I really like the puzzle light. It really illuminates the glare & makes puzzling much more enjoyable! It just took about a month to arrive!
Your Overhead Light Isn't Helping You See Your Puzzle. It's Creating the Shadows You're Fighting.
It's not your eyes. It's not the puzzle. It's physics — and 14,000+ puzzlers already found the fix.
Already convinced? Skip to the lamp →It's Not About Brightness. It's About Angle.
Your ceiling light points straight down. That's fine for walking around your house. But the moment you sit down and lean over your puzzle, your body blocks the light.
Your head casts a shadow. Your shoulders cast a shadow. Your hands cast a shadow — exactly where you're trying to work.
So you buy a brighter bulb. A "daylight" LED. A 100-watt. But a brighter overhead light just makes sharper, darker shadows. The angle hasn't changed. The problem hasn't changed.
Here's what changes everything: move the light to table level. When light comes from beside your puzzle instead of above it, there's nothing to block. No shadows. No glare. Every piece edge becomes crisp. Every color separates. We call it ShadowFree™ lighting — and it's the core of everything EMBAR does.
Same puzzle. Same eyes. Different light angle. That's the entire fix.

Why Other "Fixes" Don't Work
| Overhead | Table-Level ✓ | |
|---|---|---|
| Shadows | Your body blocks it | Eliminated — light from beside |
| Glare | Washes out colors | Soft, diffused, even |
| Your eyes | Squinting, quitting early | Relaxed — colors pop |
| Setup | Hardwired, fixed | Cordless, anywhere |
| At night | Whole room lit up | Just your puzzle |

Meet EMBAR — Built for Exactly This
This isn't a desk lamp someone repurposed. EMBAR was designed from the ground up for ShadowFree™ table-level lighting — the exact fix we just described.
It's cordless. Rechargeable via USB-C. Sits right on your table at puzzle level with a heavy weighted base that won't tip when you reach across. Three light temperatures — warm for evening, bright white for detail work.
Tap the top to turn it on. Tap again to switch modes. That's it. No cords, no clamps, no assembly. It just works.
Cordless, rechargeable, and built for your table — not your ceiling.
What Your First Session Feels Like
You set the lamp beside your puzzle and tap it on. The first thing you notice is the colors — pieces that blended together under your ceiling light are suddenly obviously different. Dark blues separate from navy. Subtle reds pop.
Twenty minutes in, you realize you haven't leaned forward once. Your neck isn't tight. Your hands aren't casting shadows over the pieces you're reaching for.
An hour passes. Then two. This is what puzzling is supposed to feel like.

"I do puzzles at 5am before anyone else is up. This lets me see perfectly without lighting up the whole kitchen. The colors of the pieces are so much more vivid now."

Tired of Squinting at Your Cards?
Overhead lights aren't cutting it anymore.
You used to see fine. Now you're leaning in, asking what was played. Your eyes need more light than the ceiling fixture provides.
Cords everywhere.
Extension cords across the floor. Someone's going to trip — especially anyone with mobility concerns. And there's never an outlet where you actually play.
Half the table sits in shadow.
Whoever's closest to the light can see. Everyone else squints. It's not fair, and it's not fun.
There's a better way.
Perfect Light for Game Night. Finally.
Cordless — No Outlets Needed
Place it right in the center of the table. No cords to trip over. No hunting for outlets. Pick it up and move it whenever you want.
Touch to Adjust
Tap the top to turn on. Tap again to cycle through light colors. Hold to dim. No tiny switches, no fumbling.
3 Light Options
Warm white for a cozy feel. Cool white for sharper visibility. Or blend them. Find what works for your eyes.
All-Night Battery
15-36 hours on a single charge. Play all evening, charge it when you head to bed. It'll be ready for next week.
Stable, Weighted Base
Heavy metal base. Rubber grip. It won't tip over when someone bumps the table or reaches for a tile.
Fits Any Table
Card table. Dining table. Puzzle table. The compact base takes up almost no space — leaves room for everything else.
Lasts All Night
15+ hours per charge. Play all evening. Charge it once a week. Never runs out mid-game."
Won't Tip Over
Weighted metal base stays planted. Stable even on wobbly folding tables. No accidents.

Exceeded my expectations. Love it. Only negative was the cost.
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
Make it bigger and brighter
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.
Not only dies this lamp shine light on the puzzle, it changes the while aesthetic of the room.
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!
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.
Use mine as a side table light
Package arrived in bad shape. Box was crushed. Unsure if it is broken but something loose is rattling inside the base
Broken, lopsided. Trying to return. Have sent photos and videos twice already. Please someone tell me how to return. I ordered 3.
The light is good—- need another one.
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.
Bought 2 for family puzzling. Getting another for manicure tasking.
Great light! I like the different tones but also that it can be dimmed or brightened. Helpful in a power outage as well.
The EMBAR lamp is excellent. I am glad that I got it I’m an avid puzzler .
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.
We love these lamps! Takes the glare off the pieces - much easier to see!
Love love love! This little lamp is amazing. Just heading to purchase more for the fam who are all trying to sneak mine away!
Works well and easy to move around
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.
We love the lamps they work great,
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
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.
Great little light. Helps me distinguish the colours. Gotta keep working on the puzzle.
Works great, rechargeable, light weight. Perfect for that little extra white
Great 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 🤔
Provides some light without being too much.
Very happy with these lamps!
Mine was unfortunately damaged in shipping. They are sending me a new one. I can’t wait to get it as our family is a puzzle challenged family. Always one going on the puzzle table. Great family entertainment.
This lamp is such a game changer for me as I love doing puzzles in various locations around the house. I can use this lamp anywhere, with no wires. It charges up quickly. I love this purchase!
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!
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.
It work great
Perfect lighting!
Lamps work well with my puzzle table. It is really nice to move the light where I need it the most, without a cord getting in the way.
Was getting frustrated with my puzzle. Saw an ad for this lamp and thought maybe that’s my issue. Sat down and found some pieces in the first 5 minutes. Lighting was everything plus it looks beautiful in my area. Highly recommend.
I was concerned the light would cause glare on the puzzle pieces. It doesn't! I love that it's rechargeable - no wires! I can move it wherever I need it.
