5X Magnifying Glass with Light and Clamp, 5 Color Modes Stepless Dimmable Lighted Magnifier with Stand, Flexible Gooseneck LED Desk Lamp Hands Free for Craft Reading Painting Hobby Close Work

Magnifying glass too small for me, not flexible enough for hand sewing, but good strong light.

Compré esto solo por la linterna, ya que se puede cambiar el color y la intecidad. Pero descubierto que la lupa funciona bien para realizar manulidad con cuentas pequeñas ya que no forzo tanto la vista. La uso con la base ya que mi escritorio no es apto para utilizar la pinza. Me gustaria que el cuello fuera más flexible. El material es muy bueno, al tacto se siente robusto.

Needed a light that clamped to my very small desk and this did the trick! Best part is the magnifying glass, which works well with the different lighting settings mounted right on the base. Loved it so much I’ve bought four more as gifts and everybody I’ve given this light to, loves it!! Great value too!

I use this lamp in my shop for detail work that I just can not see without help. It has been a great addition and well worth the money. One of the features I really like is the ability to adjust the color of the light. I can make the lamp color slightly different from the room color and it just makes things even easier to see. The lamp is powered by USB. The cord is about 3 feet long. You can purchase a USB extension cable if you need it to be longer. The nice thing about this feature is I can take the lamp to places that do not have AC power. I powered this from a cigarette lighter USB socket in my car with a 6 foot extension cord and it worked great. The glass is decent quality for what I need it for: soldering or fine cutting with a hobby knife. I purchased another lamp with 10x magnification and found it had too much distortion. This lamp has 5x magnification and it is just right. You will need to bring things that you want to work on to within a few inches of the glass to have it be in focus. My photos show the focus of a machinist rule both in and outside of the glass. Having the clamping and stand mounting methods is a nice feature. I initially used the stand and found that it took 2 hands to make an adjustment to the lens location; One hand to hold the base and one to move the glass. Not a big deal because the glass always stayed in place after I was finished moving it. In the end I found that the clamp just worked better for me because it took up less table space. Great to have options. Overall I like the lamp and think it is a good value for home use. If you are in need of your first magnifying lamp, this is good choice.

unit's base is not as sturdy as my old lamp that finally failed after 7 years, I do like the 2 different options for mounting the lamp. the lenght of the neck is a little short also but probably due to base not as heavy as old style lamp this one tips over if extend it too far from base. the bottom of lamp neck that attaches to base is also made of plastic and could be a failure point in future. the lamp intensity setting are better than old lamp and lights are diffused much better lending to better pictur taking of objects iluminated by lamp. overall well worth the price and if it last as long as old lamp. may be better since lighting is superior. , the magnifying glass is same size and power as old so usability of this lamp slightly better.
