Brightech LightView Pro - Full Page Magnifying Floor Lamp - Hands Free Magnifier with Bright LED Light for Reading - Flexible Gooseneck Holds Position - Standing Mag Lamp

This magnifier/light is just what I needed! There is room between my craft and the glass for my pen— which I wanted! The light is bright and I can finally see what I’m doing. It’s sturdy and easy to set up. I would def buy again.

I only hope there is enough space to say everything I like about this lamp. I was getting ready to order a famous name light that many stitchers use. One person here wrote that this light was so much better. I have purchased THREE other brand name lights. (One cost $500 and was supposedly the same that doctors use-it now sits at Goodwill). All of the others cost more than this light so if it hadn't been for the outstanding reviews I probably wouldn't have tried it. Yet I kept reading review after review of its excellence. It arrived today and I just assembled it and was blown away. I do intricate needlework and while I can see it without a magnifier, a magnifying lamp makes it so much easier. This lamp was so much brighter. It didn't have the annoying quarter size magnifier built into the lens like one of my other lamps which was always hard to avoid looking through. I love that it is so heavy. The others kept tipping over. One had to be attached to a table with a clamp and the clamp ruined my table and the light would not remain in position. I will follow up after I have used this a few weeks, but right now all I can say is "Wow! Where have you been all my life?" As another reviewer mentioned the cord attaches at the midpoint which I love. My other lamps attached at the base and often literally fell out of the connection. I am so excited to get back to my needlework. I had slacked off doing it because it was such a hassle to get the lamp positioned correctly. I wanted a floor model that would be easy to move from room to room. However, it is very heavy (compared to the others) so I will probably invest in another one or two rather than having to lift and move the lamp. If you are a 300 pound muscular bodybuilder this will be no problem for you, but if you are a frail person this might be too heavy to tote all over the house. The packaging was good but mine had a big hole in it. I didn't know if it was a refurbished product and the previous owner damaged the packaging, but I don't think so. I think it was just a case of rough handling by the post office. I was worried that the lamp would be damaged but it seems to work perfectly. If it doesn't I'll be sure to let you know. I plan to recommend this lamp to people in my FB stitching groups. The price is really great for the lamp that you receive. Hopefully the bulbs will last a few years because they can't be replaced. Again, thanks to all the reviewers who wrote such detailed, glowing reports which made me decide to take a chance on this lamp.

I purchased this magnifying light so that I could continue cross stitching now that my eyes are aging. I have only had it a couple weeks now, but I am overall satisfied that I purchased this Brightech floor lamp.Pros-The size of the actual magnifier is 5 1/2 " x 4", which provides a good amount of my work in sight under the magnifier. I am very happy that I chose to purchase the magnifier with 2.25x magnification, giving me the ability to see the very small parts of my cross stitching. The light provides very good bright light. The flexible gooseneck holds in place well, although I wish it would lower just more slightly because I have the top pole adjusted as low as it will go and sitting in a chair, I have to raise my body just a bit to see through the magnifier.Cons-The assembly of this lamp was not smooth. The top and bottom pole are connected with a threaded knob and the holes did not align properly for this knob to be inserted. Luckily, my husband was able to fix this using his dremel tool. If he was not able to have done this, I would have had to return this lamp. I consider this a huge quality control issue. The lamp base is very heavy, which is good in that it keeps the lamp stable, but not easy to move around.

Love love love craft game changer

Easy assembly - great light!
