When one dark section is holding up the whole puzzle

Struggling to Finish Because the Dark Pieces All Look the Same?

There is a reason they are hard to tell apart. The light in your room may be hiding the color and edge differences you need to finish the puzzle.

Why the Piece That Looks Right Still Doesn’t Fit

When dark colors and piece shapes are hard to compare, the wrong piece can look right in the pile.

It only looks wrong when you hold it over the open spot. That is why the same section can take so long to finish.

Room light can leave the puzzle without enough useful light where you compare the pieces. Direct light makes their colors and shapes easier to tell apart.

Why cordless matters

Move The Light When The Hard Section Changes

First it may be the dark corner.

Later it may be the edge pile.

After that, it may be the other side of the table.

A corded lamp makes you work around the outlet. EMBAR lets you move the light to the section you are matching.

Use it on the dining table, kitchen table, sunroom, or couch tray.

Keep the cord off the puzzle table and keep the light close to the work.
