Owl Magnification WCN-0001 - LED Magnifying Glass with Light - Illuminated Magnifier Lamp Hands-Free - Perfect for Reading - Hobbies - Work

I bought this for use in model making and assembling electronic projects. I have had several cheaper alternatives which proved disappointing. This one works really well. The light is bright and leaves no shadows on the workpiece.The optics are clear with no noticeable distortion and the height is just about right for my use.As mentioned in other reviews the spring is a bit strong but I found my one stays in position with no problem. Would I recommend it? yes. In fact I am thing of buying another.

Thus lamp does as it says it has a fantastic Light is excellent, optical quality off the magnifier is very goodCould do with a base as well as a clamp for mounting.The springs in the arm when higher can make the lamp unstable as it wants to go higher but low down on the working position it is more than adequateDefinitely worth the money especially for crafters doing intricate fiddly work as you don’t have to get your work and hands close to magnifier to see.

I just have to rave about this fantastic light. Way better than I was expecting. Absolutely perfect for achieving detailed art work or anything requiring close up detail. Excellent quality! Perfect!

The light is bright and slightly bluer than daylight so giving a clear illumination of objects. The lens is large enough to magnify a notebook sized page clearly. The arm is long enough to reach across a 5 foot desk and still have the lamp high enough to use. The only downside is that the arm does not stay in place no matter how tight the screws are clamped- the springs are too strong, I find a small weight on the lamp head will overcome this but it is inconvenient. Overall I can recommend this item

I've been looking for a good magnifying glass with light for ages to do my jewellery work. I was so excited when it arrived and I've just worked with it today. the magnifying glass is so clear and really magnifies to just the right amount for working with tiny 15/0 seed beads. No more teary and red eyes from trying to see the tiny jewellery supplies. I'm hoping my mum will find it helpful as well to work with a diamond painting kit she'd bought - her eyesight isn't as good as it used to be.The LED light on it is also brilliant. Very bright and clear. It has made me enjoy making jewellery even more.I might end up buying a second one later on...definitely a 90% chance of doing so.

As mentioned by others, this lamp has a fatal flaw. It is very sturdily made, the clamp is great, the arm is long and flexible, the head is moveable and locks in place, the lens quality very good and the LED lights are bright. But the spring built in to the arm in ridiculous - it just won’t stay in place, but bounces back up at you. It needs weights attached to the head to keep the damn thing in place - I have used 3 size D batteries (the big, heavy ones!) in a bag tied to the top on the neck of the arm. Looks daft, but now it works brilliantly. It has transformed my miniature painting - but have only given it 3 stars due to the overly strong spring.

Bought this to replace a previous fluorescent light, on which the bracket holding the lens failed. Perhaps because of the weight. This one has a plastic lens and is not so heavy.I have it on the side of my desk where my computer is. The light is bright. It's handy if I.m putting a new battery into a watch, removing a splinter, reading the incredibly small print on some things, and generally looking at small things. It's great.

Initially I bought this lamp for fly tying but after testing it at my desk it doesn't quite fit the bill. I think I should have gone for a lamp with a base that could be moved around at my request. I also found it difficult to keep the lamp in certain positions and I don't like it haphazardly moving. The lamp and magnifier are very good - it just didn't work for me. Anyway it has found a good home as my wife will be using it at her sewing table and she likes it very much.
