Brightech LightView PRO Magnifying Desk Lamp, 2.25x Light Magnifier, Adjustable Magnifying Glass with Light for Crafts, Reading, Close Work - Black

I purchased this lamp / magnifier to help me replace a battery in my iphone 5s. I knew the parts would be tiny, and they are, and this lamp made a huge difference for that particular project. I hesitated justifying the cost of this lamp to do that one project but now that I have the lamp in place I've discovered that it is an absolute joy to have as part of my work space. I work from home 3 days a week and have found the lamp itself to be a handy addition to my area. The mounting clamp is sturdy and easy to use, providing you have a desk that can accommodate the clamp. My desk is about 1 inch thick; the clamp easily fit and is very sturdy. Once the clamp is in place the lamp easily mounts the mount by dropping into a hole in the clamp. It is simple. Once the lamp is in place it will swing freely by swiveling in the mount. The swing arm extends nicely and is very versatile. I have not found a position that the lamp could not reach for my work purposes. The power cord is a heavy duty, grounded plug. I'm guessing it's 5-6 feet long. It's very adequate if you have a plug approximate to your desk/mounting surface. The light is bright and white. The cover on the top of the light keeps the magnifier dust free. I don't need a magnifier very often so in most cases I'll use the light with the dust cover down. And when I'm finished using the light I just push it out of the way and it disappears behind my monitor. The packaging that the lamp is shipped in is also very solid. I kept the box and packaging materials... I may be moving in a year or two... Without the original packaging it will be a rather unwieldy unit to pack. Overall the lamp is well built, works great, and easily adjustable to my work area. Even if you want a nice task lamp, without the magnifier, I would recommend it. That magnifier will come in handy when reading battery numbers and serial numbers off of small electronic gadgets.

Amazing lamp! Rated at 9 watts max, this lamp is brighter than the higher wattage lamps in my household! The lamp itself seems to be built very sturdy, is lightweight and is easily moved around to light anywhere within it's reach. Clamps well to my 1.5" thick desk and has held it's hold through many adjustments. The led lamp is very bright and provides a comfortable white light that does not make my eyes tired and enhances the details in my projects. Their is no detectable heat coming from my lamp, I can have the lamp on for 5 hours and I feel no heat coming from it. The 5" glass magnifier seems to be made well and brings clarity to fine detailed work that is ordinarily hard to see with the naked eye and with glasses. So far been using the magnifier to solder small electrical components and the magnifier/lamp hovers high enough above my work that I can see small details without fear that the soldering iron will melt or burn the lamp itself. I also appreciate that this magnifier has a cover, the cover keeps dust off the lens and keeps the sun from starting fires as the lamp is on a desk near a window. Overall, although I have only used this lamp for a couple of weeks, I feel very comfortable that this lamp will work with me for several years. I would definitely recommend this lamp (and related models) to others. I feel so comfortable with this lamp that I am also considering a floor model for my parents and another clamp-on lamp for my other desk. Price on these lamps are a good value for the quality that is provided. Also worth mentioning, this purchase arrived 1 week ahead of projected delivery date. Pros: 1. bright. 2. sturdy. 3. great magnifier. 4. competitive pricing and quality. Cons: Can't think of any at the moment, I really like this lamp so far.

I have had the lamp for a few weeks. I am a wood worker and do quite a bit of 'small' work at my work bench. I had a good array of overhead LED tube lights that brightened my work area very well but found that I frequently needed more focused light and the aid of a magnifier. After some research I homed in on the Britghtech Light because of the magnifier, the LED light system and the apparent sturdy construction. It turns out I made a good choice for my needs. The led light system is very bright and nicely enhances my work under the normal shop lights. Because it does not get 'hot' the LED system enables me to enclose it with a clear plastic bag as a cover to block all of the dust I generate. The magnifier did take a little time for me to 'find the range' but is a very effective aid and has improved my visual access to the details of my wood projects. I do have to get a little closer to my work than I would like but it is not a big issue. Lastly, the sturdy construction of the light is excellent. The extension joints are well constructed and hold their position without the usual tendency to slowly' spring back' seen in other , lesser quality, extension lamps. This is an excellent product and exceeded my expectations in performance and quality.

Very nice manifying desk lamp. Materials and construction are great. The swingarm is easy to move and holds its position well. However, the swivel joint of the head is too stiff and requires two hands to manipulate. Maybe it will loosen up over time and become easier to use... The light ring is bright and very usable in most situations, but I wish it had an "extra bright" mode for getting a really good look at things under the magnifying glass. I really like the 2.5x magnification - it seems to be just the right amount for a range of close-up work, but not overly powerful so that you can't see things outside of a narrow band of focus.

Excelente calidad de producto en entrega muy rápida, vendedor 100% confiable.

I just love this lamp ... very long reach, making it very useful on a large desk, very sturdy construction, it stays where you set it (just as advertised). Brightness is great, I love two tones (warm and daylight, variable intensity). Being able to protect the lens with its integrated cover is also a great feature. Magnification is just good for my needs (I work among other things at fixing very little mechanical parts on a hobby helicopter). Overall very well engineered and manufactured. Only improvement I suggest is the location of variable intensity touch buttons is too close to the front end and I continuously hit them by accident while moving the lamp :( ... they should be at the rear end, along with the power switch, as far as I am concerned. Highly recommended !!!

A los dos días de utilizar la luz led esta dejo de funcionar y el cambiar las luces es casi imposible y caro

The info on the screen should make clear an adapter is needed to use this in the UK

I have used many magnifying lamps over the last five or six years. Brand names like Ott and Daylight, as well as others. I’m always looking for a good Magnifier. This one fills the bill. The lens is glass which makes a big difference in terms of precision viewing, the lights are bright but not glaring, the unit itself is very sturdy and the springs are encased so there is less of a chance of you snagging something or pinching yourself when moving the lamp. It’s a very good value.
