Daylight Halo Go Magnifying Lamp — Rechargeable LED Magnifier with 95+ CRI for Detailed Work

The Versatile Magnifying Lamp That Goes Anywhere, Stores Everywhere

The Halo Go is the brilliant multi-tasker that's been upgraded in every way that matters. Threading a needle for hand-stitching binding? Perfect. Matching thread colours to your latest quilt project? Now flawless with 95+ CRI lighting. Inspecting intricate appliqué stitches? Crystal clear. This rechargeable magnifying lamp handles detailed tasks throughout your day with professional-grade colour accuracy — then folds completely flat to tuck away in a drawer, slide beside your armchair, or slip into the included velvet carry bag when you're heading to a workshop.

True Colour Matching with 95+ CRI

The game-changing upgrade in the latest Halo Go is the 95+ CRI (Colour Rendering Index) LED technology. This means you see your fabrics, threads, and quilts in true daylight colours — exactly as they'll look in natural light. No more surprises when you take your project outdoors. No more wondering if that binding thread really matches. With 95+ CRI, what you see under the lamp is precisely what you get in daylight — essential for confident colour choices in your quilting projects.

True Portability With Rechargeable Power

No hunting for outlets or dealing with tangled cords — the Halo Go runs on a USB-C rechargeable battery that delivers 4 hours of brilliant light on full brightness (4,200 lux), or 8 hours on the lower setting. The battery level indicator keeps you informed, and a full recharge takes just 6 hours using the included USB cable.

Grab it for hand-stitching binding in your favourite chair, move it to your cutting table for inspecting seams, bring it to evening classes or workshops in the included soft velvet carry bag, or use it as a reading light on the sofa. Wherever precision and colour accuracy matter, the Halo Go travels with you.

Dual Magnification for Fine Detail Work

The 9cm diameter lens offers 5 dioptres (2.25X) magnification for general close-up work — perfect for threading needles, inspecting stitches, matching fabric colours, or any task where you need a clearer view. For truly intricate work like needle-turn appliqué or English paper piecing, the built-in 12 dioptres (4X) inset lens lets you zoom in on the finest details.

The Halo Go features 36 LEDs — double the previous model — that circle the entire magnification lens, providing superior, uniform, shadow-free lighting that stays consistent at both brightness levels. This even light spread eliminates dark spots and ensures perfect illumination across your entire work area.

Professional-Grade Lighting in a Portable Package

At 4,200 lux and 330 lumens, the Halo Go delivers impressively bright illumination for such a compact lamp. The 6,000K colour temperature mimics natural daylight with 95+ CRI — ensuring you see true, accurate colours whether you're matching threads, selecting fabrics, inspecting quilting stitches, or checking binding placement. The two brightness levels let you choose full intensity for detailed work or dial it down for comfortable reading and handwork.

Thoughtful Design for Everyday Use

The Halo Go features a sturdy, thick base that prevents tipping, while the compact design — just 15cm wide — means it doesn't dominate your space. The flexible arm extends to 30cm, positioning light exactly where you need it, then folds completely flat when you're done.

The safety cover protects the lens during transport and storage — and with the cover closed, you can use the Halo Go as a regular high-quality task lamp without magnification. At just 0.80kg, it's light enough to move freely around your home yet stable enough for precision work. The clean white and dark silver finish looks smart on any surface.

Beyond the Sewing Room

While quilters love the Halo Go for handwork — stitching binding, needle-turn appliqué, embroidery, EPP, and precision piecing — its versatility extends throughout your home. Use it for beauty routines requiring precision and true colour matching, reading fine print, inspecting jewellery, working on miniatures, detailed art and craft projects, or any task where magnification and brilliant, colour-accurate lighting make life easier.

It also doubles as the ideal light source for the SewEzi Lightbox Insert — simply place it on the machine shelf beneath the insert (with the magnifier cover closed) to turn your SewEzi table into a lightbox, with no trailing cables to work around.
