Recently somone asked for recommenations for light/magnifiers that you wear around your neck. Someone suggested this light/magnifer from Toolhelper. It appears to be lightweight, has 24 LED lighs, is easy to adjust and comes with a charger. It is available in black or white and the lights are dimmable. It's inexpensive, but it looks like the lens is acrylic which means it may scratch easily. There is a video showing how to assemble the light/magnifier if you are interested.
A much more expensive option are CraftOptics glasses. This is a pair of glasses that are made to match your prescription (or the magnification you prefer) with a magnifer you swing into position (or out of the way) and have a built in light.
