Product Description
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 (not external springs like lesser lamps) 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. Extra-large 7.5" x 6.2" glass lens with 5-diopter (2.25X) magnification lets you see fine detail clearly but still has a practical focal range (distance of text or object from lens) of up to 7". 108 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 8-watts power with estimated life of 100,000 hours. Conveniently-placed power switch on top of lamp head so it's easy to reach. Overall length 48", weight 11 lbs 72" 18AWG UL-listed power cord.

Just Right Light
By Keith C.
When looking for a magnifying lamp, I found there are a lot of options out there from around $50 to near $500. I'm sure you could spend $1500 if you worked at it. This one seems like a good compromise, not too expensive, not too cheap.The item we're talking about here identifies itself as a Bourya Model 8069LED magnifier lamp. It does indeed have 108 LEDs, I counted. As others have noted, the magnifying head is big -- an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper won't quite cover it.I was pleased with the packaging. The lamp came in an extra-heavy cardboard carton. The magnifying head was well-protected in a styrofoam clamshell and plastic bag. The rest of the lamp was guarded by more cardboard, styrofoam, plastic bags, and twist ties. Amazon packed it in a big box with an orbital sander, yet the lamp survived its journey unscathed.One thing not included in the package was any kind of printed material. At first, the base clamp seemed to be missing from the package. It turned out to have been taped to one of the styrofoam pieces, and was just light enough to be easy to miss. A picture or a thousand words might have made this clear. I didn't really miss the usual warnings about not using the product in the bathtub, however.I'm very happy with the magnification this lamp provides. The lens is huge, and is actually a compound lens. If you look at the lens edgewise, you'll see an inner disc-shaped lens surrounded by a larger doughnut-shaped lens. A quick search on "compound lens" will show why this is a good thing. Still, if you look at at 3.5" square piece of paper through this lens, you'll see some geometric and color distortion. The edges of the paper appear to curve inward and have a blue fringe. These effects are not evident when you look at smaller objects that are more in the center of the lens. So this is not the lens you want for reading, but it should be great for electronics or hobby work. The outer edges of the lens are like peripheral vision, allowing you to see where hands and tools are in relation to the workpiece.I'm satisfied with the LED lighting. It's bright without being too bright. I'm not sure if the "color temperature" is optimal for long hours of use, but it beats fluorescent lighting as far as I'm concerned. And of course, LEDs burn a lot cooler than the other options. Most of the LEDs are on the sides of the lens. There's a row of single LEDs across the top edge of the lens, and no LEDs on the bottom edge of the lens. What I'm calling the "bottom edge" would normally be closest to you when using the magnifier.One thing to think about is where you'll mount the lamp. The optimal spot is probably on the opposite edge of your work surface, directly across from you, so you would pull the lamp down and towards you to use it. This is tricky if your work surface is flush with a wall or unusually deep. If you try to mount the light on the near edge of your table or counter, you'll find the magnifying head doesn't want to be parallel to the support arms. The connection between the magnifying head and the lamp arm is not a ball joint, so not all angles are possible. Other mounting options would include using a hole through the work surface or a sturdy shelf above the work surface. If you can provide a 1/2" hole, about 2" deep and lined with a suitable material, you don't need to use the base clamp.All in all, this light is a very good value. I don't think you'll find this lamp in your doctor's office or on a Foxconn assembly line, but it's pretty good bet for a lot of light-to-moderate uses that don't involve life-or-death decisions.

Perfect Desk Lamp Magnifier
By Jonathan
I have used several cheap desk lamp magnifiers. They always wind up breaking. Either the clamp or the arm bolts, etc.This lamp though is absolutely perfect. The magnification is excellent. The viewing area is huge. And the mulit-leds light up everything you put under it perfectly.The thing is built like a tank also. Wonderful design. Very solid.It's a must buy for electronic work, or small projects.

By Torsten Hoff
I just received the lamp and hooked it up. It's a big improvement on the lamp I had, both in terms of lighting and optical performance.The construction quality and design are pretty good, and the magnifying glass and light from the LEDs are excellent. The light is pleasantly bright and even, there is no electrical hum, the LEDs give off no heat, and there is no flicker.The only disappointments are that the design of the arm was switched from a counter-weighted one to a spring-loaded one, and that the cover for the magnifying glass doesn't latch open using notches or friction from the hinges. If the magnifier is used with the lamp in a nearly vertical position, the cover won't stay open.Overall I'm happy that I spent a little extra on this model and would recommend it to others.
