Closing thoughts on lightning for the visually impaired

Having a good source of lighting is good when you have dimmed vision, but if you also couple this with a way to make prints and letters a bit bigger, then you have the making of a great overall tool for those will low vision.

As such, all the items on our list provide you with more or less of both, all of them suiting a wide variety of reading styles and situations.
