Optivisor makes a knob-adjust headband too. I have one. At one point I
picked up a second Optivisor so I could leave one at work and it has the
slip-type head band adjuster. Perhaps it was cheaper. 

I agree, the knob adjust is worth getting even if it's a few bucks more!

Someone made mention of obtaining an Opti-visor (SP?) at a 
craft store.  Another quality brand is made by Magni-Focuser.  
This one has a handy feature in the form of a knob at the back 
of the headband that allows for easy size adjustment.  The Opti-visor's band
tends to slip and work loose.

Craft stores sell a nice light made by OTT-LITE.  They come in a wide
variety of sizes and forms, and several models have built-in magnifiers.
They tend to be "pricey" at craft stores, but can be found from other
sources.  OTT-LITE would like you to believe their bulbs are "special", and
they may well be, but Home Depot sells replacement lamps for -much- lower
prices.

There are four OTT-LITES here in my shack and Rose has two
in her sewing room that she uses in the making of her cases and covers.  One
is a floor stand version that's right above sewing head one of her machines.
