The Veemagni 5X Real Glass 2-in-1 Desk Lamp & Clamp is one of those products that's so well designed and executed that it's hard to think of a shortcoming. The 5X magnification far exceeds any comparable product we tested, and the 2-in-1 design (which allows you to use it as a light, or use the clamp to attach it to a desk or table) helps keep the lamp out of the way. The lamp has 4 brightness levels, and the light does a good job of illuminating the smaller objects it's meant to see. The clamp is sturdy without being too weight-heavy, and the light head can be rotated 360 degrees. The 5X lens is 4.3 inches in diameter, so it provides enough magnification to read small objects without distortion. The metal ball and socket construction of the clamp keeps the lamp from wobbling, and the clamp is long enough to attach to most flat surfaces. The lamp is well made, and it's a pleasure to use.

The JUOIFIP desk magnifying glass has a number of features, including a large lens, an 8x magnification, 3 color modes, and 10 brightness levels. It weighs only 1.4 pounds, and the 4.3-inch lens is large and free of distortion. The adjustable hands-free swing arm is convenient, but we wish it were longer. The JUOIFIP's white mode is too bright for close work, but the dark and warm modes work well. The JUOIFIP's light source is a LED light, so there's not much heat or glare, and it turns off automatically after 6 minutes. It also comes with a stand, but we prefer the JUOIFIP's metal stand to the stand that comes with the .

The Brightech LightView Pro 3 in 1 magnifier lamp has a number of advantages over its closest competitors, including the ability to switch between three different heights, an easily adjustable arm, and a bright, powerful LED light. It has the highest magnification we tested at 5 times, which is plenty for most users. The magnifier's 9W LED light is also bright enough to read comfortably in dark rooms, a fact that's particularly important for magnifiers that will be used in more than one environment. The arms are light enough that they can be held overhead without tiring your arms, and the lamp has a sturdy, metal base. The magnifier's 13-inch focal range is also impressive, and unlike some magnifiers that can make it difficult to read in dark rooms, the LightView Pro's LED light is bright enough to read comfortably in dim conditions. The only drawback we found was its diopter lens. The diopter lens is plastic, which means it doesn't warp or bend over time, but it's less precise than glass, meaning you'll need to adjust the magnifier slightly to get a perfect focus.

We like the Lancosc LED Magnifying Lamp with Clamp for its overall combination of features, build, and price. The lamp's clamp is sturdy, and the 15-degree swing arm can be locked into place with a springy lock. The lamp's 2.25X magnification and adjustable swing arm make it versatile. It works well for close work, such as crafting, reading, beading, and repairing small electronics. The lamp's 1,500-lumen brightness is a little low for working at night, but still bright enough for daytime use. Its 5-diopter lens is adjustable up and down and swivels 350 degrees, which makes it easy to position the light exactly where you need it. The lamp's 3 color modes are bright enough for reading, but dimmer for night use. The lamp's 4.3-in. diameter glass lens is crystal clear, with no optical distortion. The lamp's 2-hour battery lasts long enough for a full day's work, and the lamp has energy-efficient LEDs, so it'll consume less energy than similarly rated incandescent lamps. The lamp's 3AA batteries are not included, but we recommend purchasing them with Amazon's 5-star guarantee.

This magnifier lamp is a much narrower, lighter and easier to use version of the model we previously recommended. It weighs just .3 pounds, and measures 5 x 4.3 x .5 inches, making it small enough to tuck away on a desk or table when not in use, yet heavy enough to provide stable support. The lamp comes with both clamp and swivel options. The clamp is more stable, but it's easier and easier to accidentally bump the lens, and the swivel is easier to adjust. The swivel feature is also handy if you want to put the lamp on an object or use it in a different orientation. The magnifier lamp has a 5X magnification, which is sufficient for most close work, but if you need a higher magnification, there are 6X and 10X magnifiers available. The 5X lens is very clear, free of distortion, and it provides a better view of the subject. The lamp has 3 color modes, which are white, white&warm, and warm, and each mode can be adjusted between 10% and 100% according to your needs.

The LEDs are positioned around(not above) the magnifier, so they don't cast shadows. The lamp is adjustable, so you can adjust it to any angle you want. The lamp head is attached to a clamp, so it can easily be placed on the edge of a table, desk, etc. The lamp head has a touch dimming feature, so you can easily adjust any brightness level between 10% and 100%. The 5-inch 2.25X super magnifying lamp with high-definition optical glass illuminates a bright beam of vivid light without glare. The magnified image is very clear. Without optical distortion, you won't feel dizzy even if you see the details through the lens for a long time. The magnifying lamp is a perfect choice for people who constantly focus close up work, like reading, painting, office, etc.

This 5X HD magnifying floor lamp is an outstanding choice for anyone looking for a high-quality magnifier light. The lamp is bright and has excellent color reproduction. It's also very easy to adjust the brightness, and the light won't flicker or dim. The stand is sturdy and stable, and the glass is thick enough to avoid bending. The lamp is also very versatile. You can use it as a work light for estheticians, a reading lamp, or a family floor lamp. The magnifier is large and wide, so it's perfect for viewing 30- or 40-point font.

The lamp's clamp is handy, and I liked that the lamp has a protective cover on the stand, so it won't scratch your desk. The stand's tilt adjustment is handy, and the lamp's swivel arm is adjustable as well. The stand is light enough that you can lift it by only two fingers. Overall, this magnifier is well designed and performs well.

The glass is hefty, weighing in at nearly a pound. It is well constructed, with a metal frame and a plastic base, and the glass itself is clear and sharp. The movable arm is sturdy, and it comes with a sturdy metal clamp. The clamp is pretty large, so it won't fit under most desks. The lamp is bright for such a large glass, and it's dimmable, so it's easy to find the right brightness. The lamp also offers a 90-degree adjustable neck that makes it easy to direct the light exactly where you want it. The lamp's dimmer button is quite responsive, and the lamp's light is high-quality. The lamp also offers a long burn time, and it comes with a 6-watt bulb, which lasts more than 50,000 hours. The lamp is cordless, so there are no cords to tangle, and it's rechargeable.
