Review on ๐Ÿ” Ade Advanced Optics Premium Lighted 10x21 Triplet Lens Color Jeweler's Loupe: Enhance Your Precision with Leather Case by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

You get what you pay for - don't pay for it. Non-working LED and poor battery compartment design.

This is a 10x magnifier with white LED or UV light. The lens size is 21mm in diameter, so 10 x 21mm as advertised. The lens is housed in a well-designed flip-top mount. The quality of the lenses seems to be good. It comes with a leather case and a tool to open the battery compartment. So why two stars? This magnifying glass is equipped with an LED that can switch from white to ultraviolet. Except the switch is stuck. I opened the battery compartment, there are three button cells inside. The top contact is a piece of foil soldered to two wires. So the switch and battery box is about as cheap and obnoxious as it gets. It's no wonder that the product images only show one side of the magnifying glass and not the side with the switch for the LED. Revain offers a variety of loops. If you need a magnifying glass with light, this is not enough. I read in another review that an item that doesn't even come with basic instructions should never get five stars. Well, if there's some magic in the switch, I haven't found it. Look elsewhere!

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
