The Carson DeskBrite LED 2X Magnifier and Desk Lamp has found a permanent home, right by my computer desk. I choose to use the AC/DC power adapter, but it can also be powered by 3 AA batteries. With the gooseneck stretched straight up, it is about 20 ½" in height, and the sturdy base is about 7" X 6," tapering off slightly toward the rounded back. There are no sharp corners as this magnifying desk light is completely rounded off. The flexible gooseneck is approximately 11" tall, allowing the magnifying lens to be positioned exactly where it is needed, and it is attached to a large 4" clear acrylic lens, which provides a large viewing area.
There is a large thumb size black push button light switch accessible on the top, and due to the gooseneck feature, the lens can be turned in a variety of different directions. The two LED lights shed an ample amount of light and it is directed right at the object in view of the lens. Within the magnifying lens, a small 5 X power loupe that came in handy to remove a splinter from my finger.
This Magnifying Desk Lamp is an eye-saver device, I use it mostly for my paperwork, no longer to I have to stop and hunt for my hand held magnifying glass. Since it remains stationary in the exact position placed, it has saved me both time, and I am no longer subject to those literal `paper-work' headaches. However, that is Not my only use.
1. Took a splinter out of my finger
2. I can read the directions on a box of medication, without the dizzying effect of moving a hand-held magnifying glass back and forth
3. I was able to fix a piece of jewelry, (easily gluing on a stone, since I was able to use both hands).
4. Painted my fingernails, and I was able to see clear enough to actually paint just the nails, instead of all the skin around the area!
5. I am able to thread through the eye of a sewing needle! The light is perfect, there is no glare and I can see the tiny hole.
The acrylic lens is clear; I do not detect any distortion. However, there are some maintenance guidelines.
1) NEVER, EVER, USE a chemical cleaner on the acrylic lens, only a soft cloth.
2) Either use the AC/DC power adapter that comes with the light...OR 3 AA batteries, do not use both at the same time, and REMOVE the batteries when using the adapter.
3) All 3 AA batteries must be exactly the same, do not even mix different brands.
With proper care, this Carson Magnifying Desk Lamp should last a very long time. All the parts are securely in place. It is very sturdy, no tipping issues at any angle, good looking, efficient, and a well-made magnifying desk lamp light.
Sometimes when you are able to find a device that fulfills a very specific need; it just makes life a little easier, and this is one of those items.
PROS: Can be operated with either batteries or plug-in adapter (portability)
Flexible neck allows for proper positioning
LED lights provide great light
Small extra-magnification spot allows for extra close-up view
Price is right
Simple to operate; one switch for on/off
Sits firmly by itself; no clamp
CONS: LED lights cannot be replaced; eventually a real waste to have to discard the lamp
Power adapter cord could be longer (I had to move a table closer to the wall outlet to use); not an issue if you are
only using with batteries
Lens is plastic, which is kind of cheap, but this also allows the head of the lamp to be lightweight and avoid tipping so it's not really an issue. It might be nice if the base had a suction lever to attach firmly to any spot on a table or counter, but for the price this probably isn't a reality. I purposely avoided the kind of lamp that ONLY attaches via clamp to the side of a table (such as what you see in salons). This lamp fits my needs nicely and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a hands-free lighted magnifier.
I'm ignorant of how magnification lenses are calculated but all I know is that this 2x performs as well as others claiming to be 10x magnifiers.

The plus point is the added extra benfit of the ability to plug it in to the mains if the batteries fail while using it.
