I was looking for a magnifying lamp that wasn’t batteries operated for a long time till I came across this one! It’s fantastic for me as I’m severely sighted in one eye & not anywhere nr 100% in the other???? but thanks to this lamp I can do things I use to enjoy & not have to worry about it cutting out halfway through then having to try &find my place again????! I gave up more than a few times!! Also the magnifier is bigger on this lamp & clearer but it does take me longer to position it as the neck flex is always wanting to do its own thing!
Strengths
Great magnifyier & that it is plug in so it doesn’t run out half way through projects.
Weaknesses
The bending neck takes a bit of getting use to

Daylight lamp
I brought a daylight lamp recently for my wife as she does a lot of craft work, particularly knitting. She is very pleased with it and wishes she had one years ago.
Strengths
Much better lighting than normal bulbs when she needs to concentrate on her work. Still need normal lighting when watching TV etc as daylight light is too strong for these.
Weaknesses
None.

And there was light
We bought this because I was having difficulty in reading my knitting pattern and checking my knitting.
Strengths
It's a good large size, sits solidly on the floor, it has good magnification and lights the area well.
Weaknesses
The switch is very temperamental and often takes 2/3 attempts to switch it on. The lead could be a good 12 inches longer.
