LANCOSC 5X Magnifying Desk Lamp & Clamp, 3 Color Modes, Stepless Dimmable, 8-Diopter Real Glass Lens, Adjustable Swivel Arm LED Lighted Magnifier Light and Stand for Craft, Close Work, Reading, White

UPDATE April 2022.While this lamp has been great this entire time. 3 days ago I started noticing a smell of hot electronics and plastic coming from my desk, upon evaluation and examination I found the little power supply that this came with very very hot, and the USB cable melting...the USB cable itself was hot the entire way to the control buttons and the buttons themselves was also hot. Manufacturer needs to relocate the controller onto the base of lamp near the lights, and they absolutely need to install over voltage/thermal protections which this does NOT have currently...then they need to increase wire gauge at least to a 20 ga. wire...the USB wire inside the cable looks to be 24 or 26. I am very alarmed that this needs to be stated. I am an electronics engineer and this is unacceptable...this could have very easily burned my home down if I was not in the room.BTW, if you say, well you should not leave lights unattended. I buy a desk lamp to illuminate my room and use with electronic stuff...it gets left unattended for hours at a time, like literally every other electronic and light in a home.END UPDATEI have used a number of this type of lamp over the years, but this being 5volt USB makes it super efficient, easy to implement on my work bench, and the color or temperature options are nice and keep my eyes from being fatigued so easily. The optic on this is large and makes the super small easier to work on. Highly recommended.Also, their support is nice, and available when you need...

Update: emailed the company because the clamp did not work on my deep desk edge. Thy sent be a solid ring to use as base at no charge. Wow. I am impressed by their addressing my concern. They even tossed in a mini lighted magnifier which my wife loves. 5 StarsQuality of construction is very good. Light choices are nice and it does a great job lighting small objects with a ring of light. I like being able to run it from a USB port or AC outlet. Magnification is OK, not as strong as I expected but for a large lense you can work on a fist sized object and see everything. They provide a screw clamp bracket - which probably works fine if you desk is only 1 1/2 inches thick but my office type furniture is closer to 3 inches. I would have bought a weighted base if one was offered. The company material says email them with issues - just sent them a note.This is not designed to heavy duty office standards, but sure exceeds what you would expect for home use. Screws, springs, square tube construction , 4.4 inch lense all look good. They exceeded my expectations.I would say this would be a great light for someone with hobbies that needs good lighting and magnification. Maybe folks who tie flies, or doing soldering. Great for seeing a splinter.I am please with the product and expect to have many years of service. I might be giving one away for Christmas to some of my hard to buy for son-in-laws. The box it comes in is well made and good for shipping, just a brown clamshell type box with the money spend on quality not marketing material on the outside.

This lamp magnifier is great for its price point. Very well made of quality metal parts with the exception of the clamp and some knobs which are plastic. I will go out on a limb and say that I'm sure this will last a long time and is definitely not a 'toy'.I purchased this to replace an Ottlite magnifier floor lamp. The Ottlight was at least 5 years old and I loved it until the upper bendable arm broke where it was joined to the main shaft stand. Unfortunately, the most vulnerable part and actually the very part that would endure the most stress due to being moved many times a day was made from plastic. If it had been made of metal I would still have it today since the lamp was still in great working order.The Lancosc lens was not as clear as the Ottlight. Let me clarify that. The image under the Lancosc lens would become distorted the further away the sightline is from the center of the lens. This does not happen with the Ottlight lens at all. One thing I truly missed in the Lancosc was the super magnification spot that I use frequently.One feature the Lancosc lamp has is the choice levels of 3 light spectrums and also brightness. Choices the Ottlight does not have. BUT the light does not come close to covering as much area as the Ottlight. Whereas the Ottlight is more of a floodlight illuminating a large area with a bright light as opposed to the Lancosc that is a narrow SPOT light only.Seriously though, one really can't go wrong purchasing the Lancosc clamp-on magnifier lamp at a price point 4 to 5 times less than the Ottlight. The Ottlight I had now retails for about $140. So there is really no comparison and the Lancosc which fit anyone's budget. I'm happy I bought it.

I was pleasantly surprised. For what this product cost, I didn't expect the amount of quality. From the excellent packaging to the ease of use and brightness, everything in this magnifier excels. I would not hesitate to buy it again. Great for electronic work, jewelry repair or any project that requires bright hands free magnification. It easily clamped to my desk (and the desk is protected by a rubber pad on the clamp. Since I don't intend to leave it up all the time, it is easy to set up, remove, and store. I leave as many 1 reviews as 5s and this definitely deserves a 5. It is LED and comes with a 10W usb power supply. You can probably connect it to any USB source that has enough capacity.

This magnifier/work light is designed to be mounted on the edge or corner of a table or desk, and since I needed to use it for my workbench (which has no mountable edges or corners), I had to improvise a bit. Once I had the light mounted and adjusted, it worked well. The lighting is quite bright, but is also adjustable for both color and level of light...so you can ‘dial-in’ your preference. The magnifier is clear and defined, without distortion, as far as I can tell. I think it was a good buy.
