arrive, but it came in perfect condition and it was worth the wait. I find the size perfect, and it looks decorative on the table when I don’t have a puzzle there

Customer video review of The EMBAR Game Lamp

This lamp is pretty cool. Three different tones by quick touch, dimmable by long touch, and touch on and off by quick touch. Being cordless is perfect for games or puzzle tables. Also handy as a bed-side light.

I bought this little lamp for puzzles at camp. It’s quite dark in there and i needed a lamp that doesnt need to use electricity. When I opened it i loved it and ended up using it on my little table where i drink coffee at home. I now have to order another for camp puzzles. Lol. I Love that it has 3 light settings. Great lamp. Might need one for camping too 🤔

Love this lamp and the 3 levels of light it gives. I'm working during a power outage on Manitoulin Island. No! I dont miss the TV🤣 (Do you make a 10" diameter lamp?) I'd buy that!

Customer photo review of The EMBAR Game Lamp

Very nicely designed product. Simple to charge and use and helps with, in our use, tabletop gaming and artwork. Very nice product. I must comment that the shipping method was less than ideal. The two boxes were simple wrapped side by side in bubble wrap, then wrapped and taped in a shipping bag without any reinforcement. During transit, one of the two lamp boxes was partially crushed between lamp's base and lamp itself although as it turned out no damage was done to the shaft nor any metal part dented. The plastic base though was depressed slightly into the metal base and when I inserted the USB cord, it slipped and the socket moved out of place. After removing the base, and reinserting it, the socket was again in alignment and the cord could be inserted without trouble.
