Review on πŸ” Adjustable Swing Arm LED Magnifier Desk Lamp with Light and Stand - 5X, 3 Color Modes Stepless Dimming, 5-Diopter Glass Lens - Ideal for Close Work, Repair, Crafts, Reading, Sewing by Roger Mitchell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Difficult to use effectively for eyeglass wearers at close range.

Purchased for electronics assembly. A 4 inch lens has a fairly shallow depth of field and significant geometric distortion unless parallel to the viewer's work plane and focal plane. This means that you have to fiddle around with a magnifying glass during operation. You'll need to dig or buy a USB power adapter to power the light. I'll buy a Luxo, the standard of performance I'm used to from work (albeit more expensive).
