Why the room can look bright while the puzzle still looks hard

When light comes from above, your head and hands can get between the light and the puzzle.

Dark pieces start blending together. Edges take longer to check. Glossy sections can throw a bright patch back at you.

EMBAR puts light beside the section you are working on, so the pieces in front of you stay easier to see.

Spend less time fighting the shiny patch

Change where the light comes from, and the section in front of you gets easier to work.

Glossy pieces can catch the room light and turn one part of the puzzle into a bright patch.

EMBAR lights the puzzle from beside the pieces. You can check, match, and keep going without moving around for a better angle.

One lamp gives focused light where you are working.

Great light! I like the different tones but also that it can be dimmed or brightened.

Overhead light vs desk lamp vs EMBAR

Light type What happens at the puzzle Result
Ceiling / overhead light

Light comes from high above the table. You lean in and block the light with your head and hands.

Shadows on the pieces, and glare on glossy sections.

Desk lamp or floor lamp

Light comes from one side or one tall spot. Part of the puzzle can stay in shadow.

Shiny pieces can still pick up glare. The cord can get in the way.

EMBAR

Light comes from table level, beside the puzzle. The light hits the pieces you are working on.

Less glare, less shadow, easier sorting.

Overhead light comes from above. EMBAR lights the puzzle from beside the pieces.

A brighter ceiling bulb still sends light from above. Moving the light down beside the puzzle changes the angle as well as the brightness.

Small details that make EMBAR easier to use

Sits beside the puzzle

The lamp stays close to the section you are working on, so your hands are less likely to block the light.

No cord across the table

Move the lamp when you change sections without rearranging the puzzle table.

15+ hours on one charge

On the medium setting, one charge lasts 15+ hours. A USB charging cable is included.

Warm, cool, and blended light

Switch light tones when similar colors are hard to compare.

Easy touch dimming

Tap the top to raise or lower the brightness.

Small base that fits beside your puzzle

Its 4.5-inch base fits dining tables, card tables, and small work areas.

Questions before you buy

Why is EMBAR better than my ceiling light for puzzles?

Ceiling light comes from above you, so leaning over the table can put your head or hands in its path. EMBAR sits beside the puzzle and lights the section you are working on.

Will this help with glare on glossy puzzle pieces?

Placing the light beside the puzzle changes the angle that creates bright reflections on glossy pieces. Cathy S. put it simply: “Takes the glare off the pieces — much easier to see!”

Will it fit beside my puzzle?

Yes. The base is 4.5 inches wide. It fits on dining tables, card tables, and small trays.

How long does the battery last?

On the medium setting, one charge lasts 15+ hours. A USB charging cable is included.

Is one lamp enough?

One lamp works well for a focused area. For a larger puzzle, place one lamp on each side.

What if it does not work for my puzzle table?

You have 30 days. If EMBAR is not the right fit, return it for a refund.

Bring the light down to the puzzle

EMBAR sits beside the pieces, where your hands are less likely to block the light. You get a clearer view of the section you are working on without lighting the whole room.

Because it is cordless, you can move it as you work. Try it for 30 days and return it if it does not help at your puzzle table.
