Tools and Hardware Reviews of SE 4" Dia. Illuminated. Magnifier, 110V Desk Lamp, WhiteCustomer Review: It Illuminates...It Magnifies...It Collapses! Summary: 3 Stars
I hate clichés, but "You get what you pay for", unfortunately, applies to this purchase experience. Having said that, however, let's look at what you get for the $15.99 this item NOW costs on Amazon. When I ordered it, Amazon listed it for $29.99, but now that I see the price is now almost 50% of what it was, I have to revise my review and give the item 3 stars instead of the intended 2 starts I had been planning to give it. For $15.99, you'll get everything the product claims to deliver. It does illuminate quite nicely with a regular bulb (although installing the bulb allows you to see how flimsy the item is designed), and its magnification - at least for my purposes - has been fine. It also has a very nice span of coverage, factoring in both its rotational and extension abilities. But that's where a disclaimer needs to be: WARNING! Adjust the span very carefully, lest the clamp which "tightens" the arm to the table comes undone, causing the entire thing to collapse. While it's true that there appear to be s4 crew holes in the clamp to you to permanently attach it to the table, I really don't want to have to do this. Besides, the quality of the plastic clamp itself is highly questionable in terms of whether any screws used to mount it to a table would break the plastic surrounding the pre-drilled holes. The hinging mechanism that allows you to flip the light box up and down is also extremely flimsy - in fact, two of the tiny screws that secure it to the arm had come off during shipping. I found them in the packaging and re-installed them, which was no easy task.
But for $15.99 - and I suppose even for $29.99, given how much these types of lamps typically cost - it's an okay deal, as long as you remember to take certain precautions when using it.
