I have a Visual Mate LM747 and *love it*!! This one:

But it's about 10years old, and a few years ago, it wouldn't turn on, my DH had toreplace the switch. It worked for a while, but now it's starting tonot go on when I flip the switch, it takes 10 or 12 tries to get it toturn on. So I'm thinking it's time to replace it.But I can't find it locally at any retail stores in the western sububsof Chicago. I have no LNSs around me, only Michael's and Joanne's andHobby Lobby. And I got a $50 gift card for Michael's at Xmas, so, ofcourse, I went there first. They don't have it, only have OttLights. And I don't want an Ott light. At least, I don't think so. Can anyone recommend a suitable light similar to the Visual Mate LM747 that will hang from around my neck, have a wide, 3X magnifying lens, and a bright light? I don't have anything to clamp an Ott light to in my stitching area, I don't have floor space for a free-standing one. And the ones that clip onto the embroidery hoop are too tiny, both the lights and the magnifying lens. Dazors don't seem to fit the bill either.Any other ideas?
Thanks, and Happy New Year!
