I had recently worn out the lighted magnifier I use for electronics work. A lot of the gear I build and repair uses surface-mount components, the most-common-size of which is 2 by 1.25 millimeters. At almost age 60, it's a challenge to my vision.
My old magnifier had a 3-diopter lens, so I was very pleased to find the additional magnification of the 5-diopter lens on this model.
The dual CFL lamps provide even lighting, though sometimes I'd still welcome more of it.
The arm stays where it's put, and the friction settings are well-calibrated.
The only optical problem I have with the lens is that there's some diffraction/refraction (whichever it is!) error that results in some color-banding toward the edges of the lens. Viewing the work through the center of the lens is fine, though.
Just as with reading glasses, the trade-off for additional magnification is that depth-of-field is decreased, meaning that spacing between lens and work is more critical. For me, though, the added magnification is more than worth it.
I'm satisfied with this product.

As we age, our eyes naturally lose some of their ability to focus close-in. A teenager can focus on objects as close as 3" but by age 50 that distance can increase to 18" - VERY frustrating when it limits your work or hobby. This premium-grade lamp is a simple and effective solution for seeing almost anything bigger, better and brighter. 36" triple-joint arm has unique internal cantilever system that lets you adjust without loosening/tightening knobs - perfectly balanced to hold position (can be locked in position if necessary). Heavy-duty die-cast aluminum clamp with no-mark pad, nickel-plated steel screw fits surfaces to 2-1/2"-thick; easy to move remove and takes up just 2" of desk space. Large 5"-diameter glass lens with 3-diopter (1.75X) magnification lets you see fine detail clearly but still has a practical focal range (distance of text or object from lens) of up to 9". Ninety individual super-bright LED illuminate with pure white light without the heat build-up of incandescent or halogen and without the flicker of fluorescent. Consumes less than 6-watts power with estimated life of 100,000 hours. Conveniently placed power switch on lamp head, flip-up dust cover protects lens & keeps it clean. Overall length 48", weight 5.5 lbs 72" 18AWG UL-listed power cord.
