Lighting - This Is Very Important Lighting is just as important as choosing the puzzle itself Where is the location of your puzzle station ? 1. 2. 3.
Is set up by a window ? Is it in a room away from the window ? Is it in a windowless room ?
Does the puzzle itself have a shiny glare on it ? 1. Is it anti-glare? 2. Is it a matte finish or somewhere in between? 3. Does it have a shimmer or a foil finish?
What direction is your light fixture coming from? 1. Is it directly overhead? 2. Overhead to the left, the right or behind you? 3. Is it motion-movable?
What are the best lights to use for jigsaw puzzles? That question comes up a lot. If only we could use natural daylight any time of the day and evening. Although, even that has its drawbacks, like reflection, glare or worse yet, a dark cloudy day. So again, you ask, ‘what are the best lights to use for jigsaw puzzles’? We should beat this up for a minute before we look at some resources. The first issue is the location of your 'puzzle-station'. By that I mean, where your puzzle is set up to be assembled. Is it set up by a window? Is it in a room away from the window? Is it in a windowless room? These will make a difference. Then the second issue is....what direction is your light fixture coming from? Is it directly overhead, overhead to the left, the right or behind you? Is it motionmovable? Also the jigsaw puzzle itself....does it have a huge shiny glare on it or is it antiglare, perhaps a matte finish or somewhere in between? Does it have a shimmer or a foil finish? 46
