I purchased 1 black and 1 white 3 diopter Lightviews about a month ago and use both daily with the generously weighted bases and the large, strong table clamps provided. I like being able to switch easily between the 2 mounts, as each has its advantages. Gooseneck and power cord are plenty long, and light is bright and white. Magnifier is adequate for my needs, but an additional, higher power lens inset would be ideal (just sayin'- actually, I am considering ordering a 5 diopter version.)
