As soon as I can afford to get the other type of Ott-Lite's for the other rooms in the house where I like to read I am going to do it. This is the best quality light. Currently I just have the portable and I move it from my computer desk to wherever I am reading. This was a great investment for my eyes.

I bought an older version of this lamp years ago (no magnifier), and it has been a part of my "office health kit" ever since. I purchased a small round mirror (about a foot in diameter) at a craft store and I stand the lamp on it, plus I added a small mirror fastened against the upright "post" - so when it is open and lit, the whole fixture radiates more light, in more directions, then just the lamp along (reflected rays).

I have worked quite a variety of office jobs since I bought this, and always take it with me and set it to the left of the computer, where I tend to focus when I'm not looking at the screen (and where I place material to read, or to type). I've recommended it to quite a few people for a similar usage, and am totally satisfied with the product. It's made an enormous, positive difference in my life, and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!

Light is easy on the eyes , but not powerful enough at 13 watts .
Eighteen would be much better . Magnifier is clunky and basically unusable . An option to run on batteries would have been nice . I bought this lamp thinking portable meant AC/DC operation . I like the auto-shutoff when arm is pushed down .

The information on the advertisement said it was a 2X magnifier, when it arrived it was only 1X which is not strong enough for someone with macular degeneration.
