Every Player Can See Their Cards, Even When The Ceiling Light Leaves The Table Dim
EMBAR is a cordless lamp that sits right on your game table. Its light reaches the cards and tiles in front of each player, so the game keeps moving.

Why The Middle Of Your Game Table Gets Dim At Night
In the afternoon, daylight comes in from the windows and fills the table. Everyone can see their cards without thinking about it.
At night, the game moves under the ceiling light. That light sits about 8 feet up and spreads across the whole room. By the time it reaches the table, much of it has gone to the walls and chairs.
The middle of the table gets the least light, and that is where the cards and tiles are. When you lean in to play a card, your head and shoulders block the light and put a shadow over your hand.
A brighter bulb lights up the room more, but the light still comes from above everyone's heads. The cards in your hand stay in the same shadow until the light comes down to the table.
1 Light On The Table Lets Every Player See Their Cards
EMBAR sits on the table, right beside the game. The light comes across the table from the side, so leaning in does not put your cards in shadow.
Players can see the suits, numbers, and tile colors in their own hands. The cards in the middle get light too, so it is easier to follow what was just played.
On a card table or a small round table, set one lamp near the edge. On a long dining table, put one lamp at each end.
★★★★★ "Being cordless is perfect for games or puzzle tables."

Tile colors and card suits are easier to see when the light is on the table.
No outlet on the porch? Charge EMBAR before your guests arrive.
2 Put The Game Table Where Your Group Likes To Sit
A lamp with a cord has to stay near a wall outlet. Often, that outlet decides where the game happens.
EMBAR is cordless. Put it on the card table in the middle of the room, the dining table, or the patio table after dinner. Nobody has to step over a cord, and no cord runs across the cards. If the game moves to another room, take the lamp with it.
★★★★★ "Nice light to use anywhere a corded lamp would be awkward. To have good light (in 3 shades of white) and not have to worry about where to plug it in or where the cord might be in the way, is a huge plus!"

3 Keep The Room Cozy While The Cards Stay Easy To See
You do not need every light in the house on to see the cards. Turn the ceiling light down and let EMBAR light the table.
Every lamp includes three light modes: warm, cool, and blended. Tap the top to cycle through them, or press and hold to adjust the brightness.
Warm light keeps the room relaxed during a long card game. Cool light helps small numbers and tile markings stand out.

A small, heavy base that stays put during play.
4 Made To Last Through A Long Game Night
One charge gives 15 to 36 hours of light, depending on brightness. Charge it overnight with the USB-C cable, and it is ready for game night.
The weighted metal base is about 4.5 inches across. It fits beside the cards and stays steady when someone reaches across the table.
The lamp is about 10 inches tall, so it sits low and players can still see each other. It comes in gold, silver, and black.
★★★★★ "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."

5 Use It For Every Game Your Group Plays
Use EMBAR for bridge, canasta, Mahjong, Rummikub, dominoes, or a family board game. It helps any game where people need to see small cards, tiles, or numbers.
When the game is over, carry it to the puzzle table, a reading chair, or the nightstand.
★★★★★ "Love the lights. Work great for puzzles, board games and emergency lights."

Questions Before Your Next Game Night
Is One Lamp Enough For My Whole Table?
For a card table or a small round table, start with one lamp near the edge. For a long dining table, put one lamp at each end so both halves of the table get light. The 2-pack covers a long table.
Will It Get In The Way Of The Game?
The base is about 4.5 inches across, and the lamp is about 10 inches tall. It fits at the edge of a card table without taking space from the cards, and players can still see each other across the table.
Will It Tip Over When People Reach Across?
The weighted metal base keeps it steady on card tables, dining tables, and folding tables.
What If It Does Not Work For My Group?
You have 30 days to try it. If it does not help your group see the game, send it back for a refund.
