I use this magnifier to see detail when I am needlepointing. I attach it to the wooden frame that I have my needlepoint piece mounted on. Because it's portable, it allows me to work on my needlepoint just about anywhere.

I bought this magnifying lamp to use while making jewelry. It fits the bill. The only thing I would change would be to make the clamp which attaches the lamp to the surface, open wider. I had to attach it to a shelf as it will not fit on my desktop. But there are many adjustment points and I was able to use it easily. Considering the wide price range for magnifying lamps for crafts, I wasn't sure that this - one of the least expensive - could possibly be a good choice. I called the company to ask a few questions, and the person I spoke to was very reassuring and friendly. I found that the LED light is plenty bright and the magnification is plenty strong. What more could I ask for (except the clamp issue)? This meets my needs for a great price.

Everything it claims to be, easy to set and use, very clear lens, auxiliary power source was a big plus for me, as I do a lot of fine wire work and a session lasting 4-5 hours is not unusual. A very good product, outperforming other lighted magnifiers that cost two to five times as much. Highly recommend.
