If someone were to build one with true white LEDs, that were diffuse and a little brighter. And make the glove have 1-2 more fingers slots with LED.
Then I might could see this being useful and worth $39.

I didn't need glasses until I decided while in high school to read Gone With The Wind one weekend. Yes, one weekend.

Sorry, but this reminded me of something

Civil War reenactment is LARPing for people with no imagination.

I found out when I opened the book for my network class- Roughly 5-1/2" x 8-1/2-1" thick, over 1100 pages. Opened it in a bright classroom, the pages looked gray and I could barely read the bold section and paragraph titles, so I closed it and laid it on the desk. The teacher asked if I would be reading along with the class and I said "I would, if I could". Went to Walgreens and bought some readers that night but soon remembered that I hate wearing glasses, especially if I can see the frame, so I bought some rimless and added more, so I wouldn't have to remember where they are. For some reason the vision in one eye improved about 5 years ago and I don't need my glasses as often as I did- I can even read the ingredients on a lot of food containers when I'm at a grocery store and the menu in most restaurants, which had been a problem.
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

I had been using 4' florescent lights in my basement and garage but they suck, especially in cold weather, so I bought some 4' LED fixtures as replacements (came with installed 5' power cord)- the light color is 3300K, brighter than the old ones and I have more light and better coverage in the garage with four fixtures than I originally had with six. At $17 each, I didn't bother to return the extra ones and I decided that if I need to work in a dark area for any length of time, I'm just going to use one of those- they can hang, I could stand it against a wall, in a corner or from a pipe and it will be far brighter than any flashlight with better coverage.
