This will probably sound silly, but for this kind of work, I'll often use my headlamp (from my backpacking gear). I love that with a headlamp, the brightest part of the beam stays on whatever it is that I'm looking at. Very lightweight - you'll forget that it's there. And that can make you look like an idiot when you go outside in broad daylight with a headlamp on.
I should have mentioned I have used a headlamp. Problem is, no matter how lightweight it is, after a while it starts to give me a headache. I can't really wear headbands or put my hair in a pony tail for the same reason. If I were only knitting for a few minutes at a time, it would be fine.
