There are several threads on this here:

I have one and like it because it's cool. My crochet lightsaber.

Maybe you could crochet in a theater during coming attractions (or a boring movie) . I wish I had one at summer camp for crocheting after "lights out" . I saw them at A.C. Moore They are kind of . Don't know if I would buy one though (might add it to my X-mas list ).

my Aunt who has macular degeneration uses one. Without it she could not crochet because of vision loss. While she can no longer do ' fancy ' stitches or work with dark yarn she is able to make afghan squares or plain hats and scarves etc.

I have two and I love them. I use them in the car at night, the light doen't bother the driver at all.

[Feederofthepack]

I find the point is really bright. Kind of hard on the eyes but great for dark yarns. They really good for looking into the dogs' ears!

I have one and it is great for crocheting in the car (as a passenger of course) at night.

They're too expensive for me...altho, I think Hobby Lobby has a 40% (or 50%?) discount on crochet hooks and knitting needles... (or was that last week?)

 

I think they run about $14 at the stores here...even with a discount like HL does, that's still a lot of money for me to spend on a crochet hook. Plus, the neck of the lighted hooks that I've seen look a lot like the Boye crochet hooks. I prefer the style that Susan Bates makes... Maybe I'll splurge for some lighted knitting needles instead.

 

(just checked..it's 40% off crochet hooks and knitting needles at HL this week)

I have 5 of them and find the light a bit blinding, but they are fine if I don't use the light.

I'm pretty sure they're $7 or so at Joann's and Michael's. Been awhile since I looked though.

I just bought a J hook, I like to use it with dark yarn, sometimes the lighting in my house isnt very good.I want to buy a whole set.

They were $7.99 at Michael's tonight...it's the knitting needles that are outrageously expensive...they were $15.99. I only remembered that the lighted knitting needles were expensive.

Hey, this is good to know. I have a Weimer that requires almost daily attention to his ears.

The link that shifio provided shows them for $3.99. Is this for real? And what number is an H? I can never remember that.

[NeedSleep]

I got a set for Christmas and unfortunately, I hate them. The light is too bright and physically hurts my eyes. Just can't use them.

[boksie]

I have 2 and I like to use them to crochet with when my husband has the lights on dim while he watches tv. I believe I paid around $7 ea at Michaels for mine.

[namffoc]

I've been wondering how they were. I thought they were kind of neat when I heard about them.

[elaines630]

They really good for looking into the dogs' ears!

 

HAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

 

On that same note, I wonder if they would be like laser pointers for cats to chase?

[angelsmith52]

I have wondered about them. Thanks for all of the reviews!

[***Joy***]

Well, if the power goes out, you can keep going!

[Lorrie]

I have two. I love them and want to get more. I don't always use the light only if the lights are dim for tv watching ect. However what I really like about them is the handle. They are easier for me to hold. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and I often have trouble holding hooks.

[stronak]

I also like them for dark threads. It seems everyone wants a black shawl, scarf, hat. They are a bit on the pricey side, but if they save my eyesight I would pay anything.

[hookdonU]

I bought 2 of these and can't use them because bright lights give me migraines and these are BRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DreamsOfYarn]

I was at my local Meijer store today and they had them for $2.99 each. They were sold out of all sizes but K, and since I wanted the K, I got it. I will be on the lookout for when they restock them.

 

I did good with hook shopping today. A lighted hook for 2.99 and I also got 3 Susan Bates Bamboo Handle hooks 40% off at Hobby Lobby. Those 3 now make my set complete. I'd say I had a great hook day

[rired41]

i have some and they really are a bit bright. I just put some nail polish on the end and that way it didn't zap my eyes so bad. But i really like them my fiance likes to watch tv with the lights off and i don't want to stop crocheting and watching the movie so i really appreciate them!
