Just OK, Could be much brighter
3 Stars
Just OK, Could be much brighter
So I read the mixed reviews and I was not expecting this to be 5 stars, but 4 starts would have been nice. It does what it is supposed to do but it has some serious limitations. As a magnifier it works well with a very clear lens and good optics. Also you can get the lens very close to desk it sits on without it tipping over. A big positive! But as a light, well it is barley sufficient.Amazon keeps deleting the photos or mixing them up. Not sure why. But if they are still here this is what the photos show:One photo shows the light switched on in total darkness. It has only 2 LEDs that are placed directly under the lens at the top end of the neck. They are not very bright and would not be sufficient for real detailed work.One photo shows the 5x magnification spot. While the spot could be larger it does a good job and is very clear. The 5X spot is placed very close to the stem where it meets the lens because if it were on the other side there would be no light. Also because the 5x and light are so close to the stem, you have to move the entire light around to get the correct mix of angle and light.One photo shows a quarter standing on edge. Because the LEDS are only on one side there are serious shadow issues. If you are doing detailed work, you will have to have some other source of light or you will be working in the dark half the time.One photo shows the 2x magnification. There are two quarters placed side by side on a matt with a coin pattern. The lens is very clear and does indeed magnify 2 times.I have had it for a few days and am still pondering if it should go back. I do a lot of soldering of very small items and the light is so poor it just may not cut it. But for $25.00 it is what it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mobile, bright, right magnification for miniature
Reviewed in Canada on October 3, 2020
Was looking for something that is not bulky on the desk or my head. This fits the build, feels sturdy, doesn't tip, and has the right magnification (2x) so there's sufficient room for working with brushes (4-5 inches).
