Great lamp for close up artwork
This lamp is fantastic AND looks great! Very attractive white, clean look to it, and I like that the springs don’t show like the old black one it’s replacing. The clamp has been updated from the other too. This one is very sturdy, heavy, and clamps easily, stays secure. The lens is really wonderful, distortion free, and I love that it can be removed if I ever want to. I’m using this to do tiny seed bead art, and I’m now 67 and getting back into this very detailed close up work I needed a light that could help me see the holes, thread the needle that very thin, (like a horse tail hair or smaller) and I has started my project before I got the lamp, and did the second part after the lamp came so I definitely could see the difference, and improvement to the work, my speed, and eye strain. It’s probably cut my time in half being able to more easily see the hole and get my needle into that hole, I’m really happy I thought of getting this one. Also was impressed with how easily it rotates away from me when I want to get up, or swing it back into place when I’m really to continue. I haven’t figured out yet which type of light is best for my uses, but I’ll work on it. Also happy I don’t have to be embarrassed about its looks if a friend stops by, I can just leave it where I’ve clamped it and it isn’t an eyesore like the old black one I had before with the huge ugly springs on the sides.
