Review on Lancosc LED Lighted Magnifier Desk Lamp with Stand, 5X Glass Lens, Stepless Dimmable 3 Color Modes, Adjustable Swivel Arm, Clamp for Repair Crafts Reading Sewing, Black by Tiffany Tucker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Exactly what I needed.

(Please note: NO second magnifying glass included. I added this myself) Wife got this for me as a birthday present. This fits my needs perfectly! What I like the most is that the light has 3 different modes. White LEG, Warm LED and a combination of both. This is great for distinguishing color differences. The brightness can also be adjusted. It's USB powered, which can be handy, but I prefer to plug it into the wall with an adapter. (I think it came with the box.) True, the cord was a bit short, but I had an extension cord. Another thing I noticed is that depending on what you connect it to, it might disable when the item is disabled. For example, when my computer went to sleep, the lamp went out. But that's to be expected, and it's not the lamp. The mount is very good but somewhat limited. It attaches to the table which makes it very secure. However, if you frequently need to adjust your light to non-standard angles, you may want a light with a flexible metal gooseneck. But it works fine for my needs. Last note. Magnification is quite good, 2.25 HD, but sometimes not strong enough to see very fine details. I need more magnification than most. I solved this problem by putting another magnifying glass loop on top of the glass. It has a small border so it stays in order. (see image) The only downside is that it feels a bit fragile, for example if you try to move it too far it might break. If magnification is important to you, you may need something more powerful.

Pros
  • Regular price
